I definitely DISAGREE with not buying a copy! Some replicas turn out better than the original. The original designers will not cater to everyone and every budget. Imitation is the best flattery for them. They have a small and affluent clientele which wears the clothes of the designers as a social and status symbol. Some of us wear lawn suits by Sana Safinaz and Asim Jofa for that reason.

I disagree a bit with the bold part. The replicas that turn out better than the originals typically aren’t straight “replicas” (and don’t claim to be) but are more along the lines of inspired by the original design. These are beautiful and have impeccable attention to detail and are well made. The quality and attention to detail is such that they stand on their own merit, independent of the original design. I would place @prototype’s work in that category (from what I’ve seen of her work on here). One cannot compare this type of work with dressmakers whose primary goal is simply to “copy” a design, regardless of quality, as seems to be the case with the woman @Mahreen Anjam dealt with.
