While ordering online I'm receiving this message: "Sorry. Your session has expired. Please try again." Why ?
This message may appear in two cases. The first would be if too much time is taken between adding products to the basket and checking out. The other could be your browser history conflicting with your current order. In this case, clear your browser cache and try ordering again. If you are still facing problems you can ask for a Personalised Payment Invoice OR use any of several alternate payment options as listed here .

I'm having trouble ordering online. I'm receiving server error messages. Why and what can I do about it ?
For your protection, we have elaborate Security Software built into our Payment Gateway. Should you be ordering from an insecure server, this software automatically disables the Payment Gateway. In this case please contact us for a completely secure personal payment invoice OR use any of several alternate payment methods listed in our How To Order page.

What sizes are your products available in ?
All our products are tailor-made from scratch. We work with your measurements or size as provided during order.
Products can also be provided unstitched on request. (not valid for ready-to-ship products)

How do I submit my measurements ?
Easy! After processing your online order, e-mail detailed actual body measurements of HEIGHT, BUST, UNDER-BUST, WAIST and HIPS to sales@dmi-india.com. In case any other measurements be required, our production department will contact you later. (measurements can also be entered in special instructions box at checkout)

For GIFT PURCHASE - Alternatively HEIGHT and DRESS SIZE (please see chart at size-guide ) can be provided.

I love the outfits in your gallery. However, I want small changes made, like long sleeves instead of short, longer blouse to cover my midriff, etc. is it possible?
Yes, all special requests are accommodated. While most changes are free of cost, any substantial changes resulting in extra cost for us may result in a marginal change in price. Details of ALL Changes/ Special Instructions MUST be repeated via email after order.

We have recently had cases, where the customer has expected his/her order to be executed, incorporating changes suggested by customer via email, weeks even months before actual date of order. We will NOT check email history before executing an order. If no email containing Special Instructions / Changes is received AFTER order is placed, order will be executed without any changes.

Am I getting Original Bollywood Outfits and Jewellery ?
No. All Bollywood Outfits are only inspired by those worn by Movie Stars and are made exactly in the same style. Please be aware that very slight insignificant differences may occur, due to all outfits being completely handmade. (No two pieces of any Handworked Product can ever be exactly the same as each pair of hands will have it's own style of working.) Also be warned that wearing an outfit, similar to one worn by a star, will not necessarily make you look like that star!

Please Note: most original movie costumes are made for single use with cheap poly-mix fabrics. These fabrics have a shiny finish that looks good on screen but is quite tacky otherwise. All our Bollywood Inspired outfits are made from lush fabrics such as Pure Silk, Satin etc, so you are actually getting an improved product.

My outfit is not the exact shade of cream as the outfit shown on your site ?
Please be aware that actual color may differ slightly from that shown. While the essential color will remain the same, that is pastel pink will be pastel pink and turquoise will be turquoise, the actual shade may differ. Minor differences in exact shade of color differ due to lighting differences, individual photographer styles, film development differences, scanner differences and individual pc monitor color settings. See Shade Chart 1 and Shade Chart 2 .

PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL WHITES ARE NATURAL - BRIGHT WHITES NOT AVAILABLE (TO AVOID BLEACHING CARCINOGENS)

Is it safe to give away credit card details online ?
Your credit card details are perfectly safe at our personalised credit-card processing server, which is SSL secured.

My credit card purchase has been declined. I am within my credit-card limit, why has it been declined ?
The most common reason for this is customer not inputing personal and billing details correctly. You must ensure that Name and Billing Address are input EXACTLY as shown on your bank statements for the credit card.
A delay between adding products to your basket and checking out may also result in the order being declined. Should you still face problems, we suggest checking with your bank OR credit-card provider.

Are shipping charges included ?
Yes. All prices are inclusive of shipping and FREE HOME DELIVERY (no matter where you are)

CLOTHING CARE

COTTON

is water-absorbent. Whites can be bleached lightly, but not treated, printed or colored cottons. Before washing vegetable dyed cotton, test for colorfastness by wetting a small corner to see if it bleeds. Soak in cold or tepid water, dry in shade and iron with hot steam.

DENIM
is easy to maintain and improves with washing. Wah in cold or lukewarm water. Don't put detergent directly on the denim, or soak it for long. Dry it inside-out. Both hand or machine wash (tumble dry on low heat) work well. For machine wash of darker denims, inside out is reccomended to keep color from fading.

KNITS
are made from looped fibres and can absorb air and water. Wash in cold water and dry flat. Iron on low heat and store folded on broad hangers.

LACE
is an intricate pattern made of synthetic or natural yarns, sometimes stitched onto a base. It can stretch and lose shape if handled poorly. Dry-cleaning is reccomended. Hand-wash at home with a sponge soaked in mild solution of liquid soap and lukewarm water. Spread the lace flat and blot clean. Never bleach. Ironing not reccomended.

LINEN
has poor elasticity, wrinkles easily, can be dyed well, dosent fade quickly and can tolerate high temperatures. Wash, wring gently and dry in shade. While Ironing, open collars and iron on fold, as prolonged folding can cause the yarns to break. Iron when damp with hot steam.

POLYESTER, GEORGETTE, CHIFFON AND ORGANZA
are synthetic, crease-resistant fabrics with an affinity for oil. Polyester is tough but melts under medium to high temperatures. Georgette, Chiffon and Organza are diaphonous and delicate. To wash, soak in lukewarm water with a mild detergent, dont scrub, rinse thoroughly, squeeze excess water and dry flat. Iron while damp on low temperature.

SILK
is strong, can be dyed easily, drapes well and dries quickly. All handworked and zari woven silk sarees and outfits should be dry-cleaned and stored away from direct sunlight. Most unembellished plain silks can be hand-washed using a gentle non-alkaline shampoo. Dont wring, but roll in towel to squeeze out extra moisture before drying. Iron on low temperature using a press cloth. Silk fades under direct sunlight.

VELVET
is made from rayon or acetate and ideally should be dry-cleaned.

WOOL
has high elasticity, is flame resistant and has high moisture absorbing quality. Wool should be professionally cleaned. If you must wash at home, use a mild liquid detergent and dry it flat. It can be steam pressed at very low temperatures, however some wools like angora shrink easily so ironing is best avoided.
