Soumya Nandivada

I had my wedding blouses made here. Communicated with them over WhatsApp and their response was very good. So, I went ahead and placed an order. For the trial, I especially made a trip to Bangalore to avoid any mishaps. After I tried the blouses, I told them that they are too tight. Especially one of the blouses was extremely difficult to put on and remove. But they were completely unwilling to alter it saying a bride has to put up with it for a day. That if they remove an inch, the fit will not be great and so on. I raised my discomfort many times by they kept insisting. So I took their advise and left. Then what happened is every bride’s nightmare. During the wedding ceremony, when I had to extend my arms, the blouse tore at the back. The ceremony had to stop until a solution was found. My mom took one look at the blouse and told me it was very badly stitched. The quality of the lining used was not good, the finish was poor and overall it wasn’t worth the money. Both my blouses and the saree trims costed over 60K. I really don’t recommend this studio, sadly one of many that look good on social media and charge exorbitant prices. Perhaps they should understand that some of us don’t want to suck in our tummies and look like barbie dolls. Being comfortable is the most important prerequisite to feeling beautiful. If only the fashion industry could understand that!!

This place is really unprofessional for new customers. The fit of my blouse was way off - clearly shows base measurement was incorrect. They literally had to tuck an inch of my blouse to make it fit and obviously the complete look was compromised. And of course they dont value for customers time. I’m completely dissatisfied with the end product, be it the blouse or the saree kutchu. Vendor has extremely bad attitude towards customers concerns. They also deliver extremely close to your event dates and hence leaving no room for any fixes. I highly discourage trusting her with any special event outfits.

I had just come to India from Paris and did not know about her attitude, I went by her insta pictures. I ordered my wedding reception lehanga and a sangeet gown from Soumya and had a very bad experience! She quoted whopping 75000 Rs for lehanga, and 25000 Rs for the gown. And on spot I payed her 50%, despite paying I had to keep calling her after a month, since she had given no updates. She never even saved my number despite earning 1 lakh from a customer, I had to introduce myself every time I called and always got a negative reply. She recommended me a Sabyasachi referral and to my astonishment, what she promised and what she delivered was absolutely different. It was delivered just 2 days before wedding, I couldn’t even change anything, I requested her to make changes to only dupatta as it was a cheap net one but her attitude was very bad and never accepted to change a thing. She bought cheap read made borders for my skirt, but promised to make hand embroidery. A cheap net dupatta with cheap 50 rs border was attached to a bridal lehanga worth 75k! I had to roam several times to get things done and get a least update! Worst experience ever! We bloody pay a lakh and why should we take this kinda Attitude from some one like her . She troubles a lot if there are any fitting issues to be sorted . She definitely will spoil ur wedding day! Please be aware.

I had the dress exactly how I thought it would be at my wedding. All thanks to Soumya..

For my wedding reception, I couldn't find a dress I like after checking out few stores. I came across her on the app and wanted to try and loved her. Her collection is not very big, but every dress is unique and soo beautiful. She customised mine with all the changes I wanted including the colour. She even made the last minute alterations I needed. Price is also good compared to other stores. We went for my dress, but the whole family placed there orders.

I lived in Dubai & wanted a Bangalore based designer for my Cocktail lehenga. That’s when I came across Soumya’s profile on Insta. I got my mom to go meet her & we only told her the color that was on our mind (with no reference pics). Within weeks she got the perfect color in the desired fabric. We just told her the type of intricate design we wanted and once I landed I went for the final fitting. The dress was simply a dream come true. I’m definitely going back to her for more.

Soumya Nandivada designed wedding reception gown. I got to know her from a friend and I am happy that I did. Her designs are beautiful and authentic and embroidery is so intricate and well done. I fell in love with the dress as soon as I saw it on her website and decided that's what I will be wearing for my big day. It was easy to work with Soumya even though I was remote in US and she gave detailed explanation for taking measurement videos. She gracefully worked on experimenting with the colors that I requested, made swatches and sent pictures videos etc. Very nice to work with. The dress was ready on time as promised, and I was sooo happy when I first wore that dress, felt like a princess, it was perfect! There were some minor adjustments required in size and the cancan length. We waited in the studio for a couple of hours but then left since it required more time. Then I was asked to come at a certain time on another day, but when I went there Soumya wasn't there and her mother seemed to have no idea that i was coming, and I wasn't happy with the adjustments made(dress was sitting weirdly since the cancan length had been made too short) that threw me off a little bit coz I stayed pretty far off and had too many other things planned for the day since I had lots to do in very less time. But then Soumya came to studio and fixed everything like a charm and gave me this beautiful dress that I can't stop admiring :) So I could definitely look past the minor setback compared to all the other good experiences I had. I received so many compliments for the dress!!! Thank you Soumya for giving me the dream dress for my big day :) would definitely recommend her...
