All these years, for
Chennai women interested in wearing western clothes, the choice has been limited to
jeans, very badly stitched ready made skirts and the like - then you have to hunt high and
low for the top; forget about jackets. Now with Natalia you can say good bye to irregular
grumpy tailors and the pseudo line of western clothes. This exclusive
western wear shop was opened on 24th February and grants respite to all the
women who had to put up with ill-fitting clothes and the dominance of the mass production.
The range of clothes consist of simple tops
which can be worn over both jeans and skirts. These tops are made from various materials
from the usual printed synthetic fabrics to jute, linen and raw silk. They are ideal for
college and then you can take off for a party without bothering to change as they are both
trendy and stylish. For you daring people out these sleeveless tops in silky material,
from deep colours to pastel are also available.
They also have a range of pencil skirts and
short skirts in beautiful colours. These skirts not only look good, they are also
comfortable and fit perfectly. Thank god, they don’t stock those awful umbrella
skirts which everyone was duped as fashionable for so long!
For the working woman who doesn’t want
to wear salwar or saree to work, Natalia stocks a wide range of trousers and jackets.
Never fear if you are on the same side of the fence as Barlie - they carry  trousers
from 28 waist to 34 waist! These trousers come in cotton, rayon and other materials which
make them very wearer friendly. Available in a whole range of colours, they can be mixed
and matched with their extensive range of jackets. They are available in a whole spectrum
of colours and styles - from the simple plain ones to jackets designed with sequins and
coloured beads, to give that elegant touch. For this festive season you can pick one made
of raw silk which looks rich without being gaudy.
For those who thought that denim meant only
jeans - surprise! A whole selection of denim skirts, shirts, dresses and pinafores are
available. The range of denim wear is the shops present unique feature.
The designer of these trendy clothes is a
soft spoken lady named Sujatha Pai, who is the director of the parent company SM Apparels.
If the clothes need a little alteration then she makes it for you; however they don’t
encourage nips and tucks on trousers and blouses as it can mar the design. She
also has a few limitations on returns after purchase. So you need to choose your clothes
carefully.
Another aspect which works to your
advantage is their price range. With the lower level at Rs. 400 and the higher level at
3,000, you can buy clothes for both everyday wear and as well as for those many special
occasions for which you desire to look great.
Tucked away on TTK road, Natalia is a haven
for shoppers who are particular about their clothes and have a definite sense of style.
This huge boutique allows you to shop at leisure with a helpful but not
breathing-down-your-neck shop assistant. So drop in and indulge. |
