Very disappointed
When it comes to apparel, the following seems to hold true---you like the design and quality but the fit isn't right.With this order, the reverse was true for me. The fit was just right but the product was completely transparent and the design was not great quality.Furthermore, there were rainbow colored "shimmer like" decals affixed to the tunic which in my opinion cheapened the design.The embroidery seems like it can snag and fall apart. The collar has a 3 button design but they do not open. It was even difficult to get my head through the opening of the kurta.Sending back.

All I would like is a full refund on all the clothing
The run around I am getting is not helpful. All the items I have ordered are too small in the chest/bust and under the arms! There isn't enough material to have them taken out by a seamstress. Which I should not have to do anyway nor should I have to take pictures of how tight the clothing is. All I would like is a full refund on all the clothing. You received your money from me, why can't it be refunded as soon as you get the clothing back?

The kurti is as beautiful as in the picture.
I just received my kurti and love it. The color is true to the picture. My bust size is 34, I am 5'5" 115 lbs. I usually wear small to medium tops, but I ordered a large and the fit is wonderful.I love everything about this kurti. It is sheer with side slits, the hem comes approximately 5" above my knees, the fit is straight. If I could find a slip or camisole long enough and less sheer, this kurti could be worn as a dress in the summer months.The kurti is delicate and sheer. It has sequins tastefully sewn onto the garment. The product description I read before I ordered is very accurate. I love this top can't wait to find a nice royal blue camisole to go underneath so I can wear this beautiful kurti.

The color was nothing like the picture
The color was nothing like the picture. It was more of a darker reddish pink. But what really bothered me was that the stitching was very sloppy. The slit on side was atleast an inch longer than the other side. I sent it back.

Read the description
It is completely see through so you will have to wear a white shirt underneath it. I didn't read that in the title. I expected it to be a bit longer though as it stops just above my hips but I am also 5'10" tall.

Awesome it is!!
Beautiful tunic and looks even prettier than the pic displayed here. The colors are just awesome, I bought yellow and red. Only one thing the material is thin and delicate. So, one has to wear a camisole inside. It has sequence all over the work and looks just perfect for a casual outing or for a party. Overall just loved it!!
