Re: Manchester-where to shop?

je roche is good, theres also a new shop next delhi sweet centre thats got lots of designer stuff. then theres alankar wich is more indian styles. and colours is also good. avoid anand fashions as they have **** stuff. also there is a place in cheetham hill called sai fashions, they have some nice bridal stuff and you can banter on price. also imani studio had some ABSOLUTELY beautiful lehengas!! but they are quite pricey as they have original designer stuff!!

So far I know of Imani, je roche and burooj. I Love the bridals of Mehdi and Sana Safinaz...not always the prices lol are my expectations too high to find something of the like in Manc? Obv Imani stock Mehdi.

Re: Manchester-where to shop?

i went imani a few weeks back and some of the bridals were AMAZING!! but yh he was quoting like £3000-£5000 for each. i think u cud find summat nice there. he also had alot of books n was saying u could choose any of the designs and he would get em made. from the designers themselves not replicas. burooj! thats the one nxt to delhi sweet centre! yh i havnt been there much but she also stocks paki designers so i think u got a fare chance of finding something nice. sai fasion and alankar do alot more indian style lehengas but are worth a look around. also i think colours is good too! deffo check them out. theyre also on wimslow road!

Where abouts are you?
if near manny then check out poshaak (blackburn) they have very pretty lengha's.

I would also try bradford a friend got their lenghas from there ( white abbey road )
and i would defo recommend pakistani bazaar killingham rd ( check spelling? )
we got our outfits for my sisters wedding from there and their jewellery was woooahhh

Re: Manchester-where to shop?

imani is really good but expensive. Alankar is great for indian type dresses (as pointed out before). when is the big day?

[goodgirlafia]

Re: Manchester-where to shop?

There is also a Burooj on Beresford road - next to a cash and carry (not too far from wilmslow road). YOu can also try some shops on A6 (Stockport road)!

Re: Manchester-where to shop?

Aaliyah...i also wanted a Sana Safinaz type lengha...and i have nearly completed my order with Burooj, u will need to make an appointment and go upstairs and see their bridals, there prices start from around £1400.

Je Roche has gorgeous stuff as well.

Do not go Sai fashions, Alankar...you will hate it, its very indian, blingy heavy, fish taily stuff.

Imani are good, but the lenghas i saw were the same ones they had 5 years ago.

[Aaliyah1]

I def plan on making an app with burooj. Aw that's so exciting that your outfit is nearly complete! How has your experience been with them?

Re: Manchester-where to shop?

I agree with S girl - Alankar and Sai - it is very Indian. I think there is a show coming to Manchester early next year end jan/feb? - I had seen their ads on wilmslow road. It might be a good place to see if anyone shows any exciting dresses there.
