Wouldn't you just love it if you could be your own designer sometime? You get something stitched exactly as you want to - style, colour, design, everything. Sure, this requires you to have access to a good tailor and God knows you need one in life (just like a good barber, a good doctor, a good cook). But once you find a decent tailor who understands and can implement exactly what you want, what next?
Well, you undertake one of the most fun activities ever: fabric hunting. I know it sounds taxing but trust you me, it is a fun way to spend a day - out in the market looking at different kinds of prints, colours, clothes, and wondering what you can get stitched from these.
And if you are inspired already, here are three fabric markets in Delhi to get you going.
Nehru Place
Yes, lads and ladies, electric items and gadgets aren't the only things that this market can boast of. Take a turn and you will find shop after shop that will help you to all kinds of fabrics for all sorts of things you want to get made - keep an eye out for quirky prints especially.
Mohan Singh Place
Not just fabrics, you will also find some tailors in this building in Connaught Place. Mostly known for place where you can gets denims stitched (and then add a brand tag to them), Mohan Singh Place also offers fabrics for other things.
Silampur Market
A place where international and local boutique owners flock for a wide range of fabrics; you want checks, zari fabric, cotton, brocade? They have it all. If you buy in bulk, you can bargain of course.
So, ready to give your wardrobe a makeover?
