Ok, it might seem weird, but i want to buy fabrics for my wedding dress in India.
On our first trip, last year, i saw some nice fabric stores in Carol Bagh, but i don't know if that's the right place to look for the kind of fabrics i need (lace, embroidery) and if so - which store is the best (variety, quality and prices wise) Also, how can i know (if that's even possible) that the prices I'm being given as a tourist are the same prices for locals (or at least fair and not a rip off). Thanks in advance to all of you that can give me tips, and make my dream of a perfect wedding dress with Indian fabrics come true. ![]() |

Your Budget Idea would certainly be a good start for us to suggest.
Try Chadni Chowk for Material ( Cheapest and a very wide variety ) Take the Metro from CP and head to the market.

Thanks vkochar and Pathankot
I don't really know any Indian people who can help me go shopping, and i have no real budget yet, as i don't know what are the prices of the various fabrics.
Any recommendation on specific stores that holds lace and embroidery? (i only need white material) any recommended web sites so i can get a price estimate? |

My suggestion would be to visit Kinari Bazar in Chandni Chowk.
It's a big market for laces and other wedding dresses materials. Om Lace house is a famous and old shop there.... there are many more.... Since they are not a typical tourist market, I don't think they'll overcharge you. Lajpat Nagar too has a shop, Chopra Laces... they also have a huge variety of laces......
