What is your experience with Indian fashion?

To be clear, before being in a relationship with an Indian man, Akshay, I had no experience whatsoever with Indian fashion-- except to adore it from afar. It was stunning and intimidating; complex and classic; rich and regal. It wasn’t something I ever thought I would get to wear or understand fully, but (like so many women I’ve spoken to) the mere thought of donning Indian clothing, or attending an Indian event, feels almost universally whimsical and exciting.

What Indian occasion were you attending?

Lucky me that I have now been to two weddings where traditional Indian clothing was expected. The first was a rehearsal dinner / welcome party (an ode to the mother of the bride, who is Indian), and a more traditional full Indian wedding and ceremony, with changes between the marriage ceremony itself and the reception later that evening.

Did you seek advice in order to find Indian outfits?

One of my friend recommended Mohi Fashion to me, I contacted Mohi Fashion and their team helped me for selecting outfits from their wide range of lehengas and sarees for the above events. The team guided me through appropriate colors, styles and fit for each of the above events

I am very happy -- if it wasn’t Mohi Fashion I would have no idea where to start.

What was your experience like shopping in India?

Mumbai is at once exhilarating and overwhelming, and shopping for saris felt the same. We went to Seasons AND TK, and were quickly shuffled to upper and lower levels where we pulled out attractive fabrics, stood on platforms, and wrapped into what a sari might look like. When I had selected what fabric I wanted and was measured sufficiently. The custom-made sari was delivered to our hotel days later-- it fit perfectly and I completely love it… That said, if I hadn’t had a literal guide through the process, I don’t think I would have even tried to shop for a custom sari-- despite being there for a wedding, I still didn’t feel like I knew what was appropriate, what was fashionable, and what questions were worth asking to the gentlemen fitting us.
