Behind the Scenes: Our Workshop Process
Ever wonder how a rental outfit fits you like it was made for you? Take a look at how we prep every piece in our Lajpat Nagar workshop.
This video gives a full tour of our rental outfit preparation process. It starts with custom fitting by our masterji, followed by dry cleaning, lint removal for a flawless finish, and finally a thorough steam press.
Customization is our priority, even when it takes time. Here, our masterji is working on a complex alteration for a rental lehenga, including increasing the blouse length, adding a border, and covering the neckline.
A couple's outfits being customized together. Our masterji is altering a men's Indo-Western suit and a floral lehenga, reducing the blouse size from plus size to 36 and adding a lace layer to make the neckline smaller.
A busy day at the workshop. Our masterji is cutting a new men's kurta before starting on five different blouse alterations, including adding and removing sleeves and adjusting necklines for outfits due the next day.
Designing a new blouse from scratch. We're sketching out a V-neck design with a back bow for this baby blue lehenga, ensuring we leave plenty of margin since it's being made for our rental collection.
This lehenga got booked for rent while it was still being made. Our masterji is rushing to finish the border so we can get the blouse stitched and have the full outfit ready for the client's event.
A semi-bridal blouse getting ready for an engagement. We're instructing our masterji to leave ample margin for future alterations and to ensure the border is stitched cleanly for a beautiful finish.
Watch our masterji craft a beautiful chickenkari dushala (shawl) for a sherwani. The intricate lace work and detailing make it a truly royal accessory, perfect for a groom's wedding attire.
We're creating a new trail gown, perfect for pre-wedding shoots. Our team is discussing the design with the masterji, planning for pressed pleats, cold-shoulder details, and a wide belt.
Another blouse in the making. We're guiding our masterji on creating a unique shoulder design with shaped fabric darts to complement the embroidered V-neck blouse.
About From Our Workshop
Ever wonder how a rental outfit fits like it was made for you? It is not magic, it is our masterjis working on the floor. Whether you need an extra inch of margin for a last-minute change or a specific neckline adjustment, we do it right here at our Lajpat Nagar workshop. Before anything hits our rack, it goes through a 3-step hygiene process and a thorough hardware check, so you only get clothes that feel and look brand new.
How We Make It Work
We know the biggest fear with renting is the fit. That is why we do not just store clothes, we actively construct and tailor them. Our workshop is the heartbeat of what we do. When you pick an outfit, we do not just hand it over. Our masterjis step in to ensure the bodice, the hemline, and the sleeves align with your exact measurements.
Customization Beyond the Basics
We don't believe in 'one size fits all.' From shrinking blouses for a petite frame to adding extra margins for plus-size requirements, we have the flexibility to adjust. If you want a deeper neckline, a specific sleeve style, or need to add a can-can for extra volume, just let us know. These structural tweaks happen in-house, which means we can handle them fast, even for your last-minute wedding emergencies.
Hygiene First
We take cleanliness seriously. Every outfit that returns to our workshop goes through a 3-step preparation cycle: professional dry cleaning, mechanical lint removal to keep the fabric smooth, and high-pressure steam ironing. We check every zip, hook, and latkan before the outfit leaves our door. We want you to focus on your event, not on whether your outfit is clean or ready.
