Simaaya Fashions - Online Saree Shopping For The Wedding Season

Shopping online for sarees, absolutely not - that is what my mom and dadi would say. You have no idea what fabric you are actually going to get and the colors are always off.

Well not anymore. I am a die hard online shopper. I hate having to wait in cues to try out things and detest the crowds in markets. And so it was a relief when my online saree purchase turned out successful!

This year during the fall season I have a cousin's wedding to attend. While searching for latest designs in sarees I came across Simaaya Fashions. I am helping my cousin do her shopping and wanted to purchase a single piece to make sure the quality is good enough. After browsing their website I narrowed down on one saree that looked nice and festive to me.

The saree came wrapped in a plastic cover safely placed inside a cardboard box.

A few days back I tried my hand at a website that sells Indian traditional attire. I am very skeptical about material and workmanship while purchasing Indian outfits online but I really liked this piece while browsing online and so took the plunge.

Sareez.com has a huge array of Indian wear. Sarees, salwar suits, and even lehnga cholis. Each category then has many subcategories like printed sarees, embroidered sarees, anarkali suits, straight suits etc. You can filter on price, workmanship, color, material as well as occasion.

The best part is that the site caters to a huge budget range as well. Sarees start at a Rs 1000 for cotton sarees.

I got a Chiffon saree which is navy blue in color and the pallu is a fuscia pink butta work. The saree has very pretty embroidery with resham and zari thread. It has a stripe work and patch patti border. The saree is not pure chiffon (hence the lower price range).

Normally products are shipped in 25 days because they custom stitch it to your size. But if you are in a hurry (like me!) they have this special range of 7 day products. These products are shipped to you within 7 days. If you buy a saree they even stitch the blouse for you. I did not get mine stitched because I have other plans for this saree. Will share the final stitched product once it is ready and I am wearing it :)
