We Dilliwalas are blessed with an array of fantastic options when it comes to shaadi shopping. Be it our own wedding, or a loved one’s or just a random one that we have to attend, we are spoilt for choice for places where we can do all the shaadi shopping at one go. But this is also the reason, that we have almost forgotten the joy of getting our outfits custom made. We go around searching for that perfect outfit from one shop to another, without considering the proper fitting requirements. Wouldn’t it be awesome, then, if we could just pick the right fabrics from a fabric market in Delhi, choose a design online (Bollywood inspiration, anyone?) and head out to that one trusted tailor bhaiya and get it made? My cousin got married a few weeks back and this is exactly what I did! I searched for outfit inspos online, picked out all the fabrics that I needed and my tailor bhaiya got to work!
