Finding the Best Boutique in Yeshwanthpur and Mathikere
· by Pallavi Nikhlish
North Bangalore has plenty of tailoring shops, and telling them apart is hard until an order goes wrong. These are the five things worth checking before you hand over your saree.
1. Is the embroidery done in-house?
Many shops send aari work to third parties, which is where delays and mismatched motifs come from. Ask to see the embroidery frame. At Lisha Boutique all aari and zardosi work happens in our own atelier.
2. Do they offer a trial fitting?
A trial before final finishing is the difference between a blouse you wear once and one you keep re-wearing. We include fit adjustments after your trial.
3. Are the timelines honest?
Real numbers: 3–5 days for simple stitching, 10–15 days for embroidery. Anyone promising heavy bridal aari in three days is outsourcing it.
4. Can you see real work, not catalogue photos?
Ask for photos of pieces they actually delivered. Our gallery is entirely work stitched and embroidered for our own customers.
5. Is it easy to reach?
We are on HMT Main Road in Mathikere, above Paragon Shoe Showroom — about ten minutes from Yeshwanthpur, and close to Malleshwaram, Jalahalli and RT Nagar. Open Monday to Saturday, 10:30 AM to 8:30 PM.
