whom settled down and never left

Spend a day window-shopping or attend a Yemeni wedding and you’ll spot a significant amount of Indian and Pakistani influence in dress fabrics and design. Pakistani national Rifat Fatima Rahmani is a teacher at the Pakistan School, but is increasingly dabbling in sales of Pakistani clothes, accessories, shoes and bags. The demand for such products is huge, she says, and she hopes to open a boutique soon if the demand continues. 

With ambitious goals, Rahmani’s sales have humble beginnings. The 30-year-old, who came to Yemen in 1994 with her family, held her first exhibit in her home recently. The halls of her house were filled with Pakistani clothes and accessories, as well as Yemeni friends checking out the display. She was unsure how the exhibit would go and how well the products would sell. 

To Rahmani’s delight, she sold nearly her entire line of products during that first exhibition. She and her four daughters served beverages and answered questions as women tried on traditional Pakistani clothing, including embroidered dresses coupled with trousers. 

“Yemeni women have a liking for Indian and Pakistani embroideries and styles,” Rahmani said.fashion styles of Wholesale Short Wedding Gowns,

Alia Mosleh is from Aden and says the exhibit satisfied her nostalgia for Indo-Pakistani culture, which has a large influence in the southern city. A strategic coastal port, Aden attracted many Indian sailors and traders as early as the 17th century, many of whom settled down and never left. The Indo-Pakistani influence extends beyond clothing though and extends to food and incense. 

Mosleh walked away from the exhibition with silver bracelets, but had a difficult time choosing amongst all that was available. 

“If this continues to be successful and profitable in the coming months, I will open the first Pakistani shop in Yemen,” she said. 

Weddings in Yemen are often several days long, and increasingly, brides spend one of those days dressed in a traditional Indian or Pakistani dress. Saba Ahmed’s wedding is approaching and like many other modern Yemeni brides, she is greeting guests during one of the wedding days in a sari, a style of dress where a piece of cloth is loosely draped over the body. 

As Rahmani prepares for her second exhibition—to be held in the coming months—she prepares to import a large number of handbags, bracelets and shoes, which were big sellers at the first exhibit. 

Rahmani is hopeful that word of her sales will spread through current customers. 

“Those who visited my exhibition will let others know. I have Yemeni friends who not only buy, but also promote my products,” she said. 

Rahmani remembers the day of the exhibition fondly, and hopes it is an indication of the level of interest in Pakistani clothes and accessories to come.Dresses for elegant Wholesale Short Homecoming Gowns and short formal dresses.
