I chose the Harleen Kaur brand after it was recommended to me from multiple South Asian org's in NYC that highly recommended her due to the quality of the fabric and her impeccable designs.
A lot of recommendations were to other studios selling outfits from designers from India (whom I love!), but Harleen is unique in that her outfits are locally and sustainably made in NYC which is what I was looking for specifically!
She was extremely friendly to work with and allowed me numerous consultations (at her various studios) to take my measurements, advise me on what style would be best based on my body type and event formality, and was able to accommodate my numerous requests. Harleen Kaur has a keen eye on design, what's fashionable, and honestly what looks good on the South Asian body! Her designs have a mix of the traditional but also modern and sleek that is flattering and comfortable.
