I am getting the same one done for a client and cost (alone) is coming out to be PKR 60,000. Different color, similar pattern and high quality material. It can in-fact be done in the price range of 35-40k however the raw material would not be top quality.

I cant say the material i’m using is the best but it is pretty good quality, i got exactly what the karigar told me to get so that the shirt doesn’t sag due to the kaam’s weight. The person i’m making it for had a very tight budget, so there’s heavy embroidery only on one side of the dupatta and none on the gharara/ dhaka pajama.

Also, i’ve known the karigar for a few years so he’s only charging me Rs23,000 for the work, i think thats pretty decent. i know he’ll do a good job, inshaAllah.

Just our curiosity, what sort of material costs Rs 20-25K extra? where do you get it from?

ps: i ain’t no professional… just had a lot of experience with karigars from my own wedding, then my sisters, and now for some relatives.
