Need help with Post-wedding Formal

Hi ladies,

I’m asking for your opinion on one of Bunto Kazmi’s designs. I LOVE the colour and placement of the kaam. Thinking of turning this into a formal. I have a couple of questions:

  1. Should I keep tehe sleeves elbow-length or change to 5-inches?
  2. Should I pair this with a shalwar or chooridar?
  3. Should I change the accent colours to the coral seen in the last picture?




Looking forward to your responses.

p.s. the dupatta will be much lighter, mainly with scattered motifs, sequins, and round balls on the edges.

Elbow-length sleeves, with a churidaar.. and i'd keep it the same!

Re: Need help with Post-wedding Formal

I think it would look even more stunning as a formal. Good Choice!

Keep the sleeves elbow-length, pair up with a churidaar in the same colour as the lehnga in the pic and don't change anything else!

agree

Re: Need help with Post-wedding Formal

^ agreed!

Re: Need help with Post-wedding Formal

elbow length sleeves, chooridar, and no other changes IMO.

Re: Need help with Post-wedding Formal

remember to pick out fabric swatches to get the exact shade you want for the kameez and churidar! whomever makes it for you will be able to dye the fabric from your swatches, unless of course you're going to bunto herself, in which case, lucky girl! :)

Re: Need help with Post-wedding Formal

^ lol...SGC I wish I was going to Bunto. You are absolutely right about the fabric swatches.

Thanks ladies...seems like all of you like the original. I will keep it as it is :-)

Re: Need help with Post-wedding Formal

i wouldnt change the colors, keep the sleeves, and pair it with a churidar.

Re: Need help with Post-wedding Formal

^ Thanks Chanda. Will do!

Re: Need help with Post-wedding Formal

I saw the wedding pictures of this bride, and mashAllah mashAllah she looked gorgeous and the dress is soooo pretty! I'm in loveeee
I wish I could afford Bunto :s, I find Karma paling soo much in comparison to her stuff, but then Karma is totally another "genre" of bridal dresses

Re: Need help with Post-wedding Formal

SGC, Saira Ji is Karachi based and has some incredible stuff and you really don’t have to hunt through it. Look here:

naqsa, if you save pics with spaces in the name, the thumbnail will not upload and an ugly ‘x’ will come up. Please save pics without spaces in the names. For eg:

  • Saving the pic as nikah outfit zoomed will result in an an x.

  • The pic will come up if saved as **nikahoutfitzoomed **.

Hope this helps.
