Aari work and blouse stitching for Karungal and the Vilavancode side.
Ask about your designWork is done by hand in Nagercoil and finished pieces are returned to customers in Karungal. Send a photograph of the design on WhatsApp and you will get a straight answer on what it takes and what it costs.
Karungal and the villages on the Vilavancode side are at the far end of the district from Nagercoil, so the practical questions matter more here than the design ones.
Ordering without repeated trips
Everything except the fitting can be settled over WhatsApp. Send a photograph of the design, a photograph of the material, and the date you need it by, and you will have the cost and the timeline the same day.
For measurements, an old blouse that fits you well is the most reliable thing you can send - better than a tape reading taken at home. It travels with the material and comes back with the finished piece.
What is asked for
A mix of bridal and function work, and a fair amount of stitching-plus-work together, which is the sensible choice when you are not nearby: one person handling both means no second trip to a different shop and no design sitting an inch off where it should.
Be realistic about the calendar
Distance adds days at each end. If the wedding is five weeks away, that is comfortable. If it is twelve days away, say so at the start and you will get an honest yes or no rather than an optimistic yes.
How an order works
Nothing here needs a shop visit to begin. Most orders start and finish on WhatsApp.
- 01
Send the design
A photograph on WhatsApp is enough - something you have seen, saved from Instagram, or drawn. Tell us the date you need it by.
- 02
Get a straight answer
What it will take, what it will cost, and whether it can be done in the time you have. If it cannot, you will be told that rather than strung along.
- 03
Measurements or a blouse that fits
Come and be measured, or send an old blouse that fits you well. Bring your own material - most customers do, and it costs less.
- 04
The work itself
The design is traced, the fabric stretched on a frame, and every bead, stone and length of zari worked in by hand. Two to three weeks for bridal work.
