Best online sites for buying lehengas, saris, etc.?

Wedding season is back and I need to buy a few outfits for myself and for my kids. I haven't been able to visit India for a few years because of COVID, so would love to simplify and shop online.

I haven't really bought Indian clothes online before, so I'm not sure which brands offer good quality at a decent price. I know some shops ship to the UK from India/Pakistan with minimum spend, so this is another option as well. Bonus points if I can buy bangles and other costume jewellery as well. Thanks in advance! x

I would really like some recommendations too. I found a couple but their reviews elsewhere have been terrible.

House of Indya/ FabAlley ship to the UK.

So does Global Desi.

Both have good collections. Mind you have to pay extortionate shipping charges and customs/duties etc.

I had sarees shipped from India as had a wedding to go to last year. If you know someone who can collect it from the shop and courier them, you do t have to pay so much.

I had a good experience using Rutbaa.com for some made to measure outfits (mix of chudidaar, lehnga, shalwar kameez) for my cousins wedding (pre Covid). It took around 3-5 weeks each time but they kept me informed and had good customer service (for example shipping extra cut off fabric so I could make coordinating hair bands). For the price, they were good value.

(Ps you don’t have to ask for made to measure, can pay less if you fit in a standard size and then they will ship much faster).

Sejkin or black thread both good

I've just discovered this board so apologies for bumping an oldish thread. I live in an area where I can't get sarees or lehengas easily, but have ordered from the Tia Bhuva website. It's perfect but her prices have gone up a lot so will only do it when she has offers on.
I'd love to hear about other sites too. I tend to search depop or vinted for blouses so that I can have a ready made blouse.

This site is great for men and kids. I'm eyeing this outfit up for a beach wedding next year but not sure if it's too close to bridal wear:

The tia Bhuva sari underskirt is amazing.
