A Must-Read Before You Book Your Next Stitch with EDarjee!

We get it. Getting a custom outfit stitched sounds super exciting—but one wrong move, and that dream outfit can turn into a fitting disaster. Whether it's a festive lehenga or a workwear kurta, avoid these 10 common mistakes people often make while giving their clothes for stitching.

Mistakes to Avoid While Giving Your Clothes for Stitching!

Let's make your next EDarjee order flawless! 💁‍♀️

❌ 1. Not Knowing What You Want

“Aap jaisa theek lage, waise bana do.” This line is a tailor’s nightmare. Always have a clear vision—Pinterest, Instagram, or even a rough sketch helps. Not knowing what you want leads to last-minute changes and dissatisfaction.

✅ EDarjee Tip: Share inspiration pictures with our designers during the consultation call!

❌ 2. Choosing the Wrong Fabric

Even the best design fails on the wrong fabric. For example, a mermaid-cut dress needs a stretchy material; making it from stiff cotton is a no-go.

✅ EDarjee Tip: Ask our experts if your fabric matches your selected design. We’ll guide you!

❌ 3. Not Mentioning the Occassion

An office kurta and a wedding kurta can look very different even if the design is similar. Your tailor must know where you plan to wear it.

✅ EDarjee Tip: Mention if it’s for daily wear, party, wedding, pre-wedding shoot, etc.

❌ 4. Giving Wrong or No Measurements

Your tailor is not a mind reader. Loose guesses or “meri last waali fitting jaisa bana do” often lead to poor fit.

✅ EDarjee Tip: Use our doorstep measurement service or video call support to ensure accuracy.

❌ 5. Ignoring the Inner Lining

People often skip lining to save cost or because they "don’t think it’s needed." Result? See-through outfits or uncomfortable fits.

✅ EDarjee Tip: Let us recommend lining where necessary—we prioritize both comfort and class!

❌ 6. Forgetting to Discuss Small Customisations

Want pockets? Side zip? Hidden buttons? Balloon sleeves? If you don’t say it, it won’t be there.

✅ EDarjee Tip: Mention every small detail when you share your reference or during call with our team.

❌ 7. Giving Torn or Stained Fabric

This might seem obvious, but we’ve seen it happen. Don’t send fabrics with tears, stains, or unfinished edges without informing us.

✅ EDarjee Tip: Our team will inspect the fabric before stitching and inform you if anything needs attention.

❌ 8. Not Keeping Extra Fabric for Alterations

Sometimes your body changes—or you just want a slightly different fit. Without extra fabric, alterations can be tricky.

✅ EDarjee Tip: Always give a little more fabric than required, especially for heavy or tight-fit outfits.

❌ 9. Setting Unrealistic Timelines

Stitching takes time—especially if it involves design elements, embellishments, or custom fittings.

✅ EDarjee Tip: For urgent orders, use EDarjee Express—but let us know in advance!

❌ 10. Not Communicating After Booking

A lot of people book and forget. But tailoring is a two-way street! Delays often happen when we don’t get approvals or measurements on time.

✅ EDarjee Tip: Stay active on WhatsApp, approve drafts, and track your order through our updates.

🎉Hence, Stitching Smart = Dressing Smart

Getting an outfit stitched is like co-creating art. You dream it, we bring it to life. Just avoid these small mistakes, and your next outfit from EDarjee will feel like a designer piece straight off the runway.
