The selection at Uma Sarees is excellent. Uma helped me look through fabrics until we found one I loved, and then she was able to make a custom saree in just a few days. Uma herself is delightful, kind and patient. I had a wonderful experience there. read more

My wife and I attended an Indian wedding in May, and after toying with ordering something online, the father of the bride recommended Uma Sarees on Devon, so I figured I'd check it out. We entered the store at about 1 p.m. on a Saturday, and in less than an hour, I had completed one of the best shopping experiences of my life--granted, most of my shopping experiences are centered on the clearance rack at stores or the "50 percent off!" page on websites but still. Uma was incredibly helpful. I told her I was looking for something for a Sangeet that didn't make me look like I was nine months pregnant. She sized me up--and there's a lot to size up--and pulled four Kurtas from the shelf behind her. While I tried them on, I overheard Uma and her husband joking around with my wife--I'm assuming about me--which made me feel even more at home. I ended up selecting a set based on Uma's recommendation. We looked around the store for a while, chatting with Uma about their business--the first Indian apparel shop on Devon Avenue--and what to expect at the Sangeet. Thanks to the great service and casual approach, my wife and I exited the store with some super cool clothes and in a better mood than when we entered. Just a wonderful shopping--and social--experience. read more

I needed a blouse made for my wedding saree and Uma was able to make it quickly and it looks great! She made sure to have me try it on to see if any adjustments were needed (though they definitely weren't!). I won't hesitate to return if I need anything else made! read more

Thank you, Uma for my beautiful sarees with personally tailored blouses that were a perfect fit. I just returned from a wedding in Mumbai where I received many compliments on the 3 gorgeous outfits I bought from Uma. I felt very confident in them, but I was thankful the bride had hired a "dresser" to help us get ready for the events because I was clueless about how to wrap them! Hopefully, I will be able to wear them again in the future. The fabrics and details are stunning. read more

My partner and I needed outfits for an Indian wedding, and we went to the store totally unfamiliar with what we needed. Uma gave us a warm welcome and quickly helped us pick the right lehenga and kurta in a matter of minutes. Most impressively, she eyeballed the proper sizes for both of us, before we ever tried anything on. Great experience, and now we're ready to celebrate. read more

I had a wedding to attend in Mumbai. The bride told me just to get everything in India, but I was worried there wouldn't be enough time beforehand. I'm also long-waisted and extremely "blessed" so readymade saree blouses just don't work. I was in the area, and I walked into the shop on a whim. Uma got all my measurements and helped me choose fabric for a blouse that would go with any sarees I chose in India. I live in Wisconsin, and less than a week later, she called to tell me it was on its way. She also called to confirm that I had received it and that it fit. And my god, did it fit great! I got compliments from my Mumbai friends about how comfortable I looked for my first time in a saree. I'm convinced it was because my blouse was so great. The price was really reasonable for a custom garment, especially since I wore it on three different days! I'm looking forward to my next saree-worthy event so I can wear it again. read more

I had the best time picking out my saree and jewelry. My top was custom fit and ready early for the wedding I was to attend.

I had such a great experience with Uma and her husband! They are both wonderful people. I walked in on a Wednesday night around 7:30pm and let them know that I needed a Saree for a wedding on Saturday. This was my first time wearing one and I had no idea! I thought I could just go in and buy one....but nope it had to be made and guess what?? Uma was AMAZING she said to not worry and that she would have it ready early on Saturday and that she would also help me get ready :) BEST EXPERIENCE EVER! I will definitely be returning soon! read more

I went to Uma's solely based on Yelp reviews and I wasn't disappointed! Uma and her husband run a beautiful little store with amazing service. They were kind and welcoming and went out of their way to make me feel comfortable. Not only was the service amazing, but the clothing is reasonably priced and excellent quality. I came away with everything I needed, at reasonable prices and wonderful hug from Uma as a bonus. I'll definitely be back! read more

Great shopping experience! Very helpful kind owners and sales staff. Will definitely be back!!

Best sari shop on Devon, especially for a newbie customer. Owner Uma was very helpful and so friendly! She didn't hesitate to explain the outfits and even showed me how to wear them. Great quality fabrics and a generous price range - something for everyone. I will DEFINITELY be back! read more

I bought two different outfits here. After going on Devon street many ones and bartering with the other boutiques who left me absolutely exhausted every time Uma's was AMAZING. I'm so sad I'm moving to NYC or I would get all my outfits here. All of her outfits were fairly priced, unlike most of the other shops down the street. Uma and her husband were so helpful and sweet. Genuinely good people and I could tell they actually cared about my price point and what I wanted. The fabric was good too! Love this place and wish I would have found it sooner. read more

I had an amazing experience with Uma! She is so sweet and a very genuine person. She helped me find an appropriate outfit for an event. She was very generous with her pricing and was not pushy at all. Showed me how to wear certain things and was just so friendly. She even gave me and my husband a hug before we left!! I can't say enough positive things about Uma and her husband. I have no desire to shop else wear on Devon- we will be solely giving her our business from now on. read more

Bought my saree and bangles from Uma's and I couldn't have had a better experience. Uma was so kind and thoughtful. Such a special woman.

I felt like she really cared which in retail doesn't happen too often. Highly recommend. read more

Uma Sarees - Bought my saree and bangles from Uma's and I couldn't have had a better experience. Uma was so sweet and is such a special woman - Accessories Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

You will just love Uma! I am an older, short, plus-size woman. My original plan in making the trip to Devon Avenue was to go to Uma's Sarees but we arrived before her opening so we began to walk. Stopped in a few stores and either couldn't find the right size or felt pressured to purchase. Got back to Uma's and was so happy. I immediately liked this woman! She was so helpful and informative. I wanted to be sure, that as a non-Indian, I would not offend anyone at the wedding party. She assured me I would be fine. My saree had to be altered and it was done quickly. Uma showed me how to wear it and gave me hints (make sure you tuck it in tight), underpin here, etc. We found earrings that were perfect. All in all, the experience was great. We even hugged when I was leaving. read more

The owner Uma, her husband, and her daughter are very nice. Uma gave me a discount on my sandal which really made me happy. I really couldn't expect that I will get so much good customer service in devon area. read more

I am not Indian but was attending an Indian wedding and had been asked to wear a saree. As luck would have it, a friend of mine was in India and bought a beautiful saree for me, but when I got it, I had no idea how to wear it or what to do with it! I went to Uma Sarees and Uma was a godsend! She measured me and set me up with a custom-sewn blouse, a petticoat, and jewelry, and she showed me how to wear it. She could have easily said, "You bought the saree somewhere other than my shop, why should I help you?" But instead she was warm and friendly - and so much help! The wedding was yesterday and my saree was a hit. Thanks, Uma! Highly recommended. read more

Uma is great! She is so sweet and caring. I came in for help with a saree blouse - I had all of the materials but needed the blouse made. She gave me advice, measured me and had the blouse made promptly and professionally. read more

I came in to buy a blanket and luckily they sell them. There was only a few left so I'm going to wait a week or so until their new shipment arrives. I love how organized the store is and the price seems fair compared to what I have seen at other places on Devon. They also treat their customers very good. (Some other places on Devon are a nightmare). I can't wait to get my blanket from here! read more
