Salam people…
So i wanted to get this dress by Shazia (in rwp):
its a bridal maxi and i think she told me it was around 3 lakh.
Now a relative got the same dress made as a party outfit from her, for 55000 rupees…it turned out like this:
Shazia qouted me 65000 rs if i wanted it as a party outfit…now my question is, is it worth it?..
As i have no experience or idea about pakistani designers and stuff, so please please help me out 
Re: Is this dress worth it?
Okay so I don't know anything about prices for clothes in Pakistan but if I'm doing my math right 55,000 rupees comes out to about $600. Is it just me or is that a crazy price tag for that outfit?
Re: Is this dress worth it?
^ For a bridal....I dont think $600 is outrageous.

but isn't that the price for her relative's dress in the pic, and she isn't wearing a bridal correct?
The bridal quote she got was 3 lakh which is 300,000 rupees so that would be around $3300
Re: Is this dress worth it?
$600 for a "party outfit" and $3300 for a bridal is ridiculous IMO. I usually buy my desi outfits in the U.S......and for "party outfits"....I usually pay around $300-$350. And my bridal that I ordered last month cost me $2500 (I'm getting matching churidaar with it so I can re-use it).
If those are the prices I'm paying in the U.S., I'd expect prices back home to be lower.

True....personally I think 600 is ALOT for a party outfit as well as 3300K for a bridal...
Re: Is this dress worth it?
I'm getting a heavy formal outfit made by a designer in Pak to wear at my BIL's wedding and it is going to be around Rs 50,000..:-/ i shopped around for a while and came to know that a decent formal would anywhere between 35K-50K+++ in Pak given that fabric used is of highest quality and embroidery is fine and design is customized as per customer's demand!
Re: Is this dress worth it?
This dress is worth 2.5 lakh. IF the dobatta is good and bridal. It is a solid quote. 3 is a bit too much for it. But 2.5 is fine.
Re: Is this dress worth it?
Hey. Just looked at pictures again. As a formal it is not worth the price at all. BUT as a bridal like in the picture, it is very nice. 3 lakh is over the top. 2.5 lakh is the best anyone should expect for this, by anyone I mean any designer who doesnt have a big name.
People like you who are abroad will be suckered into paying 3 lakh. People like us who are living in Pakistan would probably get this within 2.5 lakhs and that would be a good buy. BUT we would also push for dobatta to be heavier, along with the dress AS IT IS in the picture.
I hope that helps you out :)

Okie lemme' get this straight...so people abroad get "suckered" into paying 3 lakh and people in PK can get it for 2.5 lakh! Wow...50 K difference! Looks like you also got "suckered" into paying a mad amount!
Re: Is this dress worth it?
I dont understand what you are meaning to say iyla.
Is this sarcasm? If so, it is quite a weak attempt.

Re: Is this dress worth it?
lol.
@Demesne she's saying that its too expensive either way.
I don't see how you could interpret what she said to being sarcastic.
Re: Is this dress worth it?
ohh really?..i always thought designers were much more expensive, like i have seen saris for 80 000 and all …
the party outfit isnt even a little heavy, i have started to wonder now hmm
Theres only rani emaan except shazia in rawalpindi…shes probably more expensive

which designer CA? :)
Re: Is this dress worth it?
Even i think its alot for a party outfit, but then again its my brothers wedding and i really thought designers were much more expensive ...hmm
Re: Is this dress worth it?
No it doesnt look worth the price. I am not liking it at all, it has no designer feel to it. The fabric used looks very ordinary!
Re: Is this dress worth it?
The shadi dress is worth the price, but not of 3 lakhs given she is not a very notable designer
lol. @Demesne she's saying that its too expensive either way. I don't see how you could interpret what she said to being sarcastic.
Re: Is this dress worth it?
I think you need a reality check when it comes to prices of good clothes in Pakistan
and 50K savings is not peanuts.
