I am in the US. I found this site cold, and decided to take a chance. I'm sure US buyers are aware of the scamming risks. I AM BEYOND GRATEFUL that I took that risk!! Let's get into it:
I have 2 daughters that needed barat & valima outfits, and was specifically looking for 1. hand work, not machine sewn embellishments and 2. fabrics that my kiddos would actually wear, not the itchy stuff that you find everywhere.
Minnie Threads delivered on both of these counts and more. First, was their stellar WhatsApp communication. I didn't even realize at first that even though I was ordering pre-stitched sizing, because the work is done by HAND, they take your kiddo's exact measurements. So pleasantly surprised. Then, I was able to include an additional color lengha very reasonably because I wanted 2 options. Then, I got update photo and video and status messages throughout the whole process. Finally, when their outfits arrived I was floored. Truly. I purchased my own outfits from a designer's boutique on Hillcroft (Houston, TX - IYKYK) and the bead work, stitching, and fabric was easily equal or better than my own very expensive, US purchased outfits. A slight inconvenience for my 5 year-old was her inability to keep the beadwork away from the crushed fabric, so she had some pulls by the end of the night - but this is a common problem when we put our kiddos in beautiful, handworked clothes. I will absolutely use Minnie Threads for my entire family's party wear moving forward. The fabric, the hand work, the customer service, absolutely 10/10.
Will update with valima pics after we wear them. <3
