## Details

Delhi has high year-round tailoring demand from repeat customers plus sharp wedding-season peaks. Karol Bagh, Lajpat Nagar, South Extension and Chandni Chowk have boutique-tailoring hubs where skilled tailors bill ₹800–₹1,500 per blouse or wedding piece. At-home tailors (measurements and alterations at the customer's home) charge ₹250–₹625/hour and see growing demand from working women. Wedding season pushes a busy tailor to ₹35,000–₹60,000/month.

Jaipur has strong heritage-tailoring niches — bandhej, block-print and heritage bridal work command a 30–50% rate premium. Tourist season (October–March) adds custom-order demand from foreign visitors. Wedding season (October–February) is the main earning window. A Jaipur tailor earns ₹28,000–₹45,000 in peak, ₹12,000–₹18,000 off-season. Rent (₹5,000–₹10,000) is half of Delhi's.

On commission apps, both cities lose 15–30% per piece — devastating on a tailor's thin per-piece margins. A ₹500 blouse becomes ₹350–₹425 after commission. Solve24 charges zero per-piece commission, so the full stitching rate stays with the tailor. Wedding-season peaks are especially direct-relationship dependent.

## Verdict

Choose Delhi if you can build a boutique-tailoring or at-home service niche — the ₹15,000–₹60,000 range (with wedding peaks) is achievable in South Extension, Karol Bagh or Lajpat Nagar. Choose Jaipur if you specialise in heritage work (bandhej, block-print, bridal) or want lower-competition tailoring with strong tourist and wedding-season peaks. Both cities benefit hugely from direct-customer platforms.
