7 Mistakes Women Make While Buying Ethnic Wear Online (And How To Avoid Them)
Buying ethnic wear online feels easy… until the parcel arrives.
A lehenga that looked royal in pictures may feel stiff, cheap, or uncomfortable in real life. Many women regret online ethnic shopping because of small mistakes they didn’t even know they were making.
Here are the 7 most common mistakes — and how you can avoid them.
1. Choosing Design Over Fabric Quality
Photos can hide a lot. The real beauty of any ethnic outfit lies in its fabric quality, not just embroidery.
❌ Cheap net, stiff lining, poor fall
✅ Premium georgette, soft net, breathable lining
Delhi Mubarak Tip: Always check fabric details before buying. Premium fabrics fall better, feel lighter, and last longer.
2. Ignoring Stitching & Blouse Type
Many buyers don’t check if the blouse is stitched or unstitched.
Unstitched blouses are better because:
• They allow perfect fitting
• Can be altered in future
• Look more premium after tailoring
3. Falling for “Too Cheap to Be True” Prices
A ₹12,000 lehenga being sold for ₹2,999 usually means:
• Thin lining
• Low GSM fabric
• Low quality embroidery
• Poor finishing
A good outfit should look expensive and feel comfortable — not just be cheap.
4. Not Checking Return & Exchange Policy
Never buy ethnic wear online without checking:
• Exchange availability
• Return window
• Who pays return shipping
Reliable brands always provide proper after-sales support.
5. Ignoring Size & Fit Details
Ethnic wear fitting is different from western wear.
Always check:
• Garment measurements
• Blouse margin availability
• Dupatta length
• Skirt flare & waist fit
6. Buying Without Reading Reviews
Reviews show the real story — about fabric, fit, delivery & service.
Always read customer feedback before ordering.
7. Not Choosing a Trusted Brand
Most disappointments happen because buyers choose unknown Instagram pages or unreliable sellers.
A trusted brand provides:
• Consistent quality
• Real customer support
• Clear policies
• Proper packaging & timely delivery

Such an informative read! Buying ethnic wear online is really confusing, but this blog explains everything in such a simple way. Loved the part about fabric quality and blouse stitching – very few brands talk about this honestly. Great job, Delhi Mubarak 👏
This blog is so helpful! I honestly made most of these mistakes earlier while buying lehengas online 😅
Wish I had read this before. Love how clearly everything is explained. Delhi Mubarak really seems to focus on quality, not just designs. Will definitely try ordering my next festive outfit from here 💛
