I usually never post bad reviews of people but I just had a terrible experience with Ansab Jahangir.
I ordered a lehnga choli from her to wear at my brother’s wedding and it turned out to be a disappointment. First of all she was terrible at responding and listening to requests, I had to send her multiple messages before I could even get a response from her. I have ordered from several other designers who are extremely kind and do a great job so it was a surprise to me that someone could do treat a client and do the work that she did.
I picked out an outfit straight from her pictures she had posted online and just changed the colors. She charged me Rs 50,000 for it and my outfit turned out to have MUCHHH less work than the one I ordered. It didn’t look like it cost more than Rs 10,000 to make at most. When I asked her why the work on the outfit was different than the one I ordered her response was, “When you customize an outfit it can turn out different” And then after arguing with her that I only customized the color and that there was a difference in the kaam she said “those details were an extra charge.” It was so ridiculous, she never notified me of such a thing when I was placing the order.
I told her to make the outfit according to a 5’5 person (even though I’m 5’4) and I told her to make it so that I won’t have any skin showing. I like the look of the shorter choli as long as the lehnga is long enough to come up higher and cover. Instead I got a choli that was super short and the lehnga was so short that if I brought it up then my ankles were showing. I had to go an buy very wide lace to attach to the bottom of the choli in order for it to be wearable. When confronted about this her response was “This is standard size for 5’5 so its not our fault.” Also to add to this horrible experience the zip she added to the side of the choli was of terrible quality and wouldn’t even close no matter what I did. On the day of my brother’s mehndi I had to get sewn into the choli to even wear it.
She had a lame excuse for any criticism I had of the outfit and would not apologize. She literally treated me as if she did me a favor by making me an outfit. I don’t know if she’s just too busy with her life to put any effort into her clients’ dresses.
It wasn’t an ugly outfit but for the amount of trouble I went through and the lack of effort on her part it definitely was not worth the money I paid her.
I definitely won’t be ordering from her again and I wanted to write this review so that others could beware.
