Can someone please advice me on where I could find or have made the long kameez bridal lenghas (Pakistani style)
Like the one below
Re: Where to find Long Kameez bridal lenghas in the U.K?
It is difficult to find them on display in UK since most boutiques order and have indian lehngas
or order from India. And this is a pakistani trend i think.. the best thing to do is order online from one of d designers
or show a pic like this to one of the local boutiques.
Good Luck!

It depends on how much you’re willing to spend. Onitaa in london near baker street do long kameez lehnga’s like these:
they are nickie nina designs, onitaa are official stockists. But they’re quite pricey £2000+
You could also try imani studio in manchester, they stock HSY, Nickie Nina, Maria B and Yasmeen Jiwa. This is one of the long kameez lehnga’s they have:

But again, they are also pricey. You can email them for a quote.
Other than that you could try Green Street in London, they tend to have more Pakistani style clothing than Southall. Or I am assuming Leicester, Manchester and Bradford would probably have long kameez lehnga’s. Its much easier to travel around the cities within the UK than to travel to Pakistan, so do have a look around.
I personally don’t like the long kameez lengha trend as it hides the beauty of the lengha but to each their own right? Good luck with your search for your outfit!

I think most of the indian bridal wear stores will be able to make you a longer length kameez now especially as this trend has been seen in a few bollywood movies and on the catwalk recently. also, it will be a lot cheaper than ordering from apne pakistani designers as they charge a fortune!!
Re: Where to find Long Kameez bridal lenghas in the U.K?
I went to NYC a couple months ago, looking for long kameez with lengha and they acted like I was on drugs when I asked for them. These were Indian boutiques all over Jackson Heights. I know that I could have mentioned Kareena's dress in 3 idiots for reference, but can you mention what other hindi movies have long kameez bridals?? It would help tremendously!
Re: Where to find Long Kameez bridal lenghas in the U.K?
DONT COME TO BRADFORD!!!!!!!!!! you wont anything here about but pendu designs. trust me, i live here!!!
Re: Where to find Long Kameez bridal lenghas in the U.K?
Can anyone please recommend any place is London where I can find long, flared semi-formal dresses?
I found nothing in Southall...or maybe I dont know where I should be looking!!
Is there anything on Green Street OR Illford lane?
Re: Where to find Long Kameez bridal lenghas in the U.K?
I bought long kameez semi formal dress from Punjab Textiles on broadway on saturday, their all on sale from £40. Go to gul style (in Ilford) for long kameez bridal, he has loads to choose from and its all made to measure. Dont bother goin to Leicester, theres nothing there. x
Re: Where to find Long Kameez bridal lenghas in the U.K?
Aww thank you ladies, this is brilliant help. Atleast I know where to go now, which is a good start.
Thank you MQ for the links, great help.
Its a shame mainly in the U.K you see the fishtail lenghas and the corset style tops, Im fed up of that style. Everyone I know has gone for that, thats you the long kameez style something unique and the long sleeves for me I feel they add to the elegance.
Funky Chicken, thanks for the advice I wont bother wasting my time coming to Bradford.
But Ilford and Manchester and Onitaa (Off baker Street) is the places I would be heading. Thanks again :) xxx

Do go to Imani Studio. They have an excellent collection there.
Re: Where to find Long Kameez bridal lenghas in the U.K?
Maria B’s latest Autumn/Winter Collection will be on display in Manchester & London soon. Here are the details:
Re: Where to find Long Kameez bridal lenghas in the U.K?
I've noticed that too, there's barely any nice Pakistani boutiques in the UK. Many of those that claim to be Pakistani, are in fact imported from India etc.. sad face But, good luck finding a nice outfit, i'd go to Imani in Manchester, if you want a nice Pakistani designer outfit.
Re: Where to find Long Kameez bridal lenghas in the U.K?
You could also get one made from Raishma in Green St, London
Re: Where to find Long Kameez bridal lenghas in the U.K?
Hey, i’ve been buying mine from ladies selling privately from home (outfits come from Pak) These have been great!!
It may be worth asking around to see if anyone near you may be doing the same.. otherwise, i found some in Imani’s on Ilford Lane, and mehndi on Green street - good luck!
Oh, just remembered, Unze now do a clothing line - try: http://www.unze.co.uk/Women-Clothes.html
