Frequently Asked Questions - Pakistani Bridal & Party Wear

Jabeenz is a specialist Asian and South Asian bridal and occasion wear manufacturer based in Manchester, established in 1975. We design and handcraft bridal lehengas, shararas, ghararas, anarkalis, party wear, maxis, gowns, and formal outfits for every celebration. With nearly 50 years of heritage, every Jabeenz piece is an original creation made with premium fabrics and traditional hand-embroidery techniques.

Jabeenz is a manufacturer, not a reseller. That means original designs, honest pricing with no middlemen, full customisation to your body and vision, and our unique pre-dispatch verification where you see and approve your garment before it ships. Our designer works with you one-to-one using nearly 50 years of experience to create something truly personal. Every outfit is handcrafted to the highest standard using only premium materials from trusted, verified suppliers.

Jabeenz is a proud manufacturer. Every design is created in Manchester by our experienced team and handcrafted by our skilled artisans in Pakistan. We do not resell, stock, or copy other brands. This gives us full control over quality, pricing, and customisation, and it means every piece is a genuine Jabeenz original.

Pricing depends on the design, fabric, and level of embroidery work. Because we are a manufacturer working directly without middlemen, our prices reflect genuine value for the quality and craftsmanship you receive. We are always transparent about costs upfront. Contact us via WhatsApp or visit our showroom for a free consultation and we will give you a clear quote based on your requirements.

For bespoke orders, we recommend starting with a consultation so we can understand your vision and walk you through fabric, design, and sizing options together.

Some items are available to purchase directly online, while bespoke and made-to-order pieces require an enquiry first. The enquiry lets us have a proper conversation about customisation, confirm your measurements, and make sure the outfit is exactly right for you before we begin handcrafting it. It is our way of giving you a personal experience even online.

Amendments can be requested within 24 hours of placing your order. After that window, production will have begun and changes may not be possible. This is why we spend time during the consultation to get every detail just right before work starts.

Yes. We offer a wide range of premium fabrics including rich raw silks, organza, chiffon, velvet, net, jamawar, and cotton silk. You can specify exact colours, and we provide colour matching to coordinate with your event theme or family outfits. If you need to see the fabric before deciding, we can send swatches or close-up photos via WhatsApp.

For customers who can visit, we offer fittings at our Manchester showroom. For those further away, we work from detailed measurements and send progress photos and video calls throughout production. Either way, we make sure the fit is right before dispatch.

Yes. Any design in our collection can be fully customised. That could mean changing the colour, fabric, embroidery style, neckline, sleeve length, or silhouette. Think of our collection as a starting point that we shape entirely around your preferences.

That is completely normal, and many of our happiest customers started with just a vague idea. Our designer works with you one-to-one, listening to your thoughts and drawing on nearly 50 years of experience to guide you through options, show you the best fabrics and past work, and help your vision take shape step by step.

Every order is carefully packaged to protect the fabric, embroidery, and embellishments during transit. Bridal and formal pieces are individually wrapped in acid-free tissue paper and placed in a garment bag within a sturdy shipping box. Dupattas and accessories are packed separately to prevent snagging. For gift orders, let us know at the time of ordering and we will ensure the packaging is suitable.

Our courier will attempt delivery and, if unsuccessful, will leave a card with instructions for redelivery or collection from a local depot. If the parcel is returned to us after a failed delivery, we will contact you to arrange redelivery. You have three weeks from the date we receive the returned parcel to arrange redelivery before a refund is issued.

We accept returns within 14 days of delivery for ready-to-wear items purchased through our website. Items must be unworn, unwashed, and in their original packaging with all tags attached. Bespoke, made-to-order, customised, and sale items cannot be returned. No returns or exchanges on in-store purchases. Contact us via WhatsApp or email with your order number to start a return.

No. Because bespoke garments are made specifically to your measurements and design choices, they cannot be returned or exchanged. We strongly recommend visiting our showroom for a consultation, or sending detailed measurements via WhatsApp before confirming a bespoke order. We also offer multiple fittings during the production process to ensure you are happy before the garment is completed.

Before every dispatch, we send you high-quality photos of the finished garment and offer a WhatsApp video call so you can see the embroidery, colour, fabric, and overall look in detail. You confirm you are happy before paying the remaining balance and before we ship. This process is our commitment to making sure what you receive is exactly what you approved.

If your garment arrives damaged or with a defect, please report it on the same day of delivery by contacting us via WhatsApp or email with photographs of the issue. We will arrange a replacement or full refund including return postage at no cost to you.

For bespoke orders, colour and design changes may be possible during the early stages of production. Contact us to discuss your options.

We do everything possible to make sure you love your outfit before it leaves us. Through our pre-dispatch verification, you see detailed photos and join a video call to inspect the garment up close. You approve the final piece before paying the remaining balance and before we ship. If there is a genuine manufacturing defect, we will cover the cost of return postage and offer a full refund or replacement at no additional cost.

Deposits are non-refundable once production has begun. At that point, premium fabrics have been sourced and skilled artisan work has started specifically for your order. This is why we invest time during the consultation stage to confirm every detail before production begins. You are always fully informed and in agreement before any work starts.

Yes. Every order comes with a detailed receipt covering your design specifications, measurements, agreed timeline, and full payment breakdown. This is sent via WhatsApp and email so you have a clear record of everything.

There are a few easy ways. You can visit our Manchester showroom for professional measuring by our team, use the guided measurement form on our website, or share your measurements directly via WhatsApp. We also have a detailed measurement diagram to help you measure accurately at home. Whatever method you choose, we are here to guide you.

Yes, you can. If you provide your typical UK or international dress size, our team will work from standard sizing charts. However, for the best possible fit, especially for bridal and bespoke orders, we strongly recommend providing detailed body measurements. A great fit makes all the difference.

The key measurements are bust, waist, hip, shoulder width, arm length, and total garment length. For certain designs we may also ask for neckline depth, sleeve style preference, and trouser or sharara length. Our online measurement form walks you through each one step by step.

If your measurements change during the production period, please let us know as soon as possible. Minor adjustments can often be made depending on the stage of production. For bridal orders, we recommend finalising measurements two to three weeks before the estimated completion date.

Yes, we offer alterations on garments originally purchased from Jabeenz. Because we know the construction, fabrics, and techniques used in our own pieces, we can alter them properly and maintain the quality. Please note we do not alter garments purchased elsewhere. Contact us via WhatsApp to discuss what you need.

We take every care to make sure it does. Between precise measurements, our experienced production team, and the pre-dispatch photo and video verification, the vast majority of our customers receive garments that fit beautifully. For local customers, in-person fittings at our showroom are also available.

Yes. Our experienced team can take your full measurements at our Manchester showroom. This is the most accurate method and we recommend it especially for bridal and heavily structured outfits. The consultation is completely free and there is no obligation to order. Just visit us or book an appointment via WhatsApp.

That is one of the biggest advantages of ordering from Jabeenz. Because every piece is made to your individual measurements, there is no need to fit into a standard size. We craft the garment to your exact body measurements, so it fits you perfectly regardless of where you fall on any size chart.

We specialise in bridal lehengas, shararas, ghararas, anarkalis, pishwas, maxis, gowns, and party wear for every South Asian occasion. Every piece is designed in Manchester and handcrafted by our skilled artisans in Pakistan using traditional techniques including zardozi, dabka, kundan, sequin, and thread embroidery. We have been perfecting this craft since 1975.

Yes. Every Jabeenz design is our own original creation. We are a manufacturer, not a reseller or stockist. We do not produce replicas or copies. Each outfit is designed by our team with decades of expertise and can be further personalised to make it uniquely yours.

We work with premium fabrics including raw silk, organza, chiffon, velvet, net, jamawar, and cotton silk. All our fabrics are sourced from trusted, verified suppliers we have worked with for years. The right fabric choice depends on the garment type, occasion, and your personal preference, and we are always happy to guide you.

We recommend professional dry cleaning for all our garments. Store your outfit in the breathable garment cover we provide, away from direct sunlight and damp conditions. For heavily embroidered pieces, fold them carefully with tissue paper between the layers rather than hanging them for long periods. Proper care will keep your outfit looking beautiful for years.

We photograph our garments as accurately as possible, but screen colours can vary between devices. For bespoke orders, we can send fabric swatches or close-up photos taken in natural light via WhatsApp so you can confirm the exact shade before production begins. We want you to be completely confident in your choice.

Yes. We offer a curated range of accessories including jewellery, clutch bags, dupattas, and footwear. Our styling team can help you choose pieces that complement your outfit and create a polished, cohesive look for your event.

We know the construction, fabrics, and embroidery techniques of our own pieces inside and out, which means we can alter them properly without compromising the quality. We cannot guarantee the same standard with garments made by others.

Every Jabeenz garment is handcrafted with care, and genuine quality takes time. Our minimum lead times are approximately 4 weeks for simpler pieces, 8 weeks for party wear, and 10 weeks for bridal outfits. We strongly recommend planning ahead, especially for bridal orders, to allow proper time for design, production, and fittings.

Absolutely not. Jabeenz only works with trusted, verified suppliers and production partners we have built long-standing relationships with over many years.

Our entire focus, expertise, and nearly 50 years of experience is dedicated to creating beautiful women's garments, and that is where our quality and craftsmanship is at its best.

Yes. Because we are a manufacturer and not a reseller, and because we customise every piece to your chosen colour, fabric, embroidery style, and measurements, no two Jabeenz outfits are ever the same. Even when customers start from the same collection design, the personalisation means each finished piece is genuinely one of a kind.

For Eid and formal events, we recommend elegant party wear such as anarkalis, maxis, gowns, or lighter lehengas with refined embroidery.
