EDITED: my previous post (5 stars) was after I purchased the dress (before alterations) and they offer a 10% discount if you leave a review on Google. I do not recommend this place. After being very clear about being pregnant and needing a style that covered my belly, the woman assured me she would be able to to tailor the outfit I picked out and told me to come back the week before the wedding. I came back, she tried on the outfit, all seemed well. When I went back the following week to pick up, she didn’t have my dress ready or even started. She asked me to come back the next day (we were leaving in the morning for the wedding, and I live 40 minutes away). After rearranging my work schedule I was able to stay for more time while she “altered the dress.” After some crude and hasty alterations and her telling me my belly was fine (literally huge pregnant belly and the pants went under it with a sheer top), I left flustered. When I wen5 home I realized not only was the waist now too tight but the pants were hemmed with one being about 3-4 inches shorter than the other. I called her and she said to come in the next day. So we pushed back our time to leave (which made us miss the mendhi and haldi), and I drove the 1 hr 20 round trip. I ended up returning that dress (she said it wasn’t a maternity style and she couldn’t add in a belly like she previously said she could have), and got a new one, which was far too big and she hastily sewed up. It was so uncomfortable and just not a flattering fit throughout the night. My mom does some sewing and was shocked at how crude the tailoring was. She also tried to up charge me for the dress.
We had a great experience with Maa Shakti boutique! They helped me pick out a dress for a friends wedding for which I will be very pregnant! And they tailor on site, which is very helpful. Looking forward to seeing the...
Read moreUpdate 10/14: we originally purchased 2 Lehengas back in August and they informed us that alterations were included in the price. In addition, if we submitted a 5 star review at checkout they would give us a 10% discount, which we originally did. We didn’t need the alterations until October so the owners said give us a month, come in September and we will have the alterations done. We pickup the lehengas and when we take them home to try on we notice that the fitting just doesn’t seem fully correct. We look inside and notice that no cloth has been removed (the lehengas were very big originally). The “alterations” were ultimately cloth being folded in and hand sewed. In additions, all the layers under the skirt were also not cut properly, mostly bunched up and hand sewed. Because of this, the lehengas did not look even, did not feel comfortable, and did not fit correctly.
We had to ultimately go to another seamstress to have these lehengas fixed. That seamstress had to fully undo everything that Maa Shakti did and do it the correct way.
My final thoughts - the owners and people there seemed nice and they had some decent lehenga options but unfortunately most of the sizes are larger. In addition, I would not recommend the alterations here as they are not done correctly and they will ruin the lehengas. They should just sell lehengas and not offer alterations. Old Review: Everyone at the store is so incredibly helpful and nice. They have a really nice selection with great pricing. Would...
