About Clothing Alteration & Tailoring
How I Work
I see every outfit as a chance to show off your personality. My job isn't just to stitch clothes, but to turn them into something you actually want to wear. If you've got a kurta that feels baggy or a lehenga that's just meh, I can fix it. I handle stuff like taking in the waist, adjusting hems, or making sleeves fall just right, so your clothes actually feel made for you. No more awkward fits or saggy shapes.
Bespoke Tailoring & Creative Upcycling
Got a Pinterest dream or an old saree you don't know what to do with? I love working with ideas—no matter how wild or simple. From sketching out designs to choosing pure fabrics and getting measurements with our digital tools, I make sure every piece feels personal. You can pick the color, change up the sleeves, or add some intricate embroidery. If you want, I’ll even turn your old dupatta into a new blouse. That’s jugadu (resourceful) tailoring.
What I Make
Women's wear: Bridal lehengas, custom blouses, gowns, anarkalis, palazzo sets, sarees—basically, anything you need for weddings, festivals or just to look good on a random Tuesday.
Men's wear: Sherwanis, Jodhpuri suits, and Indo-Western groom outfits. If you want designer suit fitting that stands out, I’ve got you.
The Real Deal
Usually, it takes me around 1 to 4 weeks to get a custom outfit ready, depending on the work involved. I put my heart into each piece, but sometimes, super intricate stuff takes a bit longer. What matters is that you walk away with an outfit that feels like it’s yours—down to the last thread.

My Story
Hey, we’re Shanaya Designer Boutique, chilling in Malad. Fashion’s not just clothes for us - it’s a vibe, yaar. Sometimes a bride walks in wanting her hubby’s name on her dupatta, sometimes it’s a wild jumpsuit for Haldi. We listen, laugh, sketch, and stitch till your story comes alive. Seeing you beam in the mirror? That’s the real magic. Here, you wear more than a dress – you wear your own story.
My Work
Designer Outfits for All Occasions - Lehengas, Indo-Western, prêt, ready sarees, sherwanis, Jodhpuri suits, matching family sets. All handcrafted.
Custom-Made, Just How You Want - Dream up any style, color, or neckline. We’ll stitch it for your perfect fit, not just off the rack.
Handcrafted by Skilled Karigars - No mass production here. Every piece gets hours of hand embroidery, mirror work, and zari.
For Big Moments & Main Characters - Brides, moms, party peeps – we make sure you’re the star. Expect those head-turning compliments!
