Does anyone have ideas for designers for a white/cream traditional dress with Indian inspired beadin

sarahbomser · January 2012

Hi,

My father is Pakistani and mom is white. Both cultures are important to me but I have always seen myself in a white dress.

Does anyone have suggestions for designers or sites to browse for more of an American style dress but with indian paisley and intricate beading. I don't want much red on the dress although I know it's traditional.

Help!

Try also Sue Wong. She does a lot of gowns with beadings.

that would be my ideal gown! a bit pricy though.

the couture rani one is very close to what I want. I have relatives overseas where I could get something similar made but its so scary paying for something before you see it.

That designer is from India. If you have any relatives in India - I bet that dress is more than half that price there. Maybe find out?

I found this pinterest board (where I saw that dress initially) that have more of what you you like:

This Pinterest board is great. Thank you! If only I had relatives who knew Naeem Khan!

Charmi Creations has fusion gowns that are the prettiest I have seen and they are not really overly priced, I would say about mid-range, but they are only located in London and another in India and they can change the color and smaller stuff on their clothes so you can personalize it since its made to order.

Thanks. I checked them out. Not really my tastes I might have to try and hire a seamstress or something. I dno't want anything crazy but it's just so hard to fnid a nice fusion dress.

That is pretty much what I will do. I actually ended up doing something similar way back in high school for my prom dress. My mother made this out of purple sari fabric. I want a similar vibe but more bridal.
