I can say i am well qualified to write this review, as i have brought my very expensive wedding lengha from here as well as other outfits.
I have previously brought from this shop on a few ocassions but only off the rack suits and not anything that was going back to india to get made etc. I brought a £3500 lengha from this place, only for it to come back 3 weeks before my wedding and looking rather different to what i initially ordered. I did tell the boss, but she in turn told me that i had "forgotton" what my outfit looked like. LIES, i would not forget a thing like this and neither would my mum who was with me when i ordered my outfit. Without any proof on my part and having parted with my money, i had to make do!!! I expected more from this place, and since i paid so much money for my wedding outfit i expected it to be of high quality. The skirt and scarf i had already taken home, but the blouse was to be sewn in india. It came back with loads and loads of heavy stone work, the original blouse was confortable and light weight with some tastefully placed stone work. As i suffer from a bad back, and i had to wear this heavy amour looking blouse for 6 HOURS. I had large bruises all over my chest and neck due to the shear weight of the blouse, and i had bad back pain for a couple of weeks after too. I dont understand why they would make such a blouse and also why they altered my original blouse so much that it was completely different? Did they lose it in the post? Did it get damaged? I will never know. This heavy blouse also gave me no shape what so ever, making me look like i had no waist. What a disaster. Overall the blouse looked nice and i got lots of compliemts on the day, but i purposly ordered a light weight blouse so that i was comfortable. I suffered all through my wedding day, i didnt enjoy my wedding day, and when i look back all i can think of is how unconfortable that day was, due to this horrible blouse i was wearing. Thanks a lot Silons.
Silons is ok if you buy off the rack, but if you send an outfit to indian to get sewn, it may come back as a hybrid of something else. Be aware the prices are high so make sure you do your research before ordering and take pictures of the outfit for proof of how it looked before it was shipped out to india.
Overall its a nice shop, with good designer pieces but not very good service.The staff are very clingly and follow you everywhere, and try to be overly helpful in picking out things for you. I hate this as i dont like being rude and telling them to bugger off and leave me to browse. The even follow you to the changing room and ask you after 30 seconds if you need help??? Im a grown woman, i think i know how to put on clothes with out aid. They do sometimes have a nice little sale on and you can get some cheap deals, but most times its on the expensive side.
Hope this review helps girls going to this place to shop for wedding lenghas. read more
