^ I placed an order for one, Ill let u kno in a cpl weeks how it turns out! :)
Thanks, much appreciated.
BTW, what did you order (flare dress) and who from?
Also, I noticed you have ordered from several different designers. Please let me know which ones you recommend.
Thus far I have ordered from Pehnawa Collection, Kapray Shapray, Kapray Waghera (I don't think she sells stuff anymore), Aleena Samar, Naj Collections, Creationz, Merishopping, Indusmart, Bargello, Satya Paul, and Ritu Kumar.
I ordered from 2 other FB sellers last year, but did not care for the material used so I removed them from my connections and can no longer remember who they are.
I really liked the kaam (very good materials used) and attention to detail by Pehnawa Collection. Obviously, Kapray Shapray (Prototype) is good and seems to be a favorite here. My first purchases were from Kapray Waghera and the first 3 outfits she made were amazing, the next four were pretty bad (mostly the tailoring but the kaam was lacking as well- she changed tailors and the second tailor was horrendous) and 3 of the 4 outfits are not wearable. I liked my outfit from Merishopping for the most part, but after your experience I am not likely to order from them again. Of the two outfits I ordered from IndusMart one looked exactly like the pic, and the other just did not sit right (also the kaam on this one was nothing great)- was very disappointed because I so wanted the second one to turn out right. For the outfit that looked the same as the pic the capri pants were made too tight so I couldn't fit my calves through them. To their credit both Kapray Waghera and IndusMart offered to resolve the issues by fixing the outfits.
I haven't received my stuff from Aleena Samar, Naj Collections, or Creationz yet- so I no opinion of them yet.
I highly recommend Kapray Shapray…I ordered from Merishopping, and it was not a pretty experience!
I have also ordered from Cyma, but I havent recieved my clothes yet…but the pics she sent me looked nice.
The flare dress Im waiting on is from a FB seller, Nadyas Visage. I liked her replicas…
Let me kno what you think of Aleena, I liked her kaamdani suits and was debating on those…
I’ll post pics of my outfits once I get around to taking pics and once I hit 25 comments

BTW, below is my outfit from Pehnawa Collection. The first pic is of the outfit by the original designer and the second and third pics are of the actual replicated outfit modelled by some model (before it was sent to me).
When I take my own pics I’ll post pics of the pants (which look exactly like the original pic) and the dupatta (also very nice):

I paid around $275 (I think). But a very strange thing just happened. I was offered a friend request from Maisha Creationz an hour ago which I accepted and lo and behold she has the very same pics and she actually posted them before Pehnawa Collection did.
Since I have the exact same outfit and Summaiyya Nawaz (Pehnawa collections) is located in the US, I thought maybe they used the same person to make the actual dress.
I asked Maisha Creationz if this was the case- she said it was not, and that Summaiyya just copied her pics. I thought it was strange they would have the exact same replica if it were made by two different people (the same kaam, the same fabrics, etc) but she said all replicas would be the same; just a matter of pricing. I know that is not the case because I have seen other people's version of this dress and they are not the same.
Anyway I don't know how to reconcile the fact that she has had these pics first with the fact that I have seen at least three of the replicated outfits on Summaiyya Nawaz (Pehnawa Collection) page as well. I have seen the three a long time ago on Summaiyya's site but they were not on models. In fact, on her wall, people who ordered the dresses shown commented on how much they liked it.
