Where can I find good formal women's wear in Bangalore?

Hi,

I have been looking for good women's formal wear in Bangalore. Unfortunately most of my female colleagues wear Indian formals and haven't been of much help. I did venture into Forum but they didn't seem to have too many options. If there is a good tailor for dresses and suits, that would be much appreciated as well.

I guess I am now in a condition to entertain you with the story of why I needed a new wardrobe... just incase people assume I moved to Bangalore without having brought my clothes here

Coming to India not anticpating what the food could..would do to my health is a gross undestatement. I guess jumping into adventure spirit in day 2 of my stay here wasn't necessarily what I would term as 'cautious' either. It has been over 3 weeks and only now is there a semblance of my stomach showing signs of recovery. I have lost (I know some women back home would envy me for this..) over 10 pounds in 3 weeks! (You see I was a small built woman to begin with, so this to me is an absolute NO-NO. Let me tell you this, it is not really a compliment when your clothes hang on you like they do on a hanger!!!

Getting back to my adventures of finding a new wardrobe... After managing for two weeks with two tops, a skirt and two trousers and the whole office wondering if I really did come from a developed country ... I finally found a tailor on CMH road, Indiranagar - Kanate for those interested, has had 3 generations into the business and does a splendid job. The rates are SO much more reasonable than getting custom-made suits back home!!!!! I almost yelped out a cry of delight when I saw the price

Phew! You know this place really does make you sit up and take good note of it, doesn't it?
