I live in Los Angeles and was marrying someone who's family is from Pakistan. With the desire to incorporate some of his traditions, I sought a dressmaker who is familiar with the culture. I looked around for in-person shops here in Los Angeles, but knew nothing could be as good as getting a dress made in Pakistan. I chose a deep red, fully beaded dress. The process was pretty easy. I took my measurements, and they sent me a "dummy" dress. This way, you can make any changes before the final dress is cut. And it's an important part of the process for me as I was unable to try on a dress in person.
Communication via WhatsApp was great. They were always willing to work with my requests. They even made a red dupatta, that matched my dress, for my maid of honor at the last minute so she stood out. I received so many compliments about this dress. The dupatta was amazingly beautiful. It is truly a work of art. And well worth the money. Great prices, great process, and lots of variety to choose from. I will say, the dress was very heavy, but I was able to manage myself in it. I'm taller and the weight was manageable. Well worth it!! read more
