What we stitch

Three ways to be properly dressed

From a reception lehenga that takes five weeks to a hemline you need by tomorrow evening — same studio, same standard of finish.

Bridal & Occasion

Heavy-work garments that have to fit perfectly under lights, jewellery and a full day of wear.

  • Bridal & reception blouses, aari and zardozi fitting
  • Lehenga choli, half saree, langa voni
  • Designer Anarkali, gowns, sharara sets
  • Boned bodice, cup lining and can-can support

How it works

Four steps, no surprises

Every order runs the same way, whether it's a ₹150 hem or a ₹20,000 bridal blouse.

  1. 01

    Consultation

    Visit the studio or send a reference photo on WhatsApp. We talk fabric, fall, lining and finish before anything is cut — and give you a firm price.

  2. 02

    Measurement

    A 14-point body measurement, written into your own card and kept on file. Home pickup available across Malakpet, Dilsukhnagar, Santosh Nagar and Kothapet.

  3. 03

    Fitting Trial

    A first fit before final stitching. Darts, sleeve depth, armhole and neckline get adjusted on you — not guessed from a chart. Up to three fittings included.

  4. 04

    Finish & Delivery

    Hand-finished edges, hooks aligned, pressed and packed in cloth. Collect from the studio or have it delivered anywhere in the city.

Style reference

Styles we can stitch for you

A reference gallery of the necklines, sleeves, backs and finishes we work with. These are inspiration images, not photographs of our own orders — bring one of these, or a picture of your own, and we'll cut it to your measurements.

Before you order

How to measure at home

Sending fabric from out of town? Take these five measurements with a soft tape, over a well-fitting blouse — not over loose clothing — and send them on WhatsApp.

Send measurements

Keep the tape level all the way round and parallel to the floor — check the back in a mirror. Breathe normally and don't pull tight. Round up to the nearest half inch. If you're between sizes, give us both numbers and we'll decide at the fitting.

The narrowest part of your torso, usually about an inch above the navel. Bend sideways — the crease that forms is your natural waist. This is different from where a saree is tied, so tell us if you want the blouse fitted higher or lower.

Around the fullest part of the hips and seat, roughly 8 inches below the natural waist. Stand with feet together. For lehengas we also need your waist-to-floor length, measured in the footwear you'll actually wear on the day.

Shoulder: across the back from the tip of one shoulder bone to the other. Sleeve: from the shoulder tip down the outside of a slightly bent arm to where you want it to end. Standard short sleeve is 6″, elbow is 10″, three-quarter is 14″.

Blouse length: from the shoulder seam straight down the front to where you want the hem — usually 14–15″. Armhole: right around the arm where it joins the shoulder, adding about an inch for comfort. The easiest option is to courier us a blouse that already fits you well — we'll copy it exactly and return it with your order.

In their words

What Hyderabad says about us

“My bridal blouse had heavy aari work, and I was scared it would tear. They added lining and support inside, and it stayed perfect for my 14-hour wedding.”
Ananya R.Bridal blouse · Mehdipatnam
“They already have my measurements, so I just send my fabric on WhatsApp. My clothes come back stitched perfectly every time.”
Sneha K.Regular customer · LB Nagar
“I gave them my mother’s old Kanjeevaram blouse. They made it two sizes smaller and kept the original border. I loved the result.”
Shazia S.Alteration · Saidabad
“I had three fittings, and the last one was just a small sleeve change. They never rushed and made sure everything fit perfectly.”
Divya M.Anarkali · Uppal

Good to know

Questions we get every week

Anything not covered here, just ask on WhatsApp — Sabira usually replies the same day.

Yes — most of our work is stitched from the client's own fabric. Bring the material along with lining if you have a preference. If you're short on fabric we'll tell you before cutting rather than after. We can also source fabric, lining and can-can for you at cost.

For orders above ₹3,000 we offer free home measurement and pickup across Malakpet, Dilsukhnagar, Santosh Nagar, Kothapet and Saidabad. Elsewhere in Hyderabad there's a small travel charge. Bridal clients get home fittings as standard.

Simple alterations and saree falls can be same-day if dropped before noon. A basic blouse can be done in 48 hours. Heavy-work and bridal pieces cannot be rushed safely — we'd rather refuse the order than deliver something that pulls at the seams. Express orders carry a 30% charge.

Every order includes up to three fittings, and adjustments within 15 days of delivery are free. If a garment can't be made to fit because of a measurement we took, we remake it at our cost.

Cash, UPI and bank transfer. For everyday stitching you pay on collection. For bridal and occasion orders we take 40% at the time of cutting and the balance on delivery.

This is a women's studio, so no menswear. We do stitch for girls — langa voni, frocks and festival sets — and for teenagers going to functions.
