My Bridal Experience Felt Like Working With Family
I cannot emphasize enough how incredible my experience with Saba was. I had a million ideas from Pinterest, but no clue how to turn them into something cohesive. Saba didn’t just design a dress, she helped me discover what I wanted. She asked about my story, my fiancé, my family traditions, and then created something that was deeply personal and one-of-a-kind.
We incorporated elements from my late mum’s wedding outfit and the result brought my grandmother and father to tears. The level of detail, the artistry, and the love stitched into every panel was undeniable. She asked if she could post pictures from my wedding however, due to religious reason I am not comfortable with it. I do wish I was able to showcase it so others could understand her talent. I thank her for her understanding. Please take this review as your push to go with her. Although I can not share my pictures, I will always be sharing my experience. If you want a designer who cares as much about your big day as you do, go with Saba.
So Much More Than a Dress
When I started planning my South Indian-Punjabi wedding, I was overwhelmed trying to find an outfit that brought both cultures together. Then I found Saba through a friend. She sat with me (virtually!) to understand my cultural roots, family traditions, and personal style. She created a sketch that blended Kanjeevaram silk with delicate Phulkari-inspired handwork and I was in love.
Saba involved me in every step, even letting me choose the lining color so it matched my late grandmother’s sari. When I received the final outfit, it wasn’t just beautiful; it was meaningful. Working with her felt like working with a friend who just gets it. I’ll always cherish it.
Exceptional Bridalwear Experience
Saba helped me design a modern dress for my fusion wedding. I wanted something that balanced Indian tradition with Western tailoring with clean lines, minimal embroidery, and a custom monogram on the back of the dress.
From the very first conversation, Saba asked the right questions and guided me well. She recommended a luxurious ivory fabric, offered sketches, and made sure every measurement was exact. The result? A stunning piece that made me feel elegant, beautiful, and totally myself.
It’s not just her artistry, it’s how she listens, collaborates, and truly cares that sets her apart.
Seamless Long-Distance Experience and the Most Beautiful Reception Look
I worked with Saba from the UK to create my reception outfit. I was skeptical about ordering something fully custom-made without being able to try it on but Saba made the experience not only easy, but truly enjoyable. She sent me a measuring guide, helped me understand fabric drape, and kept me updated throughout the process with messages and swatches.
The final result was stunning, bright, joyful colors with just the right amount of sparkle, and so lightweight that I could dance all night without adjusting anything. Everyone complimented how unique and ‘me’ the outfit looked. Saba understood my vibe better than I could explain it myself!
My Custom Bridal Vision Came to Life Flawlessly
From the moment I contacted Saba, I knew I was in excellent hands. I had a very specific vision for my nikkah outfit: soft champagne tones, delicate floral embroidery, and a modern cut that still respected tradition. Saba listened so carefully, offered feedback on fabrics and finishes, and sent me multiple sketch revisions until it felt perfect.
She shared progress updates through videos and photos, which was especially helpful since I was planning my wedding from Houston. When the outfit arrived, I loved it. The craftsmanship, fit, and elegance were beyond anything I imagined. Thank you, Saba, for making my dream outfit a reality and for treating it with the same care as if it were yours.
More Than a Designer, A Bridal Guide
Saba isn’t just a designer, she’s your bridal partner. When I was overwhelmed with vendor issues, she calmed me, offered emotional support, and stayed patient with design changes. As someone with ADHD, I had a hard time finalizing a design and sticking to it. She stayed patient and helped guide my vision. The final dress was perfection.
Felt Like a Queen on My Day
The handwork is breathtaking. Truly artisan quality at reasonable pricing. My bridal saree had such fine detailing that guests kept asking where it was made. I felt regal and radiant in a dress created just for me.
Seeing the Sketch Gave Me So Much Confidence
Saba’s sketches are a game-changer. Seeing the design come to life before committing gave me confidence in every decision. The embroidery was immaculate and the wedding outfit turned out even more beautiful in person.
Inclusive, Body-Positive, and Flawless
I’m plus‑size and always struggled with fit but Saba’s inclusive approach meant my bridal dress was flattering, modest, and incredibly well-crafted. She understands body diversity and brings your vision to life beautifully. Plus the flow made me feel like a princess.
Loved my outfit
I needed a dress for my friends wedding in a specific shade and style and Saba definitely delivered! She and her team were easy to work with. They replied to all my questions very quickly. She gave me multiple options for fabric and patterns throughout the design process. Once confirmed, I received videos of my outfit being made by her team and I trusted that she would have my outfit ready and delivered on time. The outfit is beautiful and it fit great with everything being virtual! I would highly recommend working with Saba and her team for your custom dress!
Custom Bridal Wear That Turned Heads
Communication with Saba was top-notch. Whether it was fabric swatches, sketch approvals, or progress videos, she kept me in the loop. My custom bridal outfit was ready early and fit perfectly at pickup. However, I did lose more weight before my wedding and messaged the team to see if they can alter the dress down further. They said they would have to charge for that. They only offer free fittings at the time of pick-up and do not offer free alterations after the dress is taken home. I hope they change that in the future.
Supportive, Stylish & So Thoughtful
The level of personal care and empathy Saba shows is unmatched. She not only delivered a gorgeous bridal dress but also took the time to reassure me when I felt anxious during planning. She truly goes above and beyond. She was more than just my designer. I worked with Amna on her team who was just as kind and caring. Truly a blessing.
Elegant Arab Bridal, Made Effortlessly
I was initially overwhelmed designing a custom Arab bridal dress, but I saw a picture of a white gown on their instagram page. I asked the team if they would be able to bring my vision to life. They said I wouldn’t regret it. Saba simplified everything—asked great questions, sent sketches, and kept me updated. The result was a show‑stopping outfit that fit perfectly and felt luxurious.
Craftsmanship That Honoured Tradition
The teams attention to detail is exceptional. They created a bespoke bridal frock with hand-embroidered motifs that matched my family heirloom dupatta perfectly. The piece was unique, elegant, and exactly within budget. Thank you for all your help!
Saved My Wedding Look Last Minute
My original designer let me down at the last minute, and Saba came to the rescue with a beautiful custom walima outfit in weeks. She rushed it without compromising quality and even offered a special rate. Everyone I reached out to had said 11 weeks delivery was impossible but she made it happen. A true blessing!
Nervous About Virtual Fitting
I live in New York and was nervous about virtual fittings, but Saba guided me patiently over video calls, walked me through measuring techniques, and nailed the fit. The dress arrived on time and was flawless. Highly recommend!
Stress-Free Couture with Stunning Results
From the first sketch to final delivery, Saba Nisa Khan made the entire bridal couture process stress-free. I am located in the UK so consultations were done over video call. They were thoughtful, listened to my preferences, and even helped with fabric choices that suited my wedding theme. My gharara dress turned heads and I couldn’t be happier.
Loved my lehenga
Saba and her team delivered my custom bridal lehenga exactly as I envisioned; intricate handwork, perfect fit, and stunning colour coordination. I loved receiving video updates during the making process; it made me feel connected every step of the way. Absolutely seamless!
READ
I have been following Saba for years. When she launched her line I knew I would come to her for my wedding dresses. What I didn’t know was how much comfort she would bring me throughout the process. My wedding had some family drama associated with it as I am a convert. I expressed to Saba how much joy the updates on the dresses bring to me on days when I feel helpless. She told me to message her anytime I was having a hard time and she would help cheer me up with some updates. That later turned into conversations of encouragement and love. She gave me advice, hope, and always managed to take time out to respond. It went from dress updates to words of encouragement. I wish this review section allowed for pictures because there are some conversations I would love for people to see. She took time to speak to me even though I was just a client. And she made the most beautiful dresses. She was a light during the hard time and my husband and I are very grateful for her. She did one more thing for me which she asked me not to share so I will not. I know a review will never be enough to express my gratitude towards her so I pray for the best for her in this life and the next. Although I’m very glad I am finally married, I will miss having her as my designer. Best decision I made.
Avoid the brands with horror stories
I heard horror stories about brands. I wanted to originally fly to Pakistan to make my dress but my friend recommended Saba to me. On our first meeting, I knew I found my designer. She did everything I asked and more. She was very communicative and did an impeccable job. Very glad I went with her.
Made my beautiful dress in 1 month
Got in touch with the team on Instagram and did the consult. My nikkah date was originally supposed to be in the summer of 2025. A couple weeks after placing the order we received news about my grandmothers health. We had to switch the date of the nikkah to December of 2024. Less than a month away. I contacted the team and explained my situation and asked if it was possible to speed the process. They really did everything they possibly could to make this time easy for me. And best of all, they delivered on time and I was able to wear my dress to the nikkah. Very grateful. Planning my Rukhsati for next year and I don’t plan on going with anyone else.
Best online virtual bridal process
I live in Chicago so all my appointments were virtual. if you are worried about working with this team because you don’t live near a location, I am here to tell you their online process is full proof. I genuinely don’t believe someone in person could have done a better job.
I love that this brand does video consultations so you feel more at ease, knowing that you can trust the people working on your dress. It was also really good because I got to see things and ask questions just like an in person appointment (except it was from the comfort of my home).
I was really worried about fitting, but Saba assured me she would take my measurements over a video call and ensure I take them correctly. She actually watched me take my measurements so carefully and correct me when I was leaving too much space or taking the wrong part. And she was absolutely correct because when the dress came in it fit exactly the way I wanted.
I also really love that they sketch a visual of my dream dress based on all the information i provide. This really helped me because I could see what works well together and what didn’t so I could make those changes before placing my order.
My dresses came out perfect. I genuinely don’t believe anyone could have done a better job.
Love Saba
I’ve been following Saba for years. When I heard she launched a clothing line I knew I wanted to get her to create my wedding dresses. Her process was very simple. You just fill out a form detailing your vision. She created a sketch. Then I asked her to make little changes to the sketch. Then we picked my material and the color and the type of handwork. Her staff started on the dresses and sent me updates weekly. When the dress finished, I went to her studio for a fitting. And that was it. The dress was made perfect exactly the way I wanted. I love that it has pure hand work and she asked me what my budget was to make sure it is made within that. Everything was so transparent and easy with her. I’m so glad I get to call myself a Saba Nisa Khan bride. I love her and now I love her brand too.
Live far and worried about fitting
Just got my bridal dress and came here to say I love it and love everything about it
I was worried about the fitting because everything was done over video call but the fitting was perfect too
Even the colour is perfect
Their method to do appointments on video calls really helps
It’s better than what I think the stores in person here could have made
100/100
I am sorry this review took so long. My friend got her Bridal dresses from Saba last year. I really liked the quality of the work so I asked them to make my wedding dresses this year. I wanted to write the review right after my wedding a couple months back but got busy. My friend asked me what my experience was like and I thought I should share it here too. The process was very smooth. The team was very helpful. The quality was extremely good. The dresses were perfect. They made the dresses exactly as I wanted. Everything was stress free. If I could go back, I would choose them again.
Best team
Saba Nisa Khan and team is the best! Did everything I asked for. Thank-you
Letter of appreciation
Dear Saba and team,
You asked me to leave a review but I thought I would leave a thank you letter for people to read. You and your team made my bridal experience extremely joyous. You took your time to understand what I wanted and made countless changes to my sketches patiently until I was satisfied. You advised me throughout the process while keeping my vision priority. You not only made my bridal dress process easy but also made the entire wedding planning process easy. I can not thank you enough for lending me your ear when I just needed to vent about other vendors in the wedding business. Thank you for also stepping in to help. You were my designer and you could have easily hung up or cut meetings short. But you recognized I needed a little extra love and reassurance. You helped keep my anxiety levels low. I can not thank you enough. You are not just a designer, you are a great person. I pray you excel in this field and everything in life and the hereafter. My dresses were nothing less than perfection. Thank you and your team for each and every second you attended to me. I will forever root for your success. If you are reading this, trust me and choose Saba as your designer. You will be very lucky to have her.
Plus size girlies, rejoice!!!!
SABA NISA KHAN is an absolute gem of a brand, especially for those of us who have struggled to find truly inclusive, flattering, and beautifully crafted desi clothing. As someone who wears an XXL and has lived near Devon Avenue in Chicago—I’ve tried countless boutiques and designers over the years. Yet, SABA NISA KHAN is the only brand that consistently delivers outfits that make me feel confident, elegant, and comfortable, without ever compromising on modesty or style.
What stands out about SABA NISA KHAN is the brand’s commitment to inclusivity. In a market where it’s often difficult to find larger sizes without sacrificing beauty or fit, this brand offers an impressive range of sizes without treating plus-size options as an afterthought. I’ve always found it challenging to get outfits that don’t feel too tight or overly loose (I have literally worn outfits that made me feel like I was in a garbage bag), but SABA NISA KHAN gets the fit just right—making their clothing a rare find in the desi fashion world. I cannot express how many tears have been shed on Eids and shaadis because I just looked soo unflattering. I wish I had Saba Nisa Khan outfits years ago!!
Another thing I appreciate is that the outfits don’t just fit well—they are stunning!!! The attention to detail, quality fabrics, and intricate work give each piece a luxurious feel. It’s refreshing to find modest options that don’t feel matronly or outdated but rather celebrate femininity in all its forms.
For anyone, especially those with fuller figures, looking for flattering, beautiful, and modest desi clothing, I cannot recommend SABA NISA KHAN enough. This brand fills a void in the market, offering pieces that are not just larger but truly designed to make every woman feel her best, no matter her size.
Thank you, thank you, thank you SABA NISA KHAN!!!
Stress free
I was originally doing 1 reception. 3 months before my reception, my family decided we will be doing two separate events. I decided to wear my original dress for the baraat but needed a last minute walima dress. I looked everywhere and wasn’t content with anything I tried on. I came across a story Fictionallyflawless posted about custom dresses. I reached out and things went so smoothly. Ordered my dream walima dress stress free. May Allah bless Saba and her team with more success. They deserve it. Great service and excellent quality.
Great experience
I had a great experience ordering my mehndi dress from Saba Nisa Khan. They had fast communication. They had great service. They made the most beautiful dress. The quality and price was great. It was exactly as I imagined.
Saved my wedding
My original designer was making me go through hell. I want to expose her in here but Saba asked that I not share the name on here. But I will give a hint that her store is located in Markham Canada. What a horrible experience. 2 months before my wedding, she had not sent any updates on my dress. When I asked them if they started on the dress yet, they said yes and then went on to ask me for another 500$ because the staff made the dress heavier. When I said I will not pay that because I never wanted it heavier, they asked me to pay 600$ more to rush the order. I placed the order 8 months ago so it all made no sense. My cousin followed Saba on Instagram so she recommended I go with her. I contacted her crying. She said she had no time for a last minute order but felt so bad that she still made room for me and delivered my dress in 6 weeks! My sister is an attorney so she reached out to the other store and is trying to get my deposit back. If it wasn’t for Saba, I don’t know what I would have done. She even made me my dress for a discounted price because I was already losing my deposit at the store. She was so kind and considerate and made the most beautiful dresses.
Love love love love
Love everything. My dresses turned out perfect. Y’all made my bridal dreams come true.
100% Recommend
If you’re scrolling through the reviews to figure out if you should go with SNK or not, I’m here to tell you, DO IT! If someone told me about SNK earlier, I would have gone with them for my Nikkah last year as well. After going through the most tear jerking experience with my nikkah dress, I was done working with big designers. My friend got her dress done by SNK and it was stunning. She told me how amazing her experience was. I messaged them on Instagram and they gave me their WhatsApp contact. We booked 1 in person meeting and I knew I had found my designer. They did everything I asked and advised each time I was stuck. I still have a couple months to my wedding but wanted to leave a review in case anyone is still on fence. 100% recommend
Custom bridals
I looked everywhere for my baraat and valima dress. I didn’t like anything in stores and online. Each dress I liked was always missing something. My friend told me about SNK so I messaged them on Instagram. I sent them pictures of different parts of didn’t dresses I liked. Saba made sketches for me and I loved how she put the vision together. We picked colours and materials and placed the order. They sent me updates throughout the process and delivered 2 months earlier than the due date. I encourage all brides to be to go with them.
Absolute delight
Saba and her team were an absolute delight to work with. The process of ordering my bridals was very simple and easy. They were very communicative. They kept me at ease with updates. They delivered early. The dresses were perfect. Received many compliments. Best part was, I got to customize it to my liking.
Custom Dream Dress!
Working with Saba to design and create my dream custom dress was an amazing experience overall, would highly recommend her & wish that I could have her make all my outfits! Even as a person she was exceptional, super responsive, provides constant updates throughout the entire process and delivers high quality!
Beautiful quality and on time
Love everything. The people. The designs. The dresses. The quality. The price range. The customer service. The brand. Love them. I’m the bride and no one in my family has their dresses delivered yet nor are happy with what they ordered despite placing orders before myself from different designers. I’m the only one happy with my dresses, the service, and I received it all before the delivery date.
This brand is a blessing
The staff and Saba are extremely kind. I got my reception dress from them. The process was so easy and simple. They kept me in the loop the entire time. I requested for changes during the process. Saba helped guide me where she thought my requests may not look good. At one point I did not listen and asked for silver tassels instead of white pearls. She suggested not to do that but I really thought it would look good. When the dress came I loved it. She did the fitting and I took it home. That’s when my mom and Khala kept commenting on the silver tassels looking out of place. I couldn’t help but wonder if pearls would have looked better. It kept bothering me. A few weeks later I asked the team if they could change it. Originally they said no saying it had been weeks and it was what I chose. I was so mad at myself for not listening. Then Saba called me. She said to drop off the dress to her the following weekend. She changed every tassel herself on her day off. I could not be more grateful. When I picked it up, I loved it. It was perfect. She told me if she has the ability to help someone feel better she never shys away. She was a blessing to work with.
I am obsessed
Just got my dress and omg i actually can’t believe how beautiful it is!! I am obsessed with the dress and it fits perfectly! I absolutely lovee how the dress looks…..literally made my dream dress come to life. Thank you soo muchhh!! 🤍🤍
Dream Wedding Dress
Got my custom made wedding dress within my budget and it turned out to be even better than i imagined. it’s like they brought my dream dress to life.
Best of the best
Out of all designers I’ve worked with for previous family weddings, this is the best service I have ever received.
I feel very proud and blessed to be a Saba Nisa Khan 2024 bride and will definitely be using her services in the future.
Always on the clock and got answers or suggestions to suit all your wants and needs.
I assure to anyone reading this, she is an angel which Allah has sent in form of human, you can trust her services and will never be disappointed.
Great price for all handwork
I had my eye on a formal dress since it came out but could never pull the trigger because it was out of my budget. My friend ordered a dress for her sisters wedding from here and convinced me to finally order it. I am glad I did. I have ordered from many online brands and have rarely seen quality like this. The handwork is breathtaking. Online it looked like machine work with some hand embellishment which many brands advertise as all handwork so I did not think otherwise. However, when I received it, it was all handwork and great quality. It’s actually quite cheap for all handwork which is why I thought it was half and half to begin with. I wish they advertise more about their quality and complete handwork. More people would definitely buy because these are cheap prices for this quality and all handwork. Will be buying again without thinking so much next time.
Absolutely Amazing!
I’ve been following Saba’s page (Fictionally Flawless) for years. I absolutely fell in love with her own wedding outfits. She’s been inspiring me for years. When I found out she was launching a fashion line in 2023, I had front row seats to her first fashion show. The designs did not disappoint, they were beautiful and so much better in person. When she announced launching her bridal line in 2024, I’ve never booked tickets faster! I met her in person and let me tell you, she is absolutely amazing. Her bridal dresses are even more stunning in person. Just meeting her and seeing her bridal line, I know that when it comes to bringing my bridal dress dreams to life, she will execute it better than anyone else. So easy communicating with her. In fact, seeing her designs sparked a dress design that I gave up hope on.
I am looking forward to working with Saba and creating the wedding dress of my dreams!
Grateful to be saba nisa khan bride
Beyond grateful to have found this brand and so proud to be a saba nisa khan bride. If you are someone who hates dealing with anxiety and stress or someone who wants to find a trustworthy brand who will deliver everything you want on time, go with saba. I never had to run after them or chase them or worry throughout the process. They kept me updated and asked me for my thoughts and genuinely cared about me. I watched my friends struggle with their bridal dresses with other brands and I am so grateful I did not have to go through that. The final products exceeded my expectations and they truly delivered perfection in every aspect. Many things didn’t go as planned on my wedding days but my bridal dresses went exactly as planned. They were perfect and made me feel perfect. Saba and her team were incredible. Choose them
Made my dream bridal dresses
I’m screaming! Unboxed my bridal dresses this morning and omghkjggdsdgv! Speechless! Never have I ran so quick to write a review. Both my bridal dresses are a dream. Everything I ever wanted. I don’t know how y’all got the vision so right. My dream dresses. The quality of the work and material is great and I love how much the dress sparkles. Y’all were so easy to talk to and kept me comfortable throughout the process. Thank you thank you thank you thank you x 1000000!
Amazing experience and results
If you’re the type of person that wants to see your wedding outfit or outfit style designed before committing, trust me you’re in great hands with Saba Nisa and her team. You don’t have to think twice and it’s worth the wait to see your custom outfit come to life at the end instead. The consultation and creating process is seamless and she is so caring, professional and trustworthy. Her years of experience and dedication are evident as she guides you through the process of creating your dream dress/dresses. Her work ethic is reassuring and she’s so easy to talk to and helps put your mind at ease with any questions or concerns. The hand workmanship on the outfits is incredibly intricate and detailed and comes out looking so beautiful once you see it in person and try it on. Got both my wedding outfits made by her. I would highly suggest going to her with any custom outfits you’re looking to get made whether for your own wedding, someone else’s or any type of special event. She will not disappoint!
JUST PERFECT
Saba’s price, quality, designs, and fit cannot be beat. In a crowd your definitely bound to stand out in the best way possible wearing her collection. She worked with my body type to make sure that I look the best possible. I will definitely recommend to everyone and come back for future events as well as keep an eye out for latest designs.
BREATHTAKING DESIGNS & QUALITY
Saba designed my wedding (nikah) outfit along with my moms. We wanted a custom design where both of us would be matching. Saba worked tirelessly to ensure we were happy with our result and got exactly what we visioned. She was super sweet throughout the whole process and was super responsive. She worked within our budget and honestly, it was just such a great experience to work with her. I am definitely going back to her for more custom outfits.
Both outfits were just breathtaking in person and I have never seen anything like it in stores. I have visited New York, Chicago, Canada and have never seen anything like what Saba can create. The quality, designs, fit, was just perfect. I am so glad I was able to find Saba. 10/10 would recommend.
Loved it!!
I came across Saba on instagram while looking for designers to order a custom mendhi dress from. So many of the other brands/designers I had reached out to were non-responsive and didn’t really inspire trust that they could deliver what I wanted in a reasonable time – but Saba truly went above and beyond to keep me in the loop for every step of the process. She put my vision above everything else – by asking me to describe all the things I wanted/didn’t want in the dress and even sketching out multiple options/variations before we finally found one that I loved. And the end result was more beautiful than I could have even imagined 🙂 I really loved working with her just as much as I love my dress. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking to get custom bridal outfits!
