What Makes It Awesome

Nothing can be more comforting that wearing a cotton dress custom-made as per your body type.  Drop by Prints and Weaves in Kankurgachi and check out their range of skin-friendly fabrics with super quirky prints.

Admit it, we wouldn't mind having a personal stylist. Someone who perfectly understands our body type and designs accordingly without having to worry about fashion faux pas. We found one such in the form of a physical store in Kankurgachi.

Upon entering we were quite impressed with their neatly stacked fabric collection. So whether you're a boho chic looking for quirky prints or is a handloom fanatic, they have it all. Their range is equally impressive - floral motifs, ikkat, stripes, cartoon prints, digital prints, chevron print, kalamkari, and even hand-painted ones in vibrant hues and pastel shades. 

They provide bespoke tailoring options as well. Just select your desired fabric and get it stitched into a custom-made dress, gowns, shirts, jumpsuits, kurtas and even jackets, blazers and kurtas for men. These fabrics start from INR 95 per metre and range up to INR 2,400.

They also stock chic range of saris and dupattas. From handloom, linen, silk to even benarasis, these are drool-worthy and start from INR 400 to INR 10,000. The store believes in a no-wastage policy so all the extra fabrics are recycled into envelopes, rugs and even flower pots (slow claps!)

What Could Be Better

All the ready-made options available in the shop are mainly for reference purpose.
