Wedding wear for the tiny tots : Stores to doll up the neice/nephew for your big day!

{This article features stores from Delhi and stores that are online} Since wedding and Diwali season is upon us, or will be soon enough {oh hello favourite time of year}, your offspring will need to get the dress code memo for the season. Since mini-me Anarkalis, Kurtas, and Lehengas without backless cholis, one too many sequins, and fabrics that poke more than pamper are hard to come by, we did some digging. In anticipation of the impending festivities, here are 10 places to help you add to your little one’s Indian outfit selection.

Lehengas from Madsam

Madsam Tinzin  The cutest little lehengas for kids from 1-7 years in pastel colors, with halter necks, soft fabrics and gorgeous dupattas. They don't come cheap starting at 5000 Rs per lehenga but theyr OMG delicious ! Where: Shahpur Jat, Delhi   Jainsons Tycoon | A staple and hugely popular store for Indian clothes for both children and adults, Jainsons is perfect for the less extravagant, more economical buy. They cater to all age groups, starting 0 years up, and have a wide variety ofkurtas, dhotis, lungis, lehengas and suits. Better still, since they cater to a wide audience, you’re likely to find the same kurta across sizes {father and son}, perfect for a matchy-matchy Diwali photo we know you’re dying to take. Where: N Block, GK-1 Market Delhi Price: INR 600 upwards Good Earth |  We know you associate Good Earth with all things household, but they do a near perfect line for children, complete with Indian inspired motifs, silhouettes and cuts. Although you won’t find the regular lehengas and suits, they do dokurtis, wrap around tops with matching pyjamas, and paisley print shirt and pants.

Almirah also does paisley and small animal printedkurtas for boys, and extends the same fabrics to summer dresses {too-die}, and top and bottom combos for little girls, all inspired from Indian fabrics. Perfect for summer dos, so your babies can breathe, stay clear of the chunnichocking hazard, and look even cuter. Throw in a matching diaper bag to complete the look. And for when they’ve outgrown their outfits, the stork is waiting in the wings. Where: 38 Meherchand Market and SG082, Galleria Market, Gurgaon Price: INR 800 upwards.
