Still waiting for refund @pallandpearl

After my previous post gained a lot of attention and other people started sharing their experiences, she reached out to me directly and said that she would refund me. She asked me to take down my previous post and told me that after 6–7 days, she would initiate the return request and issue my refund.

It has now been more than 10 days, and I have not received any further response from her.

What is confusing is that she has been active on Instagram during this time, posting about her clothes and current sales. So while I am still waiting for the refund she specifically promised me, she has continued to be active and sell through her page.

I have screenshots of our conversation where she contacted me, asked me to take down the post, and promised the refund. I also have screenshots showing her Instagram activity during this period.

Someone had already joked that this would happen, and unfortunately it seems like that prediction may have been right.

I am posting this as an update because I genuinely thought the matter had finally been resolved when she contacted me herself. I'm so sick of her.

Ordered a custom kurti. Received an unwearable top and was refused a refund. @pallandpearl

I saw the accountability post that was made recently, and I appreciate that she has acknowledged that some customers have had bad experiences and that refunds are being given. I still wanted to share my experience because I am one of those customers, and my issue has not been resolved.

I ordered a custom outfit on May 4 for a shoot I had planned, and after more than a month of back and forth, I received something I couldn't wear for the shoot at all.

I’m not going to go into everything. I’ll just mention three things.

First, I repeatedly mentioned throughout our conversations over a month that I wanted a short kurti, not a top. When I pointed it out, she did not seem to care about it at all.

Second, even putting aside the fact that I did not receive what I had actually asked for, the top I received itself was not worth wearing. The pictures she uses to advertise her work are heavily edited and, AI-generated to make the clothes look much cleaner and more polished. Her actual work is extremely amateurish.

And third**,** what are those straps? They look so bad.😭😭DIABOLICAL. The work is not neat.

I’ll attach the pictures so people can see for themselves.

In the screenshots, she sents me a sample picture of what the length would look like, and that picture is attached here. But what i received was much shorter

She then asked me for the length, and I told her the longer side should be around 19 inches. The pictures I've attached of the actual product show that the top I received measures only 13 to 14 inches.

At that point, I genuinely don't understand how this could be dismissed as a simple misunderstanding. I repeatedly asked for a short kurti. Please take your top back. I want to be refunded.

Urgent Request for Photographer Recommendations

Hi everyone. This is a bit of an urgent ask.

I’m an actress based in Kolkata, and I’ve been in a pretty brutal dry spell for the last 6 months. My agents have very politely informed me that if I don’t update my portfolio soon, they probably can’t keep me on their roster. Which is fair.

So I urgently need new photographs taken. Proper actor portfolio pictures, not “my cousin with an iPhone and divine confidence” pictures.

The issue is that the kind of looks/shoots I need would realistically take 2 days, and most photographers I know are understandably expensive.

So I’m putting this out here in the hope that someone might know a photographer, photography student, creative team, or even someone skilled with a camera who might be willing to help me out, collaborate, or do this as a favour at a reduced cost.

Please DM me.

Thank you. Truly.

nabard study partner

Hello everyone.

I’m preparing for NABARD 2026 and looking for a serious study partner, preferably female since I’m female as well. I had prepared for 2025 too and had completed most of the syllabus, including Phase 2 preparation, so I’m starting early again this time.

The idea is mainly to maintain consistency, discuss doubts/resources occasionally, and keep each other accountable. I’m planning to study at least 2 hours daily, so looking for someone with a similar level of commitment.

If anyone is interested, please DM me 😄
