^ haha how cute.. well do formals then! id rather take u to pfdc than karma though...
and STILL: never a karma wedding dress for me.. i'd rather get something made from the adda. It's not that i necessarily hate them.. but they are super common here, real and rip offs. Plus i like intricate stuff like sana safinaz, thats where my bridals coming from...
soooo overpriced, wow! its definitely special pricing for overseas clients, which is ridiculous, but maybe they're struggling and need the cash. i dont know... i love karma and i've loved everything they've done so far, but their latest collection was a HUGE disappointment.
Hate to break it to you girls, but the prices seem representative of the ones I was given at 'The Designers' in Karachi, except for a couple of the bridals which are way overpriced (probably because they're quite popular).
I guess it would come down to some hard core bargaining on the clients part to get a decent discount.
hey gals any one of you hav close up pics of following karma bridal.....Plz post
ZEENAT-MAHAL-BRIDAL gharara
^^^ this bridal has been worn by several brides in the BRIDAL PICS thread. I just saw a bride who wore this and she looked really pretty (sorry cant post the pixx.....)...

Ive noticed that designers absolutely love giving u high quotes Ziggy hehheheh--Nomi, Karma...etc
Parkha Zeb e-mailed me the quotes.......and yes they were less than the website
Sumorani - The prices they're qouting on the website are more or less what I saw on their price tags for Karma outfits. I noticed their prices had generally risen...
YEAH I KNOW! they are big oppurtunist i guess...
as for my cousin's its not online... it has almost like half moon things going on... and i was there with her on her second appointment and it was 1 lakh.
then the other cousin i am talking about, she actually got the dress for her bhabhi to wear on her walima. it was ivory with dull godl and silver work.. like a full shirt and a heavy lehnga and all the works.. again 1 lakh.
then the friend who just got married.. she was wearing a new karma bridal which i have never seen online..
sorry ppl cant post pics they might have issues...
i guess online enquiries are potential rip offs.. lol sitting so far away they can charge u i guess...
its wise to come down here.. talk to them haggle a bit over the price...
Another cousin of mine got married 3 years ago.. she went to hsy .. he quoted her 2.5 lakhs for a dress. the dress btw was amazing work EVERYWHERE! awesome.. she found it two expensive went looking around other designers.. but decided she loves tht one...
Next time she went to order and asked the price AND he said 1 lakh ?!??!!? i know right!
but thats the fact.
These dresses in COST terms cost no more than 30-40 thousand MAX! so i guess its upto the designer to charge however much they want.. or rather however much discount they wanna give...
