Measurements

If you are looking to place an order, but unsure about measurements, there will be online measurement forms for you fill out once you checkout.

Alternatively, we can email you a custom measurement form to fill online or setup a 15-20 min follow-up in-person or virtual appointment for measurements.


Measurements can be taken in-studio free of charge with a confirmed order only. If measurements are taken without a confirmed order, there is a $50 charge which can be refunded if a confirmed order is placed within 7 days of time measurements are taken. There will be no exceptions.


*If you are looking to come in only for measurements, this will depend on if we are open, appointment schedule, and sheer availability of our staff. Our purchasing clients are first priority and if there are clients present in the studio, we cannot take your measurements.

We may or may not be to accommodate measurement only requests during walk-in hours. We will not schedule appointments for measurements only. Please call ahead of time.
*We do not do any alterations or have an in-house tailor

Do you have pieces in-stock at your studio to purchase or try on?

Yes, we have about ~150 - 200 styles in our studio, at a time, to purchase off-the-rack. Most of the styles are sent into our studio on rotation by our curated designers, so we may or may not have very specific styles from website in-stock at a given moment.

Each designer sends in stock on rotation and typically have about 7-10 pieces from that designer in at a time (unless pieces have been bought off the rack from clients). This sampling usually provides clients a good idea of each of the designer's quality and workmanship up close, as well as silhouettes in order to custom order.

We are unique in the sense that we are not located where all other traditional Indian stores are located in Chicago-- off of Devon Avenue! We are located in the heart of downtown Chicago. Convenient and intentional location for our customer demographic.

What are the size options for the pieces in-studio try that are available to purchase or try on?


We are a curated multi-designer studio, so all our items are hand-made (not factory made in bulk). Therefore, we are beholden to the sample pieces our designers send us in varying sizes. We do request sizes from 0-18 from our designers, but at any given time it can vary. It really depends on the replenishment cycle vs what is being purchased off the rack.
Due to our setup, we may not have a specific designer, style, color, or size in stock at all times.
Since we opened, we continually make it our goal to request that our designer partners send us a range of sizes. This is something we communicate to our designers, each time they are sending us stock.
