Saree and Salwar shoppping/tailoring in ernakulam

Hi everyone!!!

I will be visiting India in the month of December and wanted some suggestions for shopping in Ernakulam. Which is the best store for saree shopping? Which is the best store for readymade salwars? What about unstiches salwar materials?? How long do tailors usually take to stich a salwar?? Anyone knows the best tailors for saree blouses in kochi? Who is the best tailor for salwars in kochi?? Thank you for your suggestions:)

joy18, since ernakulam city is not as big as many other cities like chennai or b'lore, u will get everything within 5 km radius. Regarding dress materials, all types are available in the following big shops. Almost all the people go to these shops for sarees or salwar. Seematti , Jayalakshmi, parthas, kalyan etc etc. Then there r several boutiques in convent road if u r looking for designer types. Price everywhere is almost standard. Go to Eranakulam and ask anyone, they will give u the location of these shops.
If u r looking for good place to stitch salwar or saree blouse, best one is paris ladies tailoring. They have a shop in convent road and one in NH Bypass. It is expensive and takes time, but it is worth it. They have several branches in kerala and dubai. Hope this will help

paris will take real time.. and expensive too..
there are some tailors in eklm who can stitch blouse and salwar in an hr. for that the rate will be little high,
ready made salwar there is punjabi libas good look,twinkle etc.
even sheematti has some collection all depends on your taste.
