As salaamu aleykum everyone. I am ordering an anarkali dress from sister sairaji. I am having it made into an abaya. It will look exactly the same except it will just be longer. I am going to change the color combonation around and I need your guys help picking which one. Please advice me!

Baby pink material with the majority amount of white embroidery & embelishment with some dark rose pink accenting and some gold accenting ( i think this is my favorite combo) - this one stands out the most. you can get sequins added for it to look a lil fancy yet not heavy!
btw, if you dont mind me asking, how much is the suit costing?
Re: HELP I need advice on color combonation for a dress I am custom ordering
Thank you guys for all your imput! I decided to go with a combination of 2 & 3. So it will be soft pink material with alot of white kaam. Then it will have some black accenting to stand out and have gold piping all over the outfit to further bring out the kaam. Then she is going to add hotpink jamawar on the edges of the bodice.
Im going for a serene elegant look, so thats why I chose light pink, and the white kaam will just uliminate off of it (it is the majority of the kaam).
She is then making me a hijaab/duppata to go with it with embroidery all over it and heavy on both sides. I am thinking of having her make me a matching undercap too.
Also she is making me shalwar pants that are like princess jasmin pants. So they are fitted at the ankle and form sort of a bubble shape. This will go under the abaya and when I am sitting and walking while holding my dress up, then it will show a little. It adds a really beduin look to it. The pants will also have the same embroidery on it.
I am paying 280 usd which includes shipping : )
I will post a picture of it (with saira's permission ofcourse) when I get it right before eid.
Re: HELP I need advice on color combonation for a dress I am custom ordering
Yes ofcourse! I will post a pic when I get it inshaa Allaah. I just love converting the high end fashion design salwar kameez, anarkali, and saris into abayas. You'll never find an abaya like yours. For some reason in the arab fashion world, I have never really seen designer made abayas with intricate kaam etc...and nothing really too much. And usually they are mass produced. Or they just look tacky.
With this I am able to get the best quality material...and something so fashionable..and unique.
Im also thinking about later (after the eid rush) of ordering some hijaabs, khimaars, and niqaabs too. : D
Re: HELP I need advice on color combonation for a dress I am custom ordering
Oh...and ps...I was looking at the other post about abayas and fashion... I wear khimars and niqaabs (black) when I go out, yet I am ordering this beautiful pink abaya. Just because we wear hijaabs and plain things outside infront of non mahram men...doesnt mean we cant wear drop dead gorgeous dresses among each other (sisters)! hehe also alot of the time I will wear pretty and flashy things under my khimar. :D
Re: HELP I need advice on color combonation for a dress I am custom ordering
Brilliant idea!!! The black abaya in the picture looks stunning and will look even better in the colour combo uv chosen. I went to Dubai to look or simple but elegant abayas with kaam...and found only really tacky kaam or boring abayas.
Re: HELP I need advice on color combonation for a dress I am custom ordering
Thanks guys!! I am also thinking (when I save up enough money) to have saira make me some niqaabs, and butterfly abayas, and oblong hijabs. I really only wear black when I go out, but I want to get quality material that saira uses in her original outfits. I havent spoken to her about prices yet, but since they wont have but a little but of embroidery on it if any, Im sure it wont be too too expensive.
Lol...if I was a millionare I would probably buy all of saira's outifts, ofcourse right after I solved world peace ; )
Re: HELP I need advice on color combonation for a dress I am custom ordering
Seher: I know what you mean! Somtimes in stores here (USA) i find even the simplest of abayas with noo kaam on it whatsoever are like exhorbirant prices. And when they do have some embroidery on them, its just machine and even more expensive to wear they are prices that hand embroidery should be...
Well, I think this is the best way to go...pakistani kaam and design, with middle eastern style!!! hehe
