Meri Jaan Boutique — Local services in Austin

Visited this boutique with my family in search for outfits for my wedding next year and was pleasantly surprised at the wonderful vibe of this shop for so many reasons:

Ambience: Everything is beautifully lit in neat rows of clothing racks with spacious walkways, fitting rooms and sitting areas. There is a beautiful, private area in the back with a pedestal and large mirror for you to check out your dresses and comfortable seating for family or friends that may be with you to see.

Clothing: So many options, colors and styles of Indian outfits ranging from casualwear to bridal that you can truly get for any occasion. Outfits are priced extremely reasonably as well. They have lehengas, anarkali suits, gowns, designer-wear, shervanis, kurtas, salwars among others. The colors and patterns also range from bright and summery to darker and more elegant. It's hard to choose just a few things to try on! They can also custom make outfits if you are looking for something in particular or have an idea in mind.

Service: The service is absolutely wonderful - my mom heard about the owner, Meenu, from several community events and her husband was there on multiple occasions when we went to try things on. He was absolutely wonderful in helping us find things we might like and making us feel comfortable in the shop. It was very homely and he was incredibly knowledgeable and hospitable.

In summary, this is 100% the best Indian boutique I have been to in Austin - it is not messy and cramped as these boutiques usually are, but tastefully decorated and inviting. Would definitely recommend and...

Beautiful Collection but serious Safety Issue :

Bought a very beautiful dress for a one year old baby. There was a needle with thread that was not removed/cut off after the final stitching and It was a tiny needle and could not be spotted until it was worn. This is a dangerous flaw that could have caused a major injury. Luckily it was spotted and immediately removed. clearly someone forgot to remove it in the final step.

P.S : Please inspect very well several times to make sure there was no loose or attached tiny sewing needles.

Request to Owners : It is not easy to avoid these flaws as it is tedious and not automated but please see if these can somehow be spotted before display.

I’m attending a wedding in India in a few months, and didn’t really know where to begin. Meri Jaan Boutique was by far the best experience. The shop itself is gorgeous with great vibes, and the ladies were extremely helpful. They showed me many different options, since there are multiple events within the 3-day celebration I’m attending. They provided advice on how I could customize the look and style, and most importantly they ensured that I knew how to wear the Sari I chose. I walked in with the intentions just to look, and left feeling overjoyed with my purchase. This was such a fun day for me and my friends. I’m so glad...
