Stitching Time

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.
