5 /5 Vicky Yuan: (update) I wore the saree to Durga Puja in Santa Clara. It was such a fun day out, and I got many compliments from family and friends on the saree. It was much easier to wear due to the tailoring, and I had not trouble walking, sitting and standing for 5 hours. Very happy with my first saree!
My coworker gifted me a saree. I had no experience wearing a saree and I needed a blouse. I found this place online as it is close to my home, and went with some trepidation since I didn’t know what to expect. The onwer, Renuka, was very kind. She helped me picked out a blouse matching the saree, and tried to teach me how to wear the saree. When I told her that I don’t think I can pleat, fold or tuck the fabric as she showed me, she offered to stitch them so that the pleats will stay in place. When I came back a week later, the tailoring has made the saree almost like a wrap skirt that is so easy to wear. I feel more confident and plan to wear it for a Durja Puja event with my coworkers. Renuka was very patient and offered me solutions that made me comfortable as someone new to saree.
I also checked out some of her collection and bought 2 more casual sets that I plan to wear during Diwali. They are more comfortable to wear but no less beautiful in design and fabric. I look forward to wearing them!
It has been a charming experience and I highly recommend it if you want to try Indian dresses.
