However, the designer decided to give her stance on this topic as she thinks that this uproar is unnecessary, this design is theirs and no one can claim it for copyright. She further highlighted that when a brand is doing significant favors without expecting anything in return or collaboration, there shouldn't be any problem.
Here are the exact words of Faiza Saqlain:
“So, there’s a lot of noise regarding a bridal jora that we made and I just feel that this needs some clarity. I totally understand the sentiments that a bride might have with her bridal dress but suggesting colors and some minor details does not give copyrights of the design to the bride, all brides customize, make changes, or come up with suggestions for a completely newer look. Neither the silhouette nor the work is something I hadn’t done before neither it is something that we came up with for the first time for that particular event. It’s a very classic silhouette being worn by many brides even before this particular design was designed. It’s always the mixture and assemblage of crafts that makes the design a particular brand.
I feel there wasn’t any need for this uproar especially when designers do a favor and take time out to design time-consuming looks like bridals in return for neither money nor any other major collaborative benefits. This particular jora is completely an fs bridal and we have all the rights to sell it and/ or give it for further collaborations”.

Netizens also agree with the designer that Saboor should not react in such a dramatic way.
She should be happy that people are inspired by her look as well as the dress is designer one so she does not own any copy rights.
