Nim's Boutique ltd — Local services in Great Britain

I visited the store about a month ago with really high expectations as I've been an insta fan for ages. There wasn't much in my size (maybe due to the time of year I visited before wedding season) I'm a size 18 to 20. I had to really just buy what fit me and not what I wanted. This store is great if you need a larger size and let's face it we don't get the option to walk in anywhere and buy an Indian outfit in a large size. The changing rooms had lots of large dust bunnies everywhere this really put me off. I would like to say Nim was there and wss very helpful bringing me lots of suit choices however I wanted a lengha skirt and travelled all the way to Leicester from Wolves to find only 2 skirts in my size to try. I would recommend you call ahead to see what they have in stock. If you are on the smaller side then I would say absolutely lots of choice for you. I did end up buying a skirt, blouse and matching chuni full price and a dress from the sale rail.

The skirt had a pull in the fabric I did mention it to Nim, but there was nothing to swap it out for. I still paid full price for it and not even a small discount for the pull (some of the thread had pulled and stuck out. I cut it off when I got home, but you could visibly see it.) I did like some of the suits bought to me to try on however one had red pinky stains all over it and the other had pulled fabric. I did mention this to Nim so she could check the garments.

I had really high hopes but sadly I left underwhelmed. I got 2 outfits none of which were my first choice but I really wasn't left with many options.

I would say try this shop in person as sizing in the blouses differs quite a bit. One style blouse fit and another one in the same size wouldn't even zip up.

Give it go, I would go in advance of your event so if it doesn't work for you, you still have time to...

Went to Nim’s as a new first time mum, 3 months postpartum on a Friday lunchtime. We had a family wedding coming up and I needed two outfits to wear for different functions. I was dreading going shopping with my new body, but Nim made me feel so at ease. As soon as I walked in, she greeted me with a very friendly, warm welcome and showed me the wide range of outfits that she had available. She was very attentive and brought me a wide range of blouses to try in different sizes and styles to find one that would fit me. I must have tried on about 15, but that was only a small number of what was available as she has plenty of blouses in different colours and styles. The other thing that I really liked about this store, is that the outfits are all labelled in UK sizes, so I was able to browse independently and pick out what I wanted to try on. Whilst I was there, I also browse the jewellery section and picked a matching jewellery set to go with my new reception outfit. I feel that the outfits and jewelry were very reasonably priced; I will definitely be returning to this boutique for any future outfits and have followed on Instagram to make sure that I don’t miss any new styles. There was a huge range of suit and lengha styles to choose from. The outfit I wore to the reception was made of a great quality and was so comfortable to wear. Which is exactly what I needed when handling a three month old at a big fat Indian wedding reception. I cannot recommend this boutique highly enough and will definitely...

My sister and I drove down from London to visit this store as I saw some posts on AnjliLookBook's Insta and wanted to get a few mix and match bits for a wedding.

The variety of print, colours and sizes available are great.

The quality of some products is poor. I tried on a few things and was covered in glitter. I have many glittery items and they do not shed in this way. The sequin blouses were very uncomfortable and left me scratched up. I have recently purchased sequin top/blouses from Coast so I know that these can be made comfortably. The stitching is also not very good on the pieces I handled. I'd be interested to know how many wears you could get and how the garments would hold during dry cleaning etc.

The cups are not stitched in, which may be purposeful. However, removable cups can still be designed with care (i.e. slits for cups to be removed/inserted like in gym wear).

I left the store immediately after we took out a floral lengha skirt from the plastic packaging and for want of a better word, it absolutely stank. I've never experienced that before from Indian wear. I've only ever smelt something similar on black jeans but never on Indian wear. It just gave me the impression that it was made with cheap materials/dye.

I emailed Nims boutique and DM'd on two occasions to provide an explanation but weeks later, I heard nothing back.

Overall truly disappointing, but I did find everything I needed from a beautiful shop called Aarshi on Belgrave Road who I wrote a...
