Re: Have you ever made anyone’s BARRI?
There is no standard no. of bari dresses. every family gives what they think is the appropiate no. Personally I thought it was wayyy too much clothes for her seriously, because she came to EU 3 weeks after her wedding and wasnt able to take much of it with her. Although, she used the unstiched once wisely, like giving them to her mum, who stiched them for her in new fashion and style as time passed.
For jewellery we gave one big set of gold with earrings, necklace, jhoomar and tikka, then she had a panj-ungla (I dont know if that is spelled right?"), 12 gold bangles with 4 gold karre, a diamond ring, a normal sized gold set with a tikka which she wore on nikkah, two small size of gold set with just earrings and ring. Then she had a diamond set as well, with chain, pendant, earrings and ring. I think this was about from our side.
From her dads side, for jahez or what you wanna call it, she got 101 dresses. I think about 20 of those were formals, rest casual or unstiched. She didnt have many bags or shoes, as she wasnt going to stay in pakistan for long. She got jewellery in jahez from her father too, I dont know if thats custom either?
