Is this wedding lehenga worth ₹51k?
I recently went wedding lehenga shopping and almost everything I saw had gaudy yellow gold designs whereas I wanted something subtle and definitely not overly bright.
I stumbled upon this lehenga and actually loved the color and the comparatively simple work on it. The price quoted is ₹51,000.
Unfortunately, I don’t have pictures of the blouse or dupatta because the store didn't allow photography. However, the blouse material has a lot of work on it similar to the embroidery at the bottom of the skirt.
I showed it to a friend who told me it doesn’t even look worth ₹20k which has left me completely confused and stressed. I honestly know nothing about fabrics, material quality or embroidery.
Since I'm based in Kerala, we don’t have manufacturing hubs like Chandni Chowk or Surat nearby. My only real options are local retail stores and boutiques but they charge a lot for customizations.
What do you think? Does this look worth the 51k price tag or am I overpaying? Any advice on how to judge the quality would be helpful.
