A Custom Bridal Commission, Start to Finish
A custom commission is the heart of what Karigur does: a bridal that does not exist until you and our design team imagine it together. We begin with your story — the ceremonies, the colour you keep returning to, the heirloom you want echoed — then translate it into a hand-sketched design, a fabric and embroidery plan, and a piece cut to your exact measurements.
The garment is built in our Karachi atelier, where zardozi, dabka, and resham are worked by hand over weeks. You stay close to the process through your Toronto contact, and the bridal returns to the GTA for fittings so it sits the way it should on your body, on your day. Most brides begin six to nine months out; intricate, heavily worked pieces want more runway, while lighter commissions can move faster.
In short
How does a custom bridal commission work at Karigur?
You start with a private consultation, then co-design your bridal through sketches, fabric, and embroidery choices. Karigur takes your measurements, hand-builds the piece in its Karachi atelier over several weeks, and brings it back to Toronto for fittings before your wedding. Most brides begin six to nine months ahead.

In Short
How long does a custom bridal commission take?
Plan on roughly six to nine months from your first consultation to your final fitting. Heavily hand-worked bridals — dense zardozi, layered dabka, fully embellished cholis — want the longer end of that window, while lighter commissions can move faster. Reserving atelier time early is the surest way to protect your wedding date.
