1. Most karigaar’s/kaam walay can’t replicate the kind of work in the original.
2. The one’s that can will charge for it. Even with your adjustments, you’ve still got a duputta border of 2" wide all around and a lot of work on the dress bottom half which has significant ghair.

Therefore, you’d be looking to pay towards 1lakh (possibly over) for a good replica. I get the feeling you were not quoted in that range. No problem if vendor’s are quoting in a lower price bracket but then they should be clear about the kind of kaam that will be done in that price.

There’s just too much dabka in the copy which wasn’t there in the original. The original work isn’t even that silverish. It has off-white, pinky biege and a lot of crystals.

1L was never my budget…if I was ever quoted that much, I would have backed out. Am no bride, I wanted to wear it for my cousin’s wedding. I was quoted way less than 1L but I would have appreciated if I was told that the work wont be similar to the original.
