“Outfits from Alaya by Stage3 are perfect for festive season 2025. They are elegant, stylish yet affordable”
Alaya by Stage3 : One stop solution for all Festive dresses
But this year, I stumbled upon Alaya by Stage3. Their simple yet elegant designs caught my attention. Right from ethnic yet trendy Kurtas to lehengas, kaftans to ready to wear saree sets, Alaya had everything that I was looking for. In this blog I am sharing a review of Ivory Anarkali dress with choker dupatta that I purchased from Alaya by Stage 3.
About Alaya by Stage3
Alaya is a woman-led fashion brand offering stylish and high quality Modern Indian wear for women who love dressing up.
Their designs are not only trendy and stylish, but also thoughtfully designed, keeping comfort in mind. Best Part, they fit all budgets.
They take their inspirations from from real women, content creators, and how India dresses today.
First Impressions: Rich, Elegant yet wearable
The first thing that impressed me about Alaya’s festive collection are their designs. They are festive but not over the top. I find the outfits very elegant and wearable for any occasion. From simple yet elegant lehengas to gorgeous ready to wear sarees and flowy Anarkali’s, every piece seems to tell a story. It was hard to pick one, but after scrolling through a couple of times, I finally settled for Alaya Heer Signature Ivory Anarkali Set with choker dupatta.
“The Alaya Heer Signature Ivory Anarkali Set with Choker Dupatta”
I loved the pristine ivory colour of the outfit. The dress is made from soft chiffon material with a comfortable lining inside (you don’t really feel it). I also loved the V-neck of the kurta and the Mukesh embroidery around it which add festive vibes to it. The unique choker dupatta with embroidery compensates for the neck piece and make the dress look grand. The bottom is sharara style with an adjustable elastic and side zip for the fitting.
Design Aesthetic: Modern Meets Tradition
Alaya cater to the modern Indian woman—someone like me, who wants to look traditional and stand out yet blends in. Classic silhouettes with a contemporary twist ! I loved how the Anarkali set makes me look elegant yet not too traditional. Its grandeur with simplicity.
Their colour palettes range from bright reds, maroons and blacks to soft hues like blush pink, sage green, and ivory, making them versatile for both day and night functions.
Comfort & fit: Style Without Compromise
Best part about their collection is they are thoughtfully designed, not too heavy and cumbersome, so you can carry them out all day long. But that doesn’t mean they look any less grand.
Pricing: Premium Feel Without the Hefty Tag
Something I really liked about this brand is their outfits are not exorbitantly priced. The average price range from kurta sets etc is from INR 2000- INR 6000, which is pretty decent considering the quality of fabric, craftsmanship, and the sheer timelessness of each piece And currently festive sales is going on so a great time to grab a stealer deal.
Personal experience
Online shopping with Alaya by Stage 3 was a smooth experience. The outfit I ordered arrived in 2-3 days. They offer free shipping within India. You can exchange the outfits within 7 days of delivery and the return them too within 3 days (if at all you don’t like them)
Easy Return experience
The outfit I received, did not fit me properly and I needed a size bigger. Raising the return request was simple, within 3-4 days the dress was picked up and the new dress was dispatched which I received in 2-3 days.
This is how I styled Heer Signature Ivory Anarkali Set
I like to keep it simple ! The best part is, you don’t need too many accessories, a statement earring is good enough. The kurta is flowy, comfortable and light weight.
Another advantage is, I can wear the kurta as an elegant dress too.
Conclusion: A Must-Have in Your Festive Wardrobe 2025
Whether its Navaratri functions, Diwali get-together, a wedding function or simply dressing up for festival, you will find something relevant at Alaya by Stage 3. I am excited to style and wear my Anarkali dress at multiple occasions. You too check out their website and place your orders now.
