We had a wonderful experience here! The shop owner was so friendly and helpful from the moment we walked in. She helped us pick outfits to match the dress code of the wedding we’re attending and gave us tips on everything from shoes to hair styles. Absolutely would recommend this shop to anyone!

I have not had better customer service in a long time. Picking out clothing for myself and partner who was not with me. She was extremely patient and knowledgeable on exactly how to help us. Amazing hand made garments that are stunning and for all different occasions. I would highly recommend this business to anyone!! Thank you so much for your great service and beautiful clothes.

I can NOT say enough good things about Aunty Jean 🥰 She is the nicest, most honest, and truly caring person. My husband is Indian, obviously none of the rest of us are. Lol. We had an Indian reception after our American wedding and all needed appropriate attire, to say Aunty hooked us UP would be an a understatement. Originally I went, I got my saree (it was expensive [$600+ 😖], but she brings all her fabric back from India, and it’s silk, so I think $600 is justified). Then I sent my husband to get his sherwani (again, $300+, but quality justifies the price people). My parents, brother, and parents’ friends then went and got kurtas and salwar suits (these were all $150-275 depending on embellishments/fanciness haha). Aunty also altered my saree and when she found out no one near our reception knew how to properly wrap a silk saree, she had me bring it back so she could prep it. She was going to just come to our reception and do it for me until she found out it was 4 hours away! How stinkin sweet!?!! She taught me how to do it, pleated and pinned it so literally all I had to do was wrap it for our reception. She never hesitated to provide a ton of education to us about tradition, attire, etiquette, etc… some of which my husband didn’t even know! She wanted to make sure everything we were getting was ok with my in-laws and what they preferred given tradition, which was quite thoughtful. She also was trying to get us all in outfits that didn’t clash badly in photos and had this in mind without me even saying anything. TIP - If you’re going to her shop on the weekend, be sure to call ahead or make an appt to make sure she’s there as she’s often at weddings on the weekends. She’ll see you outside of her posted hours if you need and is super accommodating. As Aunty will tell you, she won’t let you leave in something she doesn’t like. So just listen to her and she won’t fail you 😂❤️ ALL of our outfits in the photos are from Aunty’s place! We’ll definitely be going back to Aunty for life whenever we need Indian attire.
