Here are pictures of two sarees I ordered to be made by Prototype:
One day I'll wear them and take pictures, since just posting snapshots doesn't do them justice. Here's my review of Prototype:
1) Price and Quality: A+ , A+
In my opinion, the right combination of price and quality is what gets my business. I would have to say, out of most of the designers and vendors here and even on some websites, Prototype offers the best prices. However, I was hesitant about quality, until I received my first order. The sarees came out STUNNING. For the price I paid, I got 2 very high quality products. I had expected less, and was thrilled to discover I got more.
The first saree has pearl, stone, and sequin work all along the borders, with little flower spraywork throughout the saree and large motifs along the pallu.
The second saree has flower pattern threadwork all along the borders, with large flower patch motifs along the whole body, and spraywork of sequins throughout the whole saree.
2) Service: A+
Prototype offers EXCEPTIONAL customer service. She is very fast when it comes to responding to emails, answers ALL questions patiently and helpfully, and never tries to rip you off or give you an unreasonable price quote.
3) Fitting: A+
I DID order a salwar suit too, but it is for Eid and I don't want to show the picture. All I can say is, PERFECT FIT. I was sooo worried about the fit. Prototype sent me this measurement form that was a real headache! So many details required!!! I couldn't understand why, until I received my suit and tried it on. OMG.... PERFECT FIT. I couldn't be happier. And it looked sooo good. I was thrilled.
Overall, I had a fantastic experience with Prototype, and am already placing my next order for salwar suits with her. She offers a fantastic service, price, and quality, the holy trinity of shopping. I recommend her highly.
