Faamys Fashions has been part of Anna Nagar for over sixteen years. What started as a small boutique has become the studio hundreds of Chennai brides trust with their most important outfit.
Faamys Fashions was founded in 2009 by two sisters — Farrida Saleem and A.A.R. Zaithun — in Anna Nagar, Chennai. They started with one conviction: that a garment fitted on a real person in a real studio will always look better than one sized from a chart or sent from a warehouse.
The name is a combination of both founders' names. The studio is still at the same address, still run by the same family, still doing the same work — just for a lot more customers.
Online tailoring services have quietly admitted they cannot solve fit. One competitor's FAQ answers the question "what if it doesn't fit?" with: every blouse comes with extra inseam margin so a local tailor can take it in.
That is not a solution. That is a workaround.
At Faamys, every garment is tried on before it leaves. If something needs correcting — the hook, the neckline, the sleeve — it is fixed on the spot, in our studio, before the customer walks out. That is what sixteen years of doing this properly looks like.
Bridal blouses are our signature — aari work, maggam work, zardosi, kundan, designed from your reference photo and fitted in person. But we also stitch lehengas, half sarees, salwar suits, gowns, western outfits, pattu pavadai for children, and office shirts.
We also do saree pre-pleating — drop your saree and collect it pleated and ready to wear in 4 hours to 1 day. And alterations of every kind, including panchakacham, which very few tailors in Chennai still do properly.
The studio produces 30 to 50 garments a day during busy season. Everything is measured, stitched and fitted in-house.
Farrida has been at the studio since the beginning. She handles design consultations and works directly with customers on everything from reference photos to final fittings. She is the one who tells a customer — honestly — whether a design will suit their saree.
Zaithun co-founded Faamys in 2009 and has built the studio's reputation for one thing above everything else: keeping the promised delivery date. Sixteen years of running a tailoring studio with two founders means every decision is taken seriously.
"Once you trial with us, you won't stitch anywhere else."
