Unfortunately, I do not have before or after pics yet, but I did want to share my experience with pakifairy thus far.
Initially my in-laws were designing an outfit for me based on a Memoona Manan piece that I fell in love with. I only had eyes for this outfit. All was well, the boutique owner was a nice woman to work with and although I had only seen a small sample of her bridal work, we put our trust in her. She was and still is, a great lady. She was getting the outfit made by a designer in India and sort of served as our go-between.
Unfortunately, our vision was very different than the actual designer and karigaars in India. Part of the problem was that I wanted to take a Pakistani designer's outfit and get it copied by an Indian karigaar. When I received the sample I was underwhelmed; it wasn't horrible but it wasn't what I wanted either.
I had not heard of GupShup when I initially placed my order for the outfit made in India. But after I received the kaam sample, I knew I had to look elsewhere for a new designer. What was most important to me was to get a Pakistani designer, the quality of work and the fabric is just so much better! The first thing I did was reach out to three GS designers.
I wanted five things from my new designer:
1. Great quality and the detailed pictures to prove it.
2. Excellent customer service. Good follow up time and answers to my questions. I HAD to be involved throughout the entire process.
3. A price tag that was comparable to the quality of work. Yes, I wanted to pay a reasonable price, but I didn't want to pay $500 for a suit that clearly costs $2000. That would mean a sacrifice in the quality.
4. Experience in bridal wear and again, the pictures to prove it.
5. Quick turnaround (my wedding is two months away! And due to the mishap with the old designer, we are running out of time).
So far pakifairy has met each of these requirements with flying colors. She showed me many, many pictures of her designers work, both bridal and formal. Actually, the work that her designer does was so gorgeous that it made me change my mind about the Memoona Manan outfit that I was so in love with. I ended up picking an outfit that pakifairy's designer had created for someone else.
She is very responsive, answers all my questions and has so far fulflled my every request. She was also a bride not to long ago, so she has empathy for my situation. She has even promised to get this heavily embroidered outfit to me in less than five weeks.
At this point, I am still waiting on approval from my fiance's side of the family. Inshallah, everything will work out and we will be able to proceed. This is all thanks to the effort and quality pakifairy has demonstrated. I look forward to working with her and updating the GS community with our progress.
Thanks PF!!!
