What did you do with your wedding lehnga?

Lifestyle Relationships

My husband can use his sherwani as speciel parties but for me it can be so heavy to carry my wedding lehnga.

I really love my lehnga and I want to wear it again. Even though we had a wonderful weedding day it was still a bit stressing day so I want to wear it on day that I can really lay back and not stress and just enjoy my lehnga:D

The amount of money people spend on that, maybe you should just FRAME it and put it in your bedroom, it will bring back good memories whenever you see it and at the same time, you don't have to wear it again:D

I loved my walima lengha - it was the most prettiest dress in the world and because it had so much netting underneath the actual lengha, i cant wear it to someone's wedding as it'll look too odd.

I was jst thinking can we not alter the lengha into a gharara or something? Can the derzi do that?

wow my lengha is packed up into a storage box under my bed :)
It was abeautiful lengha. To be honest I "would" wear it to another wedding/party, toned down of course...but I gained so much weight while pregnant with my son that I no longer fit into it. Inshallah if I lose the weight, than I can wear it to a few weddings. I was thinking maybe to alter and make a new top tats plain to kind of mellow out the heaviness....either that or make a top out of the lengha and make a plainish lengha with it for party wear...not sure. Hmm is it possilbe to alter the lengha?

Actually on 2nd thought, if we truly have no use for it, maybe we can donate it to someone in pakistan. esp some families aren't able to afford lenghas and things for their daughter's wedding. Wearing it for just a few hours, its just as new. Hmm I like that idea.

Is Ajmal Watta?

I've heard ofa thing where ppl will give out their lenghas for rent here...for brides who can't find something of their liking or dont want to spend so much money or can't afford it...some women will rent out their wedding dresses. it sounds like a good idea, but I dont know if i cud ever part w/ my lengha.... rioght now it has too much sentimental value to it for me

How about getting a simple top/kameez with it to balance out the heavy work?!?. That is if the top is heavy if not than ....hmm you can alwayz wear it n special occaisions like yr wedding aniversay or weddng of sum1 close...just go easy on the jewellery n it wont luk odd.

Re: What did you do with your wedding lehnga?

that's really not a bad idea at all. you're never gonna wear it again anyways (and if you are, maybe once or twice)..and it'll come in use for someone that really could take advantage of it.

now i'm wondering if there's any organization out there where we could do that.

Re: What did you do with your wedding lehnga?

Honestly I don't know of any organizations though, but do you have family back in pakistan? I usually send my good outfits that I can't wear to my in-laws and they give them out thru local masjid in Pindi. My husband did some charity work when he was there so he knew several families in need, but typically if you know someone back home, you can send it to them and then they can give it to the needy

Re: What did you do with your wedding lehnga?

i actually don't have any close family members back home, so it makes it more difficult to get in contact with people/organizations that could clothes like these.

i actually wouldn't even mind if there was some here, that's less fortunate, who i'd be willing to pass on the lengha to. i wonder if they'd turn their nose up at it though?

Most girls don,t want used stuff for their special day..unless they are back home or come from needy families.

Re: What did you do with your wedding lehnga?

my both lehngas were too heavy and very pretty. but walima's top was lill much loose, and barat's one was very skin tight. this barat wala lehnga i wore at my elder bros wedding which was held after 4 months of my wedding.and the loose one i will wear at my second bro's marriage after 2-3 years inshaAllah. i dont feel odd to wear these heavy dresses becoz i know their worth and cost.

when i will get bore of these dresses i will use these in patchwork of some bed cover with the help of my one aunt who do very well with these type of problems.

dont make gararas or aything else, coz maybe u will get the proper look that u want and after this struggle a point will be also there ''that u have wore the old dress''
