my sister's shopping experiance

my sister went to karachi for her wedding shopping in June and i would like to share it with you all

for bridal. she really wanted a nomi ansari bridal . she booked an appointment with him and went to check it..he was very rude and plus his attitude was too much. his dresses start from 3 lakhs to 5 lakhs but its not worth wat he is charging . my sister didnt order from him because he refuse to make some changes in the dress and plus she didnt like his nasty comments. but yea she said his party wear are really nice but then again its too expensive . party wear starts from 80 k

she also checked hsy, karma, ayesha versey and zainab sajid. she finally decide to order her dress from ayesha versey. her husband took the order and is taking care of it.

she said zainab sajid was also very polite but then my sister didnt like anything from her collection

for walima and mehindi , she order it from plk . she also ordered some party wear from plk, jabeen and shakeel at tariq road . she also bought some ready made dresses from random boutiques on tariq road

jabeen and plk are 2 of the best boutique for bridal..if you cant afford a designer dress then you must check out these 2.

also order some dresses from kehkashan and gulf

for jewellery. gold is too expensive these days. 1 tolla is around 58 000 and with making its around 70,000. she ordered a set from tissori and for walima she ordered a artificial set from gulf.

she got most of her jewellery from gulf and tariq centre.

kaliyon walay dresses are in fashion these days…they look nice but the stitching is too expensive. shiffon sleeves with lawn cotton suits are also in these days. kameez are still long.

for those who will be doing their shopping in karachi. just make sure that karigars, designers takes a long time. at least 3-4 months and because of the current situaltion they might take longer.

Re: my sister's shopping experiance

Really?

i emailed nomi ansari (obviously it was someone who looks after his sales) and i got a really good response, they were very helpful and i wanted to make some changes and they said the wouldnt charge extra as i wasnt really making any big changes! i was also quoted some formals at 65,000 RS but im sorry to hear he was rude :(

thanks for the review!! :)

Re: my sister's shopping experiance

he did my SIL's bridal- he was pretty rude with her too- but i gotta say, its the prettiest bridal jora! beautiful colors and exquisite kaam. he did a custom jora for her from a sketch he drew. worth all that attitude, if you ask me.

Re: my sister's shopping experiance

how much did he charge your SIL? did she try to bargain?

my sister liked 1 dress which he quote 4 lakhs.. the dupatta and garara didnt had much work .. just the kameez was full of work. she ask for a little discount and he got angry and said. i am not a karigar , if you want a cheap and pindoo type dress then go to a karigar intead of wasting my time.
