My mom has a beautiful chatta patti gharara and heavy gold worked dupatta that she had handmade for me years ago in Lucknow. I’m looking at different designers now for my bridal, and I just realized that because prices are SO high, it might work out better to use the gharara and dupatta as a base.
Here’s a question - do bigger name designers ever take something existing? I’d want to add some color/kaam to the dupatta and get a heavy worked shirt, and I’d be will to pay like 300,000. But do you think designers are open to doing that? Or do they have to make your full jora
I have heard Bunto Kazmi and Ali Xeeshan do it I don't know about the rest.
Thank you! Bunto is going to be out of my range even though she is so classy it doesn't surprise me that she does it - I'd like to spend less than I mentioned if possible - but I was thinking maybe Sania Maskatiya, Farah Talib Aziz, etc. Just didn't know if some designers don't like it
Most of the designers, including myself, love to create bridals with classic pieces. Most of the girls love to use their mother's shadi jora nowadays. One can always incorporate it in a wedding jora and with little creativity turn it into a classic jora.
