Harkiran Basra

Harkiran Basra, hands down to her creativity and commitment to work. My bridal lehnga was a piece of art as said by my family and friends. Harkiran made my lehnga as I visioned, the personalizations and key to detail is to the finest. I loved how she asked me to write the words in my handwriting so she can have the embroidery done as is. I would have never thought of it. She is not just a regular bridal vendor, she will put her complete efforts to create a master piece for your big day. One thing I would like to suggest to all the brides to be is book in a year advance because there are so many things you are working on and your outfit is not something you would want to be stressing about. Best decision I have ever made was to get Harkiran create my bridal lehnga. God bless and much love to you Harkiran!!!

Definitely not an easy choice for me to make when it comes to decide an outfit especially for own wedding. It was stressful time. Me and husband discussed and changed our mind more than 100 times on what outfits will look like and hardest part was to choose colour. From white, blue, purple, maroon and green, we decided on green. I love greens and so does my husband. But then there is not one kind of green !! You have so many different options to choose from light, dark, emerald, mint and many more… Then we did some search on colour contrasts and throughout the process @harkiranbasra was involved. I am so glad i could discuss everything very openly with her and she have helped me alot! Finally we had our colour.I wanted my lehnga with 8 metre flare and fully embroidered. (If you know me i like simple outfits more over fully embroidered) this was the time to do something different 😁🤣. It was totally worth it! I am so glad with colour choice we made and the way it looked. @harkiranbasra is my favourite designer when it comes to wedding lehnga and was best ever decision i chose her. Without any doubt i knew whatever the outcome will be i will love it. When i first saw my lehnga it was beyond my imagination!!

Average experience with miss Basra .. she is overpriced … even she always trying to fight with other vendors too .. but she made my dress perfect …

I struggled with whether or not to write this review. I do not want to disparage anyone but if this review saves even one bride/family from going through what my family went through it will be worth it. I have been following Harkiran for a few years, when my sister got engaged I showed her Harkian's instagram and she fell in love with one of Harkiran's designs. My mom was very hesitant as she has heard horror stories from people about missing orders etc. To ease my mom's concerns we had a long talk with Harkiran in November 2021. She walked us through the process, my sister's wedding was in May 2022. She stated she would start making the outfits in mid march. We would get multiple samples of work, colors etc to make sure we were happy with everything. Everything was very methodical, my mom told her even though the wedding was in May we were going to be travelling 2 weeks before the wedding and would need the outfits by last week of April. She agreed this would be no problem. In all we ordered 7 outfits, 2 for the bride and 5 for members of the bridal party. We finalized and paid deposit in December 2021. Measurements for all outfits were sent in December 2021. We live in the US and made it clear we would need outfits in a timely fashion as we expected some minor tailoring adjustments would be needed My mom asked for updates frequently and was reminded she would not start until March. We waited until March to request updates again. She told us dupattas from 4 of the other outfits were on their way (after multiple repetitive texts about them), we asked for updates on bridal outfits and received no real answer except on March 21 when she told us we were on track for delivery in Mid April. We texted, called, emailed near daily. On April 7 she told us we were on track for delivery at the end of April. We asked for pictures. On April 8 she told us she would said pictures the following week. We never received sample colors or embroidery swatches (except from her swatch book but never the outfit as promised). The last week of april she was asking us to clarify measurements (we sent these in December). Ignoring our concerned messages about delivery time. She finally responded to an email on 5/2 and stated "don't worry everything will be done, it's just that it's taking longer than expected". On 5/2 she told us the suits would be done by 5/7 and shipped (wedding date of 5/21+22). On 5/6 she told us they would not be done until 5/14 and she would be sending them to NY (wedding in Michigan) with her family friends and we would need to make arrangements to get them from NY to Michigan. She also told us this friend was uncomfortable taking the outfits but she had convinced them to do so. As you can imagine the stress levels were so high. My sister (the bride) was in tears daily. My dad was able to get in touch with a friend of his who was leaving India 5/10 for USA. We begged her to finish the outfits by 5/10, she told us she could not do this. My dad was able to convince his friend to change his flight to 5/16 to wait for the outfits. On 5/13 (24 hours before pick up and before ANY completion pictures had been sent) she demanded we pay the balance of what we owed her. At this point she did not even tell us what the final cost of the bridal outfits were. We had already paid a hefty deposit. I immediately left work to try to find the fastest wiring service but as she told us on a Friday that she needed immediate payment our options were limited. The fastest transfer I could get was Monday but she said no her "investors" would not allow her to release the outfits without immediate payment. We then paid rush fees to transfer money to my cousins (over 400,000 INR). We understand she needed payment but do not understand why she waited until the last minute to ask us, adding more stress to a stressful situation. She told us riots and Eid were the reason our outfits (that were ordered and deposit paid in December) were delayed. We ordered several other outfits from Chandigarh, Ludhiana and Mumbai. All reached on time, no one else made excuses. My sister's wedding outfit was beautiful and perfect. Her reception outfit was not what she asked for but acceptable. We received outfits 2 days before her wedding. Rushed to find matching accessories for the reception outfit which was different tones than we asked for. We were unable to find a tailor who could make adjustments to the outfits in such a short time period. With flight change fees, rush shipping, transfer fees it cost us an additional 230,000 INR to receive the outfits. We could have purchased a few additional outfits with this money. Harkiran gave us a discount of 6,000 INR to makeup for all she put us through. She promised us "extras", none of that was received either. I hope this review helps any bride from overseas who is ordering, if you order from Harkiran please stay on top of deadlines and do not accept her excuses, demand proof outfits have been started and follow up frequently. She put us through so much stress on what should have been a happy time. Edit to rebut claims by Harkiran. “Agreed upon date” was never May 15! (Wedding May 21). No extras were given. Suit prices were adjusted bc she failed to make what she promised. The only unprecedented event was that she lied to us and failed to deliver our order on time. Again as we had sent thousands of US dollars to her already we had no problem making payment but she did not even show us completion pictures until May 13, she did not even give us a total until May 13. Where we to guess what we owed?

To be honest i dont really know where to start. I remember that i saw harkiran’s page on instagram and i loved all her designs. I started talking to her in 2018 😬 , even though nothing was finilised but one thing i was sure that i will be Basra’s Bride. Finally day came in 2022 when i finally recieved both my Wedding and reception lehnga also My Man’s Sherwani. No words can actully describe what she does, Like i said to her over the phone, tuhade Lehnge bolde a like them need no introduction or reference. Harkiran and i talked few times over the phone and she told me from your voice i know what you need ( truly i was so confused about design i want) She created two beautiful peacocks on my wedding lehenga and told me its you and your raman. I was crying with happiness of her thoughts she puts in. I gave her my budget which she went over (ofcourse she told me advance about) but when i saw all our outfits my mind was blown away with quality, the details (i was like even if i had paid alot more i would not mind at all) No one could do what she did for me.i mean how do you do it. Also those 🦚 on raman’s palla. And thank you for stunning reception lehenga as well. Twirl twirl was all i did for two days and could not get enough of flare❤️❤️ @harkiran Basra kindly book my orders for all big events of my lifetime. God bless you. You are such a vibrant and pure soul. Make every bride a proud Harkiran Basra’s bride like i am❤️❤️❤️

THANK YOU so much for creating my outfit to perfection! One of the main reasons I wanted you to create my outfit is your eye for detail. I am so happy I let you do your thing because I fell in love with the design you came up with. The fitting was on point - Master ji did an amazing job! The colour...OMG! I don't know what to say. It was so beautiful and unique, everyone fell in love with it. It was so comfortable and during the laavan I was stress-free and didn't have to worry about anything. I am so glad you decided to go with a heavier dupptha instead the original plan. It was so beautiful and I was so mesmerised by it. The flare. OMG GIRLLLL. You killed it with the flare of the anarkarli. Everyone was so shocked that there was no can can how is it possible for such a perfect flare. I was so happy with it!!🧡🧡🧡 Too be honest when I look at the photos, I am still blown away by the outfit. Thank you so much to the entire team ❤️ Lots of love Karanjot💕
