I really need some help please. My wedding is i 3 weeks and I have no dress!!! I am going to Pakistan a week before the wedding so I won’t have time to find a dress. My mom is going to Pakistan next week so she will have 3 weeks to get me a dress. The thing is, I don’t trust her choice. She always ends up getting me something paindoo. I want a classic wedding gharara that will never go out of fashion. I don’t have much time so designer dress is out of the question. I know I need to look into ready made dresses but I am not familar with Pakistan shops so please suggest some some shops in Islamabad and Lahore where I can send my mom and be sure that she won’t get a paindoo dress.
Also, if anyone is selling their bridal dress then please tell me. I don’t mind wearing a used dress as long as it’s pretty.
Hit up these shops, plus there is a thread on getting an inexpensive bridal dress. Buy a ready-made and get it tailored
On M M Alam Rd you have Needle Impressions, Threads & Motifs, and Maria B near Generation (for semi/formals)
Dupatta Gali at the back of Liberty Market has shops where if you bring in designs, they'll work with you
Think Pink in the Liberty Market
10 Q ( Hussain Chowk)
Ali Zari house has ready made unstitched lehngas.
Also there is a store called Jhalak...I heard they have reasonable prices for bridal wear. and you can always go to Anarkali bazar
I saw a thread a while back....someone was selling their bridal outfit. Do a search for it.
hope this helps!
I suggest you choose your own dress when you get there instead of getting your mum to choose one for you. Even in a week I'm sure you could get one. Pay the tailor some extra money to have it done asap.
ThAmos girls. My mom apparently knows about fashion ghar? I wrote down the rest of the places for her too. I got a saree from mohsins n my moms wedding dress was from there so I'll def ask her to go there. I have also asked her to check out karma but apparently that was the first place my uncle looked at when we told him to check out some places, and he didn't like their dresses one bit :s. She will check it out herself though. I also told her about sublime by Sara so let's hope she is able to find something.
Madonahme, I won't have time to check out dresses. 2 days after I land in pak is my mehendi and I still need to get chooriya and a clutch from there :(
