    I like pretty Western and Desi dresses

    Now I am purchasing rhinestones, appliqué, lace trims to up-cycle what I already have

    Maybe I will purchase party Anarkali for next office Diwali party, but that is months and months away.

    Which Shop Or What Shopping Gives You Satisfaction?

    My list has changed a lot over the years!
    1) Sree Shanti Selections for salwar kameez, churidar unstitched sets.
    2) Bomanna Brothers and Chandana Sarees
    3) Cherma's, Shopper's Stop, Lifestyle (no fabindia for me)
    4) One Steel & kitchen ware shop in Nampally. I forget the name.
    5) Target (before the Michael Graves upgrade)
    6) Ross, Michaels.
    7) Barnes & Noble (Spent couple of hours with my DD once in a B&N in Anchorage, Alaska while others were busy with essential shopping. "Amma.. look! Can we go?" We fairly ran from Walmart to B&N across the road. It remains one of our most treasured memories, we didn't expect to see a B&N there.)


    8) More recent fun shopping is for dorm or campus apartment (I so love this shopping) : )
    9) The Container Store (though I am not allowed to buy anything here. Long story)
    10) Most recent: Local hardware stores for our carpentry projects.

    Nice thread! I shopped once long ago in Sarojini Nagar. The three dresses and two sweaters I bought, I still can recall the colors, print and textures.
