I will on holiday in Mumbai from Vancouver so that I would be new to the place. A friend of mine has asked me to bring back her a salwar kameez (Indian dress), but neither have researched about a salwar kameez dress or know where I would be able to find one. Please help me know where I would be able to find a shop that sells salwar kameez. Can shop keepers rip you off when selling salwar kameez?
