Indore’s sarees and suits start near Rajwada
Indore’s old cloth trade sits around Rajwada. The MT Cloth Market nearby is the city’s historic cloth market, and Sitlamata Bazaar inside it is known for sarees, heavy embroidered wedding wear and dress material. Clients who shop there for a wedding usually head to a ladies tailor next for blouses, suits and lehengas.
That means an Indore boutique often gets the same pattern every season: a family walks in with five pieces of fabric and one wedding date.
Questions an Indore boutique owner asks
“Which blouse belongs to which client?” In VogueDesk, one order holds all the garments for a client, each with its own name and description. The order shows its date, delivery date and status, from pending to delivered. Measurements live in named sets per client, such as “Bhabhi blouse Dec 2026”, with fields like blouse length, bust, armhole, dart point and sleeve round.
“Who is stitching what?” The assignments board shows every karigar their own tasks. They mark a stage started or done from their phone. You see at a glance what is stuck.
“How much do I owe my karigars this month?” Give per-piece karigars a piece rate, and payroll multiplies it by the tasks they complete. Salary structures, monthly payroll runs and advances with repayment are all there. See attendance and payroll.
“Can I take this order for the 15th?” Check the delivery date estimate and capacity calendar before saying yes. The dashboard lists every delivery due in the next 30 days.
Wedding season and festivals
Indore’s wedding season, along with Navratri, Diwali and Karva Chauth, brings the heaviest weeks. A few habits help:
- Book trials through your online booking page so clients come at set times.
- Track alterations separately as requested, in progress and completed.
- Send a tracking link with every order so clients stop calling.
- If you send embroidery out, add the worker as a contractor so their load counts in capacity.
Staff and attendance
Indore boutiques often have a mix of full-time karigars and helpers. Record attendance as present, absent, on leave, half day or work from home, or connect a biometric machine that uses the iClock protocol. The leaderboard ranks staff on completed work, which some owners use to reward their best karigar after a busy season. Read more on karigar management.
