Papa Dont Preach

Papa Don’t Preach for Mehendi For our Carnival Mehendi, I wanted something vibrant, playful, and effortlessly stylish—exactly what Papa Don’t Preach by Shubhika represents. Shubhika’s creativity has always inspired me as a fearless female entrepreneur redefining bridal fashion, and I knew I had to wear one of her masterpieces. When I first saw the Lyons Tropical Blue Lehenga, famously worn by Rakul Preet for her Haldi, it felt like love at first sight. The tropical prints, dazzling embellishments, and unique energy perfectly matched the fun and festive spirit of the day. A heartfelt thank you to Shreya from Papa Don’t Preach, who guided me through the process seamlessly and ensured every detail was flawless. Her assistance with custom changes and on-time delivery made all the difference. Wearing this lehenga felt like stepping into a dream—vibrant, bold, and unapologetically me.Source

I recently inquired about ordering a dress for my bridal shower, but was initially told it couldn’t be delivered on time. The following day, the representative I spoke with reached out on her own and informed me the order could be expedited. I was thrilled and agreed to proceed, but then she mentioned there would be an expediting fee of over 43,350 INR (approximately $507 USD), which was almost 50% of the dress’s cost. I found that excessive and decided not to move forward. The next day, however, the same representative contacted me again, offering to waive the expediting fee completely. I hadn’t requested this, so it struck me as odd and left me feeling like they were simply looking for ways to overcharge their customers. Still, I loved the dress and decided to place the order, with a guarantee that it would be completed and shipped in time for my event. I paid an 80% deposit, with the remaining 20% plus shipping due once the dress was ready for shipment. When I asked for a template for the measurements, the template they provided was unprofessional and unclear, as if a child is asking for measurements. After asking for clarification, they scheduled a video call with a stylist, which helped, but this back-and-forth added unnecessary hassle. Weeks later, when I checked in for an update, the representative’s responses became inconsistent—shifting from confident assurances to vague comments like, “We are trying our best and hoping for the best.” Naturally, I questioned this, and she reassured me it would be completed on time. The day before the dress was supposed to ship, I asked for confirmation and payment details. Despite our earlier agreement, they sent me a link requesting the full amount instead of deducting the 80% deposit I had already paid. It was only after I followed up repeatedly that they corrected this and confirmed the shipment. When I asked for a tracking number, I was told it wouldn’t be available for two days—only to receive it immediately after insisting, lol. When the dress finally arrived, it was a disaster. It was significantly shorter than the measurements I provided, making it completely unwearable. If it had been too long, I could have altered it, but there’s nothing I can do with a dress that’s too short. Not only was it short, most of the measurements were just wrong. I understand if .5 of an inch goes up or down, but this was way off. After spending nearly $2,000, I now have a dress I can’t use and no solution from the company. I reached out to the representative to address the issue. The representative sent me pictures showing the dress being measured before it was shipped. However, there were clear problems with these measurements: 1. They measured the length of the dress slanted, which inherently adds a few extra inches compared to measuring it straight. 2. Even with their slanted measurement, the result shown in the picture is still incorrect and doesn’t match the required length. I’m not sure what they were trying to argue, because even the evidence they provided only confirms the dress is shorter than it should be. To make matters worse, the representative called me again and insisted that I was measuring the dress incorrectly. I even offered to get on a video call and measure the dress in front of them, but the representative refused. This only made it clear they were not willing to take responsibility or resolve the problem properly. They were dismissive and unhelpful. This experience has been beyond frustrating and disappointing.

For the Haldi, Papa Don't Preach by Shubhika created a vibrant and playful ensemble that perfectly matched the festive mood. The colors and intricate details were stunning, making the outfit a standout piece. Source

I bought 5 items from Papa don’t preach store and HQ which is in Mumbai. At first they were so confident that we will layered the packaging it’s whole trap because when they delivered to me they didn’t even put the garment bag although very unprofessional people. Please be mindful while you lived overseas. I’m very disappointed with the purchase. I won’t recommend to anyone.

I customised the colour combination of the outfit but Papa Don’t Preach is such a fun and perfect vibe for mehendi! Source

I wore this gorgeous outfit - THE IT GIRL - BISCUIT NUDE EMBELLISHED SAREE for my Royal wedding in Jaipur - December 2022. The function was the Afterparty. A perfect choice to chill and wind up after the wedding festivities yet be fun and dressed up!

I always have loved PDP and knew i wanted to look quirky on my mehendi. I am based in Punjab and due to Covid i could not shop at the Mumbai store but i had a virtual shopping experience and the staff was super cooperative. I had it shipped and the fittings were just perfect i am so glad i took this decision . Everybody in my family loved my outfit and it was just right for an outdoor mehendi in the hills Simrat
