Silk Couture

Ah Indian wedding coming up and I need a new outfit. Well Gerrard St is out b/​c long ago most of the clothing stores have closed/​moved. Mississauga and Brampton is of course the next logical area to go… but I don’t feel like driving that far.
So my dad and aunts told me about this small store in the A. dot (Ajax) so I decided the next time I visited my fam I would head here.
It’s small but well packed with lots of options — casual pieces up to more elaborate pieces for parties and weddings. They also do stitching which is exactly what I needed as I already had the fabric.
I had a few ideas for what I wanted designed and when I showed the owner (I’m assuming she is), she told me that the amount and type of fabric I had wouldn’t suit what I wanted. This I appreciated b/​c I know other people would be like ok, ok and just stitch it. But she explained it wouldn’t fall correctly or when I sat down it would bunch up. I could buy more fabric to get it how I wanted but I was running out of time so I settled for a traditional lengha instead of something more fashionable.
She only charged $ 40 for stitching which is amazing — but of course will need to see the finished product before judging, but for $ 40 I don’t expect perfection.
I took a peek at some of her pieces and they seem very reasonably priced… but the selection seems for an older crowd, but you never know what gem you could find.
Next time I will visit her first with my design and ask for her recommendations for what fabrics to buy as she seems to have a good idea of what should be used.
They are closed on Mondays but open the rest of the days at 11am
