    Hi friends, i planning to get some salwars for regular office use. butget between 300-500 rupees. i will be taking some of my friends too for the shopping since they too wanted to get some materials for cheap rates. Since we are buying in more quantity, we thought we could go to washermanpet or sowcarpet or parrys to get best deal.

    So please ILs suggest me which area would be better to get salwars at nominal rates.

    You can try at Pantheon road, Egmore where you get good cotton materials at reasonable rates.............you must bargain well, Deepa and most of the materials have good saree width.

    Thanks for your input Sudha. Yes, even i am confused between these areas. Once I have been to washermanpet, sarees are at very reasonable prices.. but didnt try salwars there.. the other two places i have heard it but not been there.. lets wait for some more replies..

    The designs are good thts because most of their stuff comes from the fashion city Mumbai. There are shops which have the high-variety, but am sure you will find your like over there. Other than this, there is also a good shop in Cissons Complex, Montieth Road called Saheli. They also have a very good collection of dress materials and readymades plus the rates are reasonable.They also do a very good tailoring job and will even suggest you good patterns if you ask for it.
