The month-old website FunkyDory offers detachable bows, collars, frills and also customized designs to perfect your formal attire.
Love what Meghan Markle has been wearing to office on the TV show Suits? Well, now you can turn your boring shirt and trouser to a similar look with a few detachables.
Launched this month, the website FunkyDory offers detachable bow-ties, ties, and peplums that transform plain attire to a formal attire. “It is difficult to find the kind of formals +we see in movies, in India,” says Gayatri Thampi, 27, founder. “The detachable collars can make a simple formal dress, a fancy affair resembling the ones we see on screen.”

What to wear to office everyday was the question troubling Meryl Wright, 25, a marketing manager from Juhu. “With a limited number of formal dresses in my wardrobe, even mix and match didn’t help get a variety,” she says. “I saw a FunkyDory pop-up on social media and bought a black peplum for my skirt, it looked as a part of my black pencil skirt and made it look classy. The other had reached to me in three days, when I found that it was a little loose; they fit it to my waistline and bought it back in two days.”
The add-ons are made of a stretchable and wrinkle-free material called maraschino fabric and hence suitable for full-day at work. “We also offer customisation in sizes and types of add-ons. So if you like a formal look on TV and do not find it with us, we will make it for you,” says Thampi.
