Karma or Rani Emaan

Which designer should I choose to get my Baraat dress made?

Which one is better in terms of

  • Price
  • Quality and variety of work
  • Time it takes to make the dress
  • Customer service
  • Location
  • Overall look, feel and presentation of the dress

I will be staying in Islamabad so getting to Rani Emaan isn’t a problem but I am so tempted to go to Karma as well.

Help!!

Raani Emaan!! Ok im biased because i LOVE their designs..Karma is nice but a lil over-rated in my opinion. Why dont you go to both and form your own opinion? that'll help me too lol as im considering getting my outfit made from them..im going Pak next week and will be visiting Rani Emaan..will keep u posted hun!

Re: Karma or Rani Emaan

thanks duffy!!! please find out from rani (if you dont mind) is if they are willing to change some of the colours of their designs when it comes to getting it made. I like most of their stuff but just wanted to see if some colours could be swapped.

Hope that made sense!

Re: Karma or Rani Emaan

Rani Eman has some really gorgeous stuff. Im guessing their prices are more reasonable than Karma too..not sure. My cousins have ordered some stuff from RE and its always gorgeous

No Probs :) Hm as far as im aware as each piece is custom made they should be willing to change the colours around for you..i vaguely remember somebody mentioning that they had ordered a dress and changed the colours around..they have a group on Facebook hun, u can join that if you're on there..they have a lot of pics of outfits etc and im pretty sure u can message them directly..im looking forward to going! :D

Re: Karma or Rani Emaan

I always thought Karma was amazing though :bummer:

I’ll go and find out as well…but keep us all posted duffy…much love :jano:

Re: Karma or Rani Emaan

Hun im sure Karma must be amazing..but i haven't really seen much of it, and the bits and pieces i have seen some were gorgeously beautiful and some not as much.. ive seen more of Raani Emaan but i would say that you visit both when you go Pak and then make your descision..ill try and be as helpful as possible! cant wait for the lengha shopping to commence! :) xx

my votes goes to Rani Emaan.

Re: Karma or Rani Emaan

Rani emaan (this decision was made after typed n erasing the response several times :D )
*love their designs
*really good customer service over the internet at least (never been able to get anything from Karma)
*over all i think they outfits look better and higher quality thn karma (my opinion)

Re: Karma or Rani Emaan

where is her outlet in pk ??

Re: Karma or Rani Emaan

isl/pindi

Re: Karma or Rani Emaan

oh ok....thanks

i jus have a look on the designs of karma of pfdc show...the formals quite nice n colour combo also very nice...this gypsy/traditional look...but iM sure its overpriced...i think when u creative enough u can get such a dress made-by-urself cheaper :) thats but my personal idea....

Re: Karma or Rani Emaan

yea i agree with everyone re: the above.

I think rani is quite new in comparison to Karma as well. Is that so?

i would pick Rani Emaan over Karma in a heartbeat. Karma is a bit overrated in my opinion, and maybe it has to do with the fact that when in doubt, a bride will choose Karma for their overall consistency and trendy styles. it's just a mile away, you can spot a Karma bride, and last summer alone i saw about 5-6 Karma brides. it takes away any surprise element, because i literally feel like i've seen every combination. brides from the states go for short trips and come back loving there outfits, because Karma will mix and match, but Rani Emaan will make heads turn because you won't know the jhora by the brand name and it'll be way more custom. Karma is a bit cookie cutter, and yes they'll customize for you, and are pretty nice to work with, but you'll still have that Karma embroidery which isn't as intricate and beautiful as Rani Emaan. ive had outfits from both of them, and the quality is quite different. again, this is my opinion and some people may entirely disagree, but it's ultimately up to you. most importantly, its about what suits you, your budget and who can deliver!

Re: Karma or Rani Emaan

my vote is for rani emaan.......... i think all the lenghas of karma are somewhat similar........... nothing new

Re: Karma or Rani Emaan

hmmm....i am being slowly swayed away from karma now! :) I LOVE rani emaans work but havent seen any recent pics of Karma's work. Can people post these please?

Many thanks
