Subhash Tailor, one of the first Indian tailoring shops on Devon Avenue in Chicago, opened for business on May 20, 1986. Subhash Arona’s wife Svarna (seated, left) adjusts Raj Wadhwa’s churidar (leggings) that accompany the tunics traditional in northern India as Rahana Mahmoud and Svarna’s daughters Priti and Tarun look on. As the community grew, families found opportunities to earn a living offering specialized Indian services such as tailoring, catering, and bridal makeup to the original immigrants as well as to their children.
