I ordered a replica (straight kameez) of this dress:
and this is the picture of the replica that I was sent:
The replica doesn’t look anything like the original to me. What do you think?
Re: Please critique this replica!
Who made it and how much did you pay for it? Did you ask for the extra small motifs all over the replica shirt?
The gala design is terrible. Im not an expert but i don't like it, especially if it was supposed to be like the top picture
Re: Please critique this replica!
Did you request for any modifications other than changing the style like fabric and color? Also, price is one of the main factors when replicating a dress. Color is a bit off compared to the original but that’s probably because the original is silk but i cannot figure out the fabric of the replica.
Re: Please critique this replica!
If you paid under rs5000, then it's understandable

Not really, if we just look at the shirt and not compare it to the original, this wouldn't cost PKR 5000. Assuming its a three piece, it would be around 12-15k (depends on fabric and other details. Picture isn't too clear to give a correct estimate so I could be wrong)
Re: Please critique this replica!
Bajiphoopi, if you could edit your post and include details about changes you requested,that would be more fair instead of putting up an unedited heavy designer anarkali dress picture as opposed to the edited one you sent me.
Here is the picture you sent and details you requested:
the fabric used is pure 80 gm embossed silk for shirt, pure raw silk pants and a pure silk chiffon dupatta. Kaam is like you see in the picture, spray added on the front of the shirt and on dupatta. Price agreed was 17000rs.

^^ that helps!
Bajiphoopi, if proto is the one making it for you, i can vouch for you that the kameez must be nice. I have ordered many kaam walay kapre from her, and never been disappointed with the quiality of the kaamor fabric... albeit, the pic is terrible
Proto- Get yourself a better camera
Re: Please critique this replica!
I'll put up pictures taken with camera& in better light later today here too IA

You may also want to get a mannequin. The clothes will flow more naturally and photograph better.

Re: Please critique this replica!
Very reasonable price and looking really nice
Re: Please critique this replica!
Even though the replica looks nice, but why is the Gala design of the replica different as the original. See my badly drawn graphic. This was the first thing that my eyes noticed.
Re: Please critique this replica!
^ thanks saadia,
so adding kaam motifs on sides like sketched in red is one step. and ?
Re: Please critique this replica!
I think gala is bit different n it's actually looking nice since there is spray on shirt.
Re: Please critique this replica!
that is if the customer whats the extra kaam motifs on the neck. If you dont look at the original, then the replica is complete and doesnt need anymore kaam.
But then the original shirt kaam is crap, the design on the neck and the damaan doesnt match, thats why the kaam wala made the gala the way he did.
Re: Please critique this replica!
ok. Thanks a lot :)
lets see what Baajiphoopi has to say about it.
Re: Please critique this replica!
The colour is different. The outfit certainly looks different. However baji phoophi it is hard to replicate a dress. If you aren't happy you should've done some research before to see the tupe of kaam proto does before ordering.
