Re: Lengha shopping in London - please HELP!!!
I’ve heard from a friend of mine that cbazaar ( http://www.cbazaar.com/ ) is a good online shop. She also told me that they have a shop in London. I will ask her if she knows other good stores in Green street. Will let you know soon 
Re: Lengha shopping in London - please HELP!!!
OMG there are lots of shops!!!
if you want on the budget , punjab textiles in southall .. you can haggle with them! My cousin bought her wedding lengha for £1285 ... had the kameez re-made as she did not like the original ...
It was beautiful! it had a train , and the most beautiful duppata ever! Basically they can also remake the lengha for you but it depends on timing.
I'm looking at designers in london as i have months to go yet !!
Re: Lengha shopping in London - please HELP!!!

Re: Lengha shopping in London - please HELP!!!
Hello!!
So i have been to Birmingham , Southall and Green st !
I thought i'd post what i think are the best shops and well priced!
Southall- Punjab Textiles
Green st - Bombay looks , Dulhan , Damini's
Birmingham - Khubsoorat by Chand!
Honestly every other shop was just rude. Plain rude , couldnt care less. These above shops do very pakistani styles , they also have manufacturers in pak :D
Re: Lengha shopping in London - please HELP!!!
Hiya, What was Khoobsurat in Birmignham like? Thanks, Styles Price range?
Re: Lengha shopping in London - please HELP!!!
It was quite good! I met chand, who was really friendly and passionate about his clothes. Styles are varied! they like every shop have everything and will make you what ever you like really!
Price wise i think he had off the shelf from £600 going upwards depending on the amount of kaam and type of kaam you need!
Re: Lengha shopping in London - please HELP!!!
Thanks hun, am also looking at Rani Eman wish she had a boutique in London ;-(
Re: Lengha shopping in London - please HELP!!!
don't be stuck on pakistani designers :| , take pictures , or design it HOW you want. I gurantee you will get the most beautiful lengha ever if you just stop thinking ... i wish i got it from a pakistani designer :( ....
truth be told, i have seen more digusting lengha's that girls have bought from pakistan to wear at their wedding. Recently at a wedding the lengha was from pak , it was jamawar lengha, with a heart motif ( or there enough one) . I mean her mum knew lahore inside out , and i dont know where they got that lengha from!! on the other hand, her walima outfit, my gosh STUNNING! and it fit perfectly , it was from london she went and chose it herself too :|
maybe take a rani eman print take it to the shops and get it made ? adjust it how you want to do it!
Re: Lengha shopping in London - please HELP!!!
Thanks hun that really helps, wish we cud stop thinking... IA itll fall into place ;-)

Re: Lengha shopping in London - please HELP!!!
I've ordered my lengha!! yaaaayyyyyyyy!!! Thanks for all your help guys...
I've ordered my lengha from Traditions, in Southall..... Basically totally designed it myself.... it's hot pink, deep purple with royal blue accents.... and VERY bling!! :) :) Inshallah it will turn out exactly how I want it....
THe shop owner was VERY helpful.... practically made him take out every bridal lengha.... he didn't complain once and nor was rude... was VERY nice... (considering i was a pretty annoying customer... haha)
Will have my lengha by mid feb.... still on a diet so he's going to get all the embroidery done now (from India) and will then take my final measurements on first week of feb and then get it stitched. Will then make any final alterations 10 days before my wedding to ensure it fits perfectly....
soooooooooo glad i finally have my outfit sorted!!!
Thanks for all your help guys!!!
Re: Lengha shopping in London - please HELP!!!
...^ ahh, thats great Inaaya,must be sucha relief, your lengha sounds absoloutely stunning!! :)
...all the very best x
