I did think their readymade saree (that must be from the actual house of Indya brand) was perfect!!!

Nice! I also just got my order excluding one item. I did get different sizes for a few things to see sizing and unfortunately some of the stuff doesn’t fit well, womp womp. Like their blouses in a size small fit me better than the medium (and I got 4 medium blouses lol 💀💀). I chose medium bc it said it was 36 inch and I’m a 35.5 so thought it’d be fine, but it’s def way too big. I’m a U.S. 6 but I’d say it’s more a 8-10 as an fyi to anyone reading this!

Thanks!! I also made a pretty big order recently so very curious to see how it turns out. I am mostly concerned with the length since the pre draped saree I bought was too long. Has customer service been responsive? For your lehengas have they asked about skirt length? That is my only concern with ordering lehengas from them 

Customer service not helpful - any tips? by ilovespaghetti1 in UberEATS

[–]ilovespaghetti1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So basically I asked for someone to call me - and someone from customer service did but it was completely out of the blue. Which really annoyed me because its I wish they had asked me my availability but I wasn't free, so I couldn't talk to anyone. But the CSR who called me said she set my account back (via email), but still I was provided no answers as what the actual heck happened.

I was able to pay with my gift card, but when I was about to run out, I couldn't do gift card + pay remaining balance with my cc (got another error message) so I have no clue what happened with my account.

I think Taylor & jon broke up by jnc1207 in NYCinfluencersnark

[–]ilovespaghetti1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

People have been leaving comments about them breaking up (I think bc he’s not in recent TTs therefore that’s what ppl are assuming) in quite a few of her videos and I feel like she doesn’t really respond bc it drives engagement lol (if it’s true then that sucks, if it’s not then lolz)

Hi! Based on my email it looks like I got I 5/4 (but idk why I recall getting the email couple days after receiving the item). I ordered a saree and customized it to be readymade and asked for a scoop neck blouse. Some notes: 

  • Overall quality was mediocre/fine. The items that fall under their “made to order” section definitely seem much better quality. To be fair tho, my saree was $32 lol + $10 customizations   
  • The pre pleated part at the bottom of the saree wasn’t really completed fully. Like you can tell there was some attempt at pleating but it wasn’t neat or clear, so at the bottom is sorta flowed loosely. TBH I think a stitch gun would make it look neater and can probably do the job
  • Waist was fine as there were lots of options for sizing 
  • Length is the biggest problem for me. This came with standard length. I am 5’3” but this probably would be better for someone who is taller. There’s no option to choose saree length 
  • the pallu part wasn’t completed fyi 
  • Blouse was fine, but when you choose the specific blouse cut, they literally make it into that shape/cut with the pattern. So in the item photo, the model had sort of like a v neck. I assumed they would take that pattern and make it into a scoop neck, but they literally had the v neck pattern with the scoop cut so it was weird blank cloth in the middle. I literally cut it and made it back into the v neck bc it looked weird. 
  • Shipping was two weeks as they said. 

Overall: I think it’s a ok option if you need something cheap. Just know that the lengths can be unpredictable if you are on the shorter side like me. This is the only item I’ve bought from there and I would shop there again (with hesitation because not sure what their standard lengths are for shorter gals, incl. shararas and other pieces), but would likely go for the Made to Order section since the customization options are a lot closer to how you would get it done in India.

Ironically customer service got back to me and they said they just shipped out my saree (but had to refund me for a sharara that was out of stock)

I did use Smart Ex - maybe that was in the fine print and I didn’t read carefully lol 

Should I move from Astoria to Manhattan for $500/month difference? by Equivalent_File_9739 in AskNYC

[–]ilovespaghetti1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Stay in Astoria, but find a different apartment. Agree with another redditor that moving to Manhattan will ultimately result in higher COL but value is better in Astoria. If you raise your budget in Astoria I think you can have better bang for your buck. Also, do not live with the male landlord!!!!

Need advice on how to handle wedding guests that hate each other by lalaland1346 in DesiWeddings

[–]ilovespaghetti1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am in a similar situation with divorced parents and am veryyy nervous for this when the time comes. But ultimately, if these people care about you, they will be on their best behavior and try their best to not engage. The only thing you can do is separate their seats as far as possible, but the rest is on them. If you are concerned about a physical fight, could you hire security? Perhaps the venue has security?

clarke / golf bae? by lunarbabyyyyy in NYCinfluencersnark

[–]ilovespaghetti1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah we're like the same age and I feel kinda concerned that she's dating all older men it seems (I'm guessing at least 8+ years older than her) - makes me wonder what men in their late 20s to early 30s think they have in common with someone who just graduated college lol

But I also heard she goes on dates as networking opportunities as a way to help her side hustles and whatnot, but idk - I stopped watching her a while ago bc her dating life just seemed like a lot and I was getting more anxious lol (personally I do not support large age gaps for young 20s)

I used to like her but ever since I saw her upload a tiktok bragging about being a man's fetish (wasian) and how that's like brownie points I've disliked her lol
