Re: What's everyone wearing for Eid
I duno, leaving it upto mum to surprise me with something fab.
Im not liking the fashion in pak currently and its like everyones wearing it not thinking whether it'll look good on 'em or not and on most it doesnt.
3/4 or sometimes normal length straight pants with kameez with high neck galas. Ugh !!! So unfeminine !!
^ Yeah girl, b original like me, wear a lunghi! I got several designs u know, shall i send u one??? :p
Re: What's everyone wearing for Eid
watz a lunghi????????????any pics of them???????
I am getting it made through my tailor in Pakistan. I am based in the US but I email him and talk to him over the phone regarding the fabric I want and any changes etc. Eg in this one I want the shirt color 2 shades lighter than the one shown.
Are you getting all of these clothes made or are going to decide from amnong these? I like both black ones and the purplish one.
Actually yes i an having all of the above made, the thing is that i don't usually order clothes, and I haven't for a long time, the last time I got clothes was when my mil brought some from Pak. ad althogh they were not bad, and some very nice, the measurements were totally off, which was not her fault, just I had lost some weight, and they were ot aware of it, so I gave a lot of those outfits away. So ow in the beginning of the summer, there were a lot of weddings coming up, so my husband said i could order clothes myself. i like this way, atleast I have control over what I am buying. So I got some for the weddings, but as Ramadan coming up, I needed some semi-formal/casual clothes so i got these made.
I also got some Lawn outfits. May seem a lot, but I look for bargains, i liek the designer stuff, but can't bring myself to buy those outfits for those prices, so i do a lot of research and looking efore making my mind.
Also I think one should also ocassionally check whats on e-bay, sometimes you'll be surprised you can find some excellent buys.
Thanks pakifairy! what are you wearing?

I have bought on ebay before. With the exception of one, the others were tighter than what was advertised, I made do somehow but---. But still its a good way to buy stuff for us desis.
Re: What's everyone wearing for Eid
I wore a black saree with silver/gold kaam the day after my nikkah and noone had any problems with it except my tayee who haw haw-ed over it asking why I couldn't wear something else. I say you go for it PF, black is gorgeous! I am wearing a black gharara to a wedding this weekend and I hope people don't start saying stuff to me :)

I love black and wear it to weddings etc as well. I hate it when people have those old fashioned ideas related to color, but since they are our elders, its hard to say anything. I remeber on my son's aqiqah I wore a small elegant jewelry set and my in laws were all-- wear something "bigger"!!
Re: What's everyone wearing for Eid
hahaha yeah, thats so common, they think you're robbed or out of money/gold if you show up not decked in gold.
