Our story
Stitched by hand, fitted to one woman at a time
Since our first fitting
A boutique built on measurements, not sizes
Shamina Signature Design began as a small tailoring table in Pondicherry, taking on blouse and occasion-wear orders for neighbours and their weddings. Today it's grown into a full atelier — but the way we work hasn't changed: no size charts, no ready racks, just your measurements, your fabric, and your occasion.
We specialise in five things — customised blouses, hand aari work, rental dresses & model outfits, customised chudidhars, and abayas with burkha & shawl — and we keep our order list small on purpose, so every piece gets the attention a hand-made garment deserves.

How we think about a garment
What we hold ourselves to
- Fit over trend. A garment is only well-made if it moves with you, not against you.
- One order at a time. We limit how many pieces we take on each month so every fitting gets a proper trial.
- Honest fabric. We tell you plainly what a fabric can and can't do before you commit to it.
- Your reference, our craft. Bring a photo, a sketch, or a half-formed idea — we'll shape it into something wearable.
What we craft
Five specialities, made to order
Customised blouses, hand aari work, rental dresses & model outfits, customised chudidhars, and abayas with burkha & shawl — every piece starts with a conversation, not a catalogue.
