How it works

From your first message to the finished garment.

Measurements are taken by Rupa or Shree in a closed trial room and written on a card we keep for you. You come to the shop twice: once to measure, once for the trial.

Day 0
Message or visit
Send a photo of the design on WhatsApp, or walk in. We tell you the stitching charge, how much cloth to buy and the delivery date before anything else.
Day 0, ten minutes
Measurements taken
Fourteen measurements for a blouse, eighteen for a suit, more for a lehenga. If you brought an old blouse that fits, we copy what you like and fix what you do not. Half the amount is paid now.
Day 1 to 2
Cutting
The masterji cuts from your card. Lining, astar and canvas go in from our stock. Nothing is cut until the design and price are agreed.
Blouse day 3 · suit day 5 · lehenga day 8 and 12
Trial fitting
Tacked, not finished, so anything can still change. Sleeve, neck depth, length, tightness. Changes at this stage are free. The balance is paid here.

About the shop

One shop, two sisters, four machines.

Rupa Mondal started stitching blouses from her Behala flat in 1998. Her sister Shree joined in 2004 and the shop in Sahapur Colony opened the next year. Today there are four machines, one masterji for cutting, and two women who do only hand finishing: hooks, piping, fall and pico.

We keep every customer's measurements on a card, so a repeat blouse needs only a phone call and the cloth. Most of our customers have been coming for ten years or more.

Common questions

Things customers ask before their first order.

Do I have to bring my own cloth?

For the main fabric, yes. We keep cotton lining, astar, canvas, cups, hooks and matching thread in the shop and add those to the bill at cost.

Can you copy a blouse I already have?

Yes. Bring it along. We measure the blouse and you, and tell you if anything should change. Most repeat customers simply hand over the cloth and a reference blouse.

Can I give measurements over WhatsApp?

For a repeat order, yes, we have your card. For a first order we ask you to come once; a blouse measured on the phone almost never fits right the first time.

What if the fitting is not right?

That is what the trial is for. Fitting changes after the trial are free. If a finished garment does not fit because of our mistake, we fix it or stitch it again at no charge.

Do you do bulk orders?

Yes, for school uniforms, office kurtis and wedding-party blouses. Ten pieces or more get a lower rate and a fixed date. Message us the count and the date.

Do you take orders before Pujo?

Yes, but add 5 days to every delivery time from mid-September, and we stop taking new Pujo orders on Mahalaya. Book your Pujo blouses in August if you can.

What customers say

In their own words.

I have had my blouses stitched here for twelve years. I give the cloth to Shree di on Monday and pick it up on Saturday. Never once a fitting problem.
Mousumi · Sakherbazar

They stitched my daughter's reception lehenga from fabric we bought in Gariahat. Two trials, every change done without a fuss, and ready a week before the date.
