How to Buy SAROJ JAIN Ethnic Wear from UK, Europe & USA — Shipping, Sizing & Styling Guide
You're in London. Or New York. Or Berlin. And you've been searching for authentic Indian ethnic wear that doesn't cost a fortune in shipping — or arrive looking nothing like the photo.
I hear this from customers across UK, Europe, and the US every single week. The struggle is real: generic overseas retailers overcharge for machine-made imitations, shipping from India feels like a gamble, and you never know if the sizing will work.
At SAROJ JAIN, we ship to 20+ countries — and I want to show you exactly how it works. No guesswork. No surprises. Just authentic, handcrafted Indian ethnic wear delivered to your doorstep in London, New York, Berlin, or wherever you call home.
💡 Quick Answer
Yes, SAROJ JAIN ships to UK, Europe & USA. Delivery takes 7–14 days depending on location. Shipping costs £8–£15 (UK), €12–€20 (EU), $12–$25 (USA). Use our size guide with UK/US/EU conversions. Customs duties are included in the price for most orders under £135 (UK) and $800 (USA). We recommend lightweight co-ord sets and chanderi kurta sets for international orders — they travel well and don't crease.
Why Order from SAROJ JAIN in Bengaluru?
There are three reasons women from London to Los Angeles choose us:
- Direct artisan pricing, not overseas markup: We work directly with Chikankari artisans in Lucknow, Bandhej craftspeople in Jaipur, and Chanderi weavers in Madhya Pradesh. No middlemen, no inflated prices. The same outfit that costs £120–£150 in a UK Indian boutique costs £25–£50 from us — including shipping.
- Real handwork, not machine embroidery: Our Chikankari is hand-embroidered by artisans with 20+ years of experience. Our Bandhej is hand-tied in Jaipur. You can feel the difference in every stitch. Overseas retailers often sell machine-made imitations for 3x the price.
- A boutique that cares about fit: We include detailed sizing guides with UK/US/EU conversions. We offer free basic alterations before shipping. And if something isn't right? We work with you to make it right — not a chatbot, but a real person at our JP Nagar boutique.

Sizing Guide — UK, US & EU Conversions
Indian sizing differs from UK, US, and EU sizing. Here's a quick guide:
| SAROJ JAIN Size | UK Size | US Size | EU Size | Bust (cm) | Waist (cm) | Hips (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 6 | 2 | 32 | 81-84 | 61-64 | 86-89 |
| S | 8 | 4 | 34 | 84-89 | 64-69 | 89-94 |

Tip for co-ord sets and kurta sets: These silhouettes are designed to be relaxed. If you're between sizes, we recommend going one size up — a slightly looser fit looks more intentional than one that's too tight. WhatsApp us your measurements and we'll help you pick the right size.

- Georgette: Hand wash cold, hang dry in shade. Iron on low heat. Avoid wringing.
