Re: How many number of clohing pieces should be
i prefer the idea of an "ongoing jaheyz"... i got two saris and two sk's from my parents, and they gave the rest of the money to us to spend on what we wanted along with some lovely luggage for our honeymoon. so this way whenever i need something new, i usually just ask mum to have it made and send it to me! i get stuff in the newest fashions and it wasn't a huge amount of money to spend at once. i guess its also like someone here said- gauge your social scene and get made what you think you'll need- my only formal dawat's are at Eid- the rest of the time any gatherings with desi friends are in western wear.
