This ensures the fabric doesn't sag or lose its shape, giving you a structured, crisp look that feels solid and durable rather than thin or flimsy. We do not just cut your fabric. Our process starts by mapping out your shawl's existing embroidery. We ensure the main motifs sit perfectly on your chest, while the border details are preserved along the placket and pocket lips. Whether it is a family heirloom or a gift, we take care to maintain the integrity of the original design. Every Koti is constructed for daily utility as well as style. We include three reinforced pockets—one chest pocket and two waist pockets—finished with hand-hemmed edges. We offer a standard fit that drops about 6 inches below the hip, but we customize this based on your preference. Since we operate out of Bhendi Bazaar but serve clients globally, fit is our priority. Even if you cannot visit us, we guide you through a simple process to take measurements from a garment you already own, ensuring a 99% accuracy rate. Send us your shawl, and we will turn it into something you will actually wear. ## About Avon Tailoring I am Abdulqadir, and at Avon Tailoring, we treat your shawls with the respect they deserve. We turn these sentimental pieces into comfortable, well-structured waistcoats that you can wear with pride every day.
