Memoona Manan

Re: Memoona Manan

friend of mine got her bridal outfit from rouge. it was breathtaking. the kaam was exquisite.
hsy's HO has absolute stunners, the quality of kaam is divine.
the service however was a nightmare. my bridal was 6 weeks late! pure torture for such an important event.

you might want to check out nickie and nina as well. the quality of work that i saw for the bridals at their home/studio was beautiful but the choice was VERY limited. there was not very many options. their branch on mm alam road had some super gaudy shalwar kamizes as well as some uber hot ones.

Re: Memoona Manan

Gina - Many thanks sweetie for the additional names - I completely forgot about Kami, Ahsan and Fahad!

You're probably right about the manan's; Faraz seems very approachable over the phone. I just hope they have some hot samples to show!

Re: Memoona Manan

Bride2be - You along with Gina have now definitely got me thinking about Rouge - I trust you fashionista judgement!

You've also confirmed my nightmare about HSY - I just can't stand late deliveries, especially if you have an urgent need to attend a function!

Nickie and Nina was at the back of my mind. I've been to their outlet in Karachi which was pretty limited with mostly bland stock. It was only when the duo would visit Karachi to meet clients would they bring that occasional stunning outfit.

^ DO NOT forget to visit Saadia Mirza for formal outfits..i'd drop lajwanti..bege's.. (as much as I know by u're taste) But Memoona Manan, N&N, Saadia Mirza.. Fahad and Ahsan!

i guess she is related to maroof family, they live next to shakeela aunty right infront of nasim uncle...i suppose

Re: Memoona Manan

Ziggy Bege's is meant to be really good, she is a pioneer in the industry for modern clothes (and notoriously expensive). Mehdi is also supposed to be good.

Re: Memoona Manan

Oh my gosh, how could I forget Saadia Mirza - Thanks Gina! You probably know me better than myself :)

Thanks for the suggestion Jubjub, but I'm not really a fan of Bege's work - I'm not entirely sure why she's so expensive considering the outfits i've seen in magazines. There's nothing alluring about her work...

Mehdi on the other hand might be worth a visit.

hain? yeh sab kaun hai....lol!

Re: Memoona Manan

I wanted to write Mehdi but i am sorrie his service sucks bigtime. I have been promoting him literally lol for about 3-4 years but his service has gotten crappy now so ya :(. But he is a sweetheart :).

I left-out Bege's since im not really a fan of her work!

Mehdi
Karma
Saadia Mirza
Nilofer Shahid
Faiza Samee
N&N
Fahad
Ahsan

what's wrong with their service?

Re: Memoona Manan

anarkali rang mahal icchra all the way... :@:

well i got my dress but there were alterations issues n they have not yet gotten resolved lol it was like abt 2 yrs back so u can imagine....i just picked up the dress n waiting one day mehdi would wake up and give me a call lol which he has promised since last few months but he always get catch up with something cuz this time i told him either he is coming to see what the heck is wrong with the fitting or i am not getting it done from his assistants.

Re: Memoona Manan

how much a normal tailor charge for alterations :chai:

Re: Memoona Manan

^ its not the same thing....a designer outfit altered by a normal trailer? that wud be ruining your outfit.

so

Re: Memoona Manan

Maham you should always try stuff when u pick it up so that alteration can be done immedinately

There's nothing "immediate" for Pakistani tailors or designers.. my last year Eid dress is still with my tailor to get the seams over-locked!

Sad? I agree!

^wow! that really sucks.

Re: Memoona Manan

my cuz says bege will do the alterations on the spot when you go to pick up your clothes, but if you go home and then bring them back she will take a long long time

Re: Memoona Manan

my cousin has ordered a bridal dress from rouge (reddish peach with green).
