omggg mum had the same fabric in shrara for her wedding and she gave it to me and i made it in too chiridaar for my mehndi and it looks awsome mashAllah se
except for the saris and ghararas....all were bought from dallas..i didnt go to pakistan... :)
saris are from india...

its costing around 15000 rupees to do the work..stiching is 3000 rupees..
Gosh, you must be kidding..Here, in Canada, at least whereever I've checked, they sell the worst kind of cloths one can imagine...It's so unbelievable that such a great variety of outfits available there..I loved all of them..

thanks everyone....i ll be sending them to pakistan..to have them made..but 3-4 at a time..i dont want them to lose or misplace my material..that will be just terrible...!!
love the firozi sari chanda. And the Kundan you mentioned, is it the one in karachi or did you get it from India. A married student of mine suggested I go to Kundan ( they have a branch near Metropole Hotel and another at Zamzama) if I need good saris. So guess I'll be paying a visit there soon.
I love chiffon and we have a couple of relatively new shops selling gorgeous embroidered chiffons and georgetts here. They are a bit pricey though but the kaam is really worth it.
chunda_kh,

these are all very pretty fabrics for formal wear. really nice color choice and especially the ones with gotakinari on it.
best,
hwo much did it cost you altogether?

thanks dushwari!! i cant shop without mom though... :)
well...not sure how much altogether...but the fancy fabric (laces etc)runs from $150-$300 and do go up to $500 per yard...depending on the heaviness of the kaam..
saris are anywhere from $200-$800..
zari fabric is around $80-$150 per yard
