Bombay Trendz is a store in the Brampton/Mississauga area. They sell high-end designer Indian clothes. Their clothes are truly beautiful.
However, there is a problem, which is what this post is about. It’s about their tailor, the exclusive tailor Bombay Trendz uses. If you ever visit Bombay Trendz, you will be blown away simply by their professionalism and display which is why their darzi has completely shocked me.
Under no circumstances, NEVER GIVE HER YOUR CLOTHES FOR ALTERATIONS! She completely butchered my outfit to the point where there were ‘accidental’ slices where she cut the suit … with scissors. Anyway, the Bombay Trendz people just said they would replace the suit. However, you could avoid it by simply NEVER USING THEIR TAILOR!
No, they didn’t give me any trouble … they were quite good about it. My shalwar is being ordered and will come within a month … and I got a gorgeous suit at a really low price.
so i showed up on her doorstep to pick up my shalwar cause she kept delaying giving me the new one. she wasn't home. her son was there and he called his parents and they told him where it was.
it looked different ... and it looked different but the colour was right (the week before she told me that they made it the wrong colour and she sent it back to India and would have the new one this week).
the kaam was slightly different ... it had sequins on it where it didn't have them before.
so, when we got home, we flipped it inside out and it was the same shalwar. all she did was she sewed up the cut and put sequins on it. stupid daisy's pen marks were still all over it. the cut is still there, you can see it clearly. it just has sequins stuck on it.
i hate stupid bombay trendz. divya is a damn liar.
Mehnaz soo sorry to hear that you had to go through this…I don’t mean to be racist and all but I don’t think indian woman/man taylors have any sense of sewing desi clothes…look at these crappy embroidery they wear…it looks awful. I might be wrong but I have had experience with 3 different sikh women here who ruined my dresses. And they were all receommended to me. Never ever I would get anything stiched by them. One of them I had to go back 3 times to her and explained clearly with drawing how i want it altered. When I got it back…it was still so bad, I came home and my mom fixed it
For some reason they won’t have sense of neatness and high standard stiching. Even a simple basic turpaaai is horrendous.
You should definitely make it known to them that you are aware of the stunt that they pulled.
Proprietors should learn that honesty counts for much more than they believe.
It's such a shame that you had to deal with this.....especially at a time when you really don't need additional hassles.
Jal Pari,
I don't think that you are being racist.....but I have to admit, I've had better experiences with non-Pakistani seamstresses and tailors than the Pakistani ones that I have found here.
In fact, the worst sari blouses that I have ever had made were stitched by Pakistani tailors. And not konay ki dukaan walay tailors but reputable ones that charged me an arm and a leg for the job.
Anyhow....it's always important to give any new tailor or seamstress a "sample" job to do. Something that you won't be too disappointed about. And never, ever, ever give them something that has a deadline if you haven't put them to the test before....
Muzna, the Bombay Trendz people don't give two craps. All I can do is try to warn others about Divya and Daisy.
I found a GREAT Pakistani seamstress here in Brampton. She made our blouses and the saree belts really good. There is a lot of 'safai' in her work unlike some other tailors we made the mistake of going to. She made the whole saree from head to toe excellent. Her name is Humeira ... I can give you her number if you want it.

Really? How much would she charge for a saree? Can u post the number or only PM it?
I think you should call her and speak directly with her. My mom thought it was reasonable, and my mother is not the type to get ripped off. I will PM the information.

Would you mind giving me Humeira's number too, please? I've noticed that her name has come up a few times but can't seem to get her number. I'm looking for a good Pakistani tailor in the Brampton area. Thanks!
