This Koramangala Boutique Will Stitch You Clothes At Rates Starting As Low As INR 400

In desperate times or when you want a custom-made ethnic wear, Polka Dots in Koramangala your go-to place. Need a kurti stitched? Or an elaborate lehenga? Or just add a fall to your new saree? Everything is done at pocket-friendly rates here.

Located on 5th Block Koramangala, diagonally opposite the Naati Manae restaurant, this nondescript tailoring shop is one place that you need to put on your speed dial. A large signboard screaming “Polka Dots” is your marker and once you enter through the door, you are welcomed into a room with piles of stitched clothes neatly arranged on one side, on shelves. If you snoop around, you will find kurtis, blouses, skirts, tops, and the likes amongst them. And that’s exactly what you can get stitched as well.

Mrs Agarwal, who runs the place along with a team of tailors is usually in the store during afternoons, fussing over a stitching pattern or giving instructions. She’s your go-to person who will help you with all your stitching needs, however small or elaborate. While there are a few fabrics available in the store for you to purchase by the meter, you are more than welcome to bring your own, design ideas and all that jazz. She’s been at this game for close to a decade, so you can rest assured that the finishing would be perfect and just the way you wanted.

Stitching charges are according to the work, with simple kurtis and kurtas costing just around INR 400. A blouse piece and simple lining for sarees also cost just as much. Extensive work for lehengas cost INR 900 and upwards, with dresses costing in the INR 800 range. The fabric prices start at INR 150 per meter. The stitching period is usually between three to seven working days, with simpler jobs taking less time.

Usually, Mrs Agarwal works from home and in case you want to meet her then it’s advisable that you call in advance and book an appointment before you go to the shop. You can contact her on +91 9880936156.
