About Cocktail & Party Glam
Every custom piece here goes through at least two trial sessions—a raw fit and a final fit—so you aren't just hoping it looks good, you know it fits perfectly. Whether it is a strapless gown or a fitted dhoti set, I make sure the bodice is structured to stay in place, so you can dance all night without constantly pulling at your outfit.
Why buy an expensive outfit you will wear once? At The Big Closet, I want you to have the outfit of your dreams whether you decide to rent it or get it custom-made for keeps.
Why my Cocktail & Party collection works
- Rental vs. Custom: Renting is perfect for sangeet or pre-wedding shoots where you want a fresh look without the investment. If you want something that exists only in your head or on your Pinterest board, we custom-make it from scratch.
- Built-in Structure: You won't find flimsy stitching here. My gowns come with flexible bodice boning for shape, horsehair braid hemlines to keep those ruffles standing, and double can-can layers for that perfect ballgown volume.
- Upcycling Magic: Have a heavy saree sitting in your cupboard? Bring it to me. I can transform your mother's heirloom into a modern dhoti-skirt set or a chic co-ord set, giving it a new life while keeping the sentimental value intact.
The Process
It all starts with a quick chat. We discuss your event, your body type, and the vibe you want. I sketch the design, we select the fabric together—be it rich Micro Velvet, raw silk, or flowy organza—and we go into production. My team handles everything from the padding to the tassels. Whether you are in Mumbai or shipping across India, my goal is to ensure you feel like royalty in an outfit that is literally made for you.
The Big Closet
I'm Ria, and I believe looking like a million bucks shouldn't cost you a fortune. I love taking those wild Pinterest inspirations or your mother’s old saree and turning them into the modern cocktail look you've been dreaming of.
