Im going to order one formal and one casual piece from each place to see what the quality range is. I will be $1000 broke by the end of this venture but i think its worth it.
j/k. I haven’t shopped anyplace online other than sila. Will check out these other sites.
So do go ahead and post your findings. You will be doing us a great service :k:
i hope it wasnt of much trouble to you and Mods and belive me it wasnt for sale only as we are already on backlog.
was just curious to know your feedback afterall you are prospect and i am sure it would have mattered alot to us.
below also increased my curiosity :) :)
Thanks for the suggestion,however i havent seen any piece i like on there yet.
thought may be we can have something more to learn here.
anyways thanks ...
Meena im going to wait till monday morning, if i get any more suggestions till then i will revise the list if needed, then i will order at all the decided places the same day.
^^ are u ordering for me??lolz.
i dunno what size i am in Shalwar Kamiz ....i usually order my cynosure (karachi boutique) dresses in xs size...and for the tailored ones i send the tailor a nicely fitted shirt to duplicate....
sooraj-mukhi can you also let us know which online shops have shalwar kameez in stock? it seems that on sila.com most of their outfits have to be pre-ordered. i wouldn't want to wait 6 weeks to get an outfit.
meena, about Sila, I didn't have to wait at all, and I've gotten a few. What you can also do is call them or email them to ask about the outfit you want, customer service was great. They also told me about a few outfits that were not yet on the website, said I could return if I didn't like, but of course I didn't want to buy without seeing the pics first. Anyway, got my outfits within 5 days, they also do overnight shipping.
Ok, I don't know about that. I usually give them a call before I place the order online to make sure it's in stock and when it will ship out. So far never had a problem.
eshakti.com- dress comes from India, takes 10-14 days to make and 5-7 business days to deliver so about 21 days.
salwar.com- dress comes from India, takes 14 days to make and 5 days to deliver so about 19 days.
786shop.com- dress comes from Pakistan, takes 15 days to make and with courier takes 3-5 days to deliver but that cost is around $40 and with air mail takes upto 20 days to deliver. so about 35 days.
sila.com- instock items ship the same day from the US and Canada, some pre-orders ship in 10 days (they have it listed on their site for particular designs), formal pre-orders ship in 6 weeks. Custom orders ship in 6-8 weeks. Standard ground delivers in 4-7 biz days.
So once i order on Monday lets see the actual delivery time for all of them.
