India Sari Palace — Local services in New York

I'm sorry to have to leave such a horrible review since they were very friendly in person, but they ruined my sari top days before I'm leaving for a wedding in India. They 1.) put the fabric I asked to have on the front on the back. 2.) left 2 inches of extra fabric under the armpits of the top so I could not lower my arms. 3.) the sizing on the left side was different than the right side. 4.) the neck it not a perfect round shape and is totally uneven. And 5.) they tried to rush me out of the store after my 2nd fitting saying "it was all fine", when clearly they had damaged it even more. I've had better luck with Party City halloween costumes then I've had getting my top made here. For a place who's entire purpose is to custom make and tailor sari tops, their craftsmanship is an embarrassment. I would never recommend someone to waste their money here and if you choose to, have them measure you 2x at least and to read back your order 3x to make sure they do...

Don't come here if you are not indian/bengali/know what you are doing or looking for –

They will be helpful and then charge you 3x the amount.

Was looking for an outfit for an indian wedding and asked for help. I didn't want to spend too much but left with an outfit (of poor, F21-like quality) for $135. I thought it was just the way things were. This was plain fabric, no embroidery, no beading, nothing.

Went to the tailor and there was a beautiful dress hanging there - the tailor told me it was $50. It was embroidered with beadwork etc. And when I told the tailor I paid $135 for my outfit, she let out an "oh my god."

And that is when I knew they ripped me off really badly. Don't come...

My fiance and I came in not knowing anything about Indian clothing and we had to purchase multiple outfits for an Indian wedding. They were so lovely and walked us through the traditional garments and how to wear them. They really took their time to help us feel comfortable and explained everything and were so patient! They freely let us try on the garments and helped us through the entire process

Prices were extremely reasonable too! My fiance got a kurta for $55 and a nice jacket for $200. I got multiple silk sarees ranging from $100-200

We had gone to two other Indian clothing stores in Kips Bay but both shopkeepers there were...
