Dress Made In India

I am going on holiday to Goa in December. I have heard that it is possible to get a stunning dress made out there for a fraction of the price and that they can can even copy pictures. I am getting married next summer and would obviously love to save a bit of money. Has anyone tried this? How much did it cost and were you pleased? Would love to hear from you if this applies.

No ! I have no info. I am going to see some friends who have just been and hopefully they have some answers for me. Another friend who`s mum goes regularly says a place called SHEETALS in Bombay is where she gets all her stuff made. I am not sure if it is Indian style outfits of wedding dresses. If i get anymore info I will post a message. When are you going???

Hi, I am going mid April, and my plan was to have a dress sewed up if possible. I will be going to Bangalore though. If you hear something keep me updated !

Hi there,

No long now !! I think you can find someone to sew a dress for you anywhere in India really as they are all very talented. The key to getting it sewn well and cheap is hiring a local to show you around for a couple of days as he will be able to speak the language and explain what you want and bargain . They are extremely cheap to hire once there. Good luck and if I get any info for you I will post a message.
