I went to Saraz for jewelry, clothes and shawls as I have an Indian wedding to go to, but have never shopped for Indian clothes before. I wanted to make sure what I wore was appropriate for the multiple events I would be attending. The owner Samir was very helpful in explaining the different outfits and helping me chose a sari, top and bangles. He suggested I come back the next day so their tailor could help me learn to wear the sari and stitch pleats in it so it would be easy for me to wear. I didn't even know they had a tailor--impressive! She can alter outfits for you and also make the tops to wear under a sari.
When I came back the next day, the tailor was sick, but he still pinned it together for me and explained where to sew and hem the outfit. I could have left it with them, but my flight was the next day so I sewed it at home using his suggestions. I came back for a third time to buy a shawl for a bright yellow evening gown for a different event because he had the best selection in the mall of brightly colored wraps and accessories. Very kind and friendly, too!
Samir--thank you so much for providing me with beautiful clothes and educating me about the styles of clothing. read more
