Mitaish Boutique — Fashion, Stitching & Tailoring Tips

Lehengas and anarkalis are two of the most requested garments at Mitaish Boutique in Avadi — for weddings, engagements, receptions, festivals, and college functions. But many customers come to us confused about the process — how long it takes, what fabric to bring, and what style will suit them best. This post answers all of it. Lehenga Stitching — What You Need to Know A lehenga has three components: the skirt (lehenga), the blouse (choli), and the dupatta. Each requires separate attention. The Lehenga Skirt: The skirt is the most fabric-intensive part. A full flared lehenga typically requires 5 to 8 metres of fabric depending on the number of layers and flare desired. The waistband must fit perfectly — too loose and it drops, too tight and it is uncomfortable for long events. At Mitaish, we stitch both: Simple layered lehengas — 2 to 3 layers with basic flare, ideal for college functions and casual occasions Bridal lehengas — heavily layered with cancan underskirt for...

Starting a home tailoring business in Chennai is one of the most practical and rewarding ways for women to build financial independence — especially in areas like Avadi, Ambattur, Padi, and Thiruvallur where demand for quality local stitching is consistently high. But where do you start? What do you need? And how do you get your first customers? This guide answers all of that practically, based on what we see our students do successfully after completing courses at Mitaish Fashion Designing Institute in Avadi . Step 1 — Get Properly Trained First The most common mistake people make is buying a machine and starting without proper training. You can stitch — but can you stitch a princess cut blouse correctly? Can you handle a bridal lehenga? Can you do alterations without ruining a garment? Proper training is what separates a home stitcher from a home-based professional. A Diploma in Tailoring covers 45 garments over 3 months and gives you the confidence and skill to handle any cust...

Your wedding blouse is not just a piece of clothing. It is the most photographed, most noticed, and most remembered part of your bridal look. Getting it right requires skill, patience, and a boutique that understands bridal wear deeply. At Mitaish Boutique in Avadi, Chennai, bridal blouse stitching is one of our most specialised services — and in this post we want to walk you through exactly what the process looks like, so you know what to expect before you book your appointment. What Makes a Bridal Blouse Different from a Regular Blouse? A regular blouse is stitched to fit. A bridal blouse is stitched to impress. The differences are significant: The fabric is heavier — raw silk, brocade, velvet, or heavily embroidered fabric requires different handling The embellishments are denser — aari work, stone setting, mirror work, and thread embroidery all need to be handled without distorting the fit The fit must be perfect — bridal blouses are worn for long hours at multiple e...
