Being well-tailored is not merely about finding a tailor with a measuring tape at the ready. It involves understanding which material goes best for a summer wedding, what is the correct price that a lehenga should have for its stitching, and why your last kurta did not fit your shoulders properly.

All that and much more is the reason why this blog exists. No frills, no jargon, just actionable stitching and styling advice from people who are in this game all-day, everyday, for a living, and who are in Delhi NCR.

If you are reading this, we assume you are not familiar with this website. This is a one-stop point to navigate to all that the Tailorboutiques.com has to offer regarding stitching. You can expect all the topics listed below, one by one, to be elaborated upon in separate blogs as we move along, so please bookmark this page and come back regularly.

What This Blog Is About

We want to categorize all these things into various buckets, so you don’t need to read through each one to find what you are looking for.

  • Fabric guide: What fabrics to pick and how to identify good quality fabric

  • Measurements and fitting tips: How to take your measurements yourself correctly

  • Design ideas for all type of suits and dresses: Ideas of designs for women blouses and dresses as well as mens garment

  • Stitching price guides: What prices should good tailors actually charge for men and for women

  • Alteration and garment care: How to ensure your stitched garments lasts for life

Let’s explore each bucket.

Fabric Guides: Understand the Fabric

Most fitting problems every time are not with the tailor. Sometime they begin with the fabric.

A saree in soft georgette always will drape and looks differently than a saree in stiff and non-stretch fabrics like Banarasi silk. A lehenga in raw silk will have much more structure than one in chiffon. Even the best stitching is unlikely to save a garment when a material that doesn’t flow is chosen for an evening wedding, or something that flows too much is used for a winter wedding.

This section of the blog will cover all basics: Cotton versus linen for daily office wear; which fabric breathes better than others, especially in the summers of Delhi; and what fabric is actually good versus what is just a sales gimmick. Fabric care is also essential, because once you have stitched your garments, it is good to know the fabric care process for silk, velvet, georgette, and any other fabric.

Measurement and Fitting Tips

A great fitting is not often a result of good luck. It usually depends on how the tailor’s measurements were taken.

In this segment we will explain why step by steps of measurement is not a joke versus just taking tape around the waist and other body parts, how body posture and hand and shoulder movements can affect your fit in a blouse or kurti and the common errors you may commit while taking your measurements yourself for online orders.

We will also discuss the ideal fitting trials and what should go into each one before final stitching is done; these are things that most people do not think about until it’s too late to alter.

Design Ideas: Which Designs Are Worth To Custom Stitching

For Women

For us, we mean blouse designs with different designs and styles of sarees; indo western suits which balance tradition and practicality and lehengas are ideal for brides, beyond what is trending on Instagram and other social media handles.

We will also touch upon how we revamp an old Banarasi and silk to wear again and which type of cuts and kalis anarkali work best with your body.

For Men

We will go over the basics of a well-tailored suit to those who don’t have any experience of having one stitched, when you should prefer a sherwani as opposed to a bandhgala (jodhpuri) for a wedding, and how to build a small wardrobe of good suits rather than five mediocre ones for office wear.

For kids as well

We will also cover garments, style and new fashion for kids as well.

Stitching Price Guides: What Should I Pay?

This is probably the bucket everyone is searching for, but not finding honest answers to!

Here we will go through real pricing for each type of stitching, from a simple blouses to a two piece suit to three-piece suits to full bridal wear clothing, including where lining, piping prices get added in the final billing and why it shouldn’t come as a shock when you pick up your dress.

To summarise, all these guides will help you budget for your stitching better when you choose to have us do any work for you.

Alteration and Garment Care

Most clothes are not meant to get stitched fresh, but to be fitted again and made good as new. A simple hem, taking in a suit, and correcting the fit can do wonders.

We will discuss whether or not your stitched garments need alterations; how to store your embroidered, hand-worked outfits such that they don’t lose shape, and habits that you can build, which will make your custom-stitched outfit last years longer, especially with your bridal outfit that gets worn, maybe, once or twice a year!

More Coming Soon

We’ll be adding a new, complete guide to our blog, one at a time, as we go, no filler, just value.

If there is any specific area that you want us to cover, any fabric questions, fitting dilemmas, or trying to make sense of prices you’ve been given, feel free to message us at WhatsApp 8448448089 and we’ll try our best to cover these topics in an upcoming article.
