My experience with Noorz Boutique - Online vendor from Lahore

I have been in touch with many online vendors during my wedding shopping last year. Noorz Boutique was one of the first few vendors i had contacted for a designer suit replica.

My sister had just bought an Heritage suit for £350 and i wanted the same for less. Noorz quoted £144 (with delivery and western union charge) for the same producted. I believed it was a bargain and went ahead with the order and since then i have stuck to her services for 3 additionals orders.

Please have a look at the pictures of my orders and read my review on her quotes, quality of work and customer services below.

The first order - Heritage copy, i showed her real pictures of the orignal dress :

I am extremely happy with this dress, the crinkle chiffon used is perfect to support the heavy embroidery.

Second order - Thread and motif replica, i showed picture of from Thread and Motif website :

The dress is even better than the real Thread and Motif as the thread embroidery is stronger. Overall fitting is good , however the dori that links the gown has been placed too low in my opinion and it lookes awkard on my body shape. Not the vendor’s fault really.

Third order - a suit that she had made for someone else and copied from a picture , i asked for colors to be altered :

The heavy work on the neck is just wow and very solid: No risk of falling stones or loose dubka thread. I was highly impressed when i saw the dress in real. the only issue was that the work was too wide spread and so the dress fitting against my trunk was extremly loose. My measurement should have been considered while sketching the neck embroidery design. It still looked very nice after i pinned it at the back.

**Fourth order **- I designed it myself and she advised me on the fabric and embroidery when needed :

I wanted the dress to have a vintage look with very old type of dubka embroidery and sequence spread with colourful thread embroidery for this design. It was very hard to explain. Noorz is excellent at making copies, but this was a fresh design that i had in mind with no pictures but only poorly drawn sketch on a piece of paper. The material had to be raw silk and i was very nervous on not getting the right fabric. I knew i wanted shoulder embroidery and a jhaal at the bottom of my kameez. Noorz suggested few jhaal design to me. When i received the first few pictures of the making of the dress, i wasnt to keen. Colors looked odd and it wasnt as impressive but she was being very helpful in the designing suggestions Even after completion, the final pictures i received were good, but didnt have that vintage and exclusive look i was after. But, when i finally received the parcel, few days after my marriage and at my in laws place, i must tell you that it turned out to be the best dress out of the four orders ! It has been the most appreciated dress by my relatives. All have praised the ‘vintage’ look and the quality of the work. I still think the dress does not look great in pictures unless taken in good lighting. The raw silk material is divine and sits perfectly on the body.

Quotes/Charges**

1st order = rps 24,000
2nd order = rps 21,500
3rd order = rps 23,500
4rd order = rps 26,000

She is expensive, not doubt, but if you have the money, she is worth it. She doesnt negotiate much and is very strict with her quotes.

**Quality of the work **

Brilliant! No compromises here. Pcitures are sent for fabric color swach, when in work process and after stiching.

Client services A dress is typically ready in 35 days from the day she receives the payment. Payment is 100% in advance so this could put off a lot of new customers or those who wish to order bridals from her. I myself didn’t go ahead with my bridal order because of this 100% advance policy. She keep good and constant contact with the client day and night. Extremely hard working lady! She can appear rude and blunt at times. Maybe she wants to avoid fake promises or she is really not ready to compromise on her quoted prices as she ensure best quality of work. Delivery is made on time. She kindly enquires about feedback after delivery and isn’t too defensive if the feedback is not 100% positive.

So yeah, a good experience overall and Noorz has become a sweet contact of mine. I highly recommend Noorz Boutique for those who can afford her prices.

Re: My experience with Noorz Boutique - Online vendor from Lahore

Re: My experience with Noorz Boutique - Online vendor from Lahore

for me, it worked well. In london, the original was for £170, online form the actual Thread and Motif website ,it was for $220... and havent seen the real one in store, i feel the replica was of better quality

Re: My experience with Noorz Boutique - Online vendor from Lahore

umm.. I am not putting you off your designer and I am glad you loved the quality of replica but just for information of the readers here, TNM has ridiculous prices of stitched dresses online and I have hardly seen anyone buying directly from them. Instead, it is best to get your family/you designer buy the unstitched shirt from them and get it stitched in your custom size by your own tailor/designer. It will always save you loads of $$$ in spite of paying service charges to the designer.

Secondly, about the quality, all TNM originals are made on high quality 60gms chiffon and imported nets while all replicas are made on regular local crinkle chiffon so you can stay assured the quality of the replicas is no way close to the originals. I have seen threadwork of replicas bleed colours but originals never bleed colours mostly.

Hope that helps :)

Re: My experience with Noorz Boutique - Online vendor from Lahore

^^

Agreed, replicas do bleed colours, I have seen someone else's suit (tabah-huwa wah)

I have an original TNM suit (its 5 years old) and still looks brand new, better to have 1-2 good ones, than 5 bad ones

Re: My experience with Noorz Boutique - Online vendor from Lahore

Good to know !! Thanks for sharing

Re: My experience with Noorz Boutique - Online vendor from Lahore
