I placed my order on Day 1 of the sale at around 11 PM, once the initial traffic surge died down. My wishlist had 23 items; I narrowed to 11 based on brand track record and original vs. marked-up prices. I cross-checked several 'original prices' against Myntra's own historical pricing — and yes, at least three items had their 'MRP' inflated right before the sale. That said, the genuine discounts on a few brands were real and significant.
| Item | Brand | Price Paid (Rs) | Quality (1-10) | Fit | Worth It? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Printed Anarkali Kurta | Biba | 899 | 7 | True to size | Yes |
| Embroidered Lehenga Set | INDYA | 1,499 | 6 | Skirt runs large | Marginal |
| Linen Straight Kurta | Fabindia | 649 | 8 | True to size | Yes — great deal |
| Palazzo Set | Libas | 549 | 5 | Palazzo too wide | No |
| Rayon Wrap Dress | Global Desi | 799 | 7 | Runs small | Yes |
| Chanderi Kurta | W | 749 | 8 | True to size | Yes |
| Embellished Kurti | No brand (private label) | 399 | 3 | Very inconsistent | No — returned |
| Silk-touch Saree | Mitera | 1,199 | 5 | N/A | No — returned |
| Floral Maxi Dress | AND | 899 | 7 | True to size | Yes |
| Salwar Suit Set | Soch | 799 | 6 | Slightly boxy | Acceptable |
| Georgette Dupatta | Various | 259 | 5 | N/A | No |
The Good
The Fabindia linen kurta at Rs 649 was the undisputed winner of my haul. Fabindia's sale prices are rarely this aggressive — the same kurta is usually Rs 1,490. The linen weave was genuine, the stitching at the placket and side seams was clean, and it washed well on my first machine cycle without significant shrinkage. If Fabindia items appear in your size during EORS, buy them without hesitation.
W Brand's chanderi kurta was another standout. The fabric has a subtle sheen and the kurta held its shape after wearing for six hours. At Rs 749 versus the usual Rs 1,595, this was a legitimate 53% discount — I verified the original price on W's own website before purchasing. The embroidery detailing at the neckline was precise and not the loose, scratchy work you see on cheaper pieces.
The AND floral maxi dress surprised me positively. Sizing was accurate (I ordered L based on AND's standard size chart), fabric was a good-weight polyester-viscose blend that doesn't cling, and the colour matched the website photography closely — which, after years of catalogue disappointments, felt like a small miracle.
The Bad
The unbranded embellished kurti at Rs 399 was everything I expected and feared from private-label sale fodder. The thread work was loose and already had three dangling embellishments when the parcel arrived. The fabric was a stiff, plasticky polyester that would be genuinely uncomfortable to wear for more than two hours. I initiated a return within 20 minutes of opening the package.
The Mitera silk-touch saree at Rs 1,199 was the most disappointing purchase. 'Silk-touch' is doing enormous lifting in that product name — the fabric is entirely synthetic, felt cheap in hand, and the zari border was printed, not woven. At that price point, I would much rather have bought a Suta or Rang Craft saree directly. I returned it and would strongly advise against Mitera's premium-priced synthetic sarees.
The INDYA lehenga set had an inflated MRP problem. The 'original price' was listed as Rs 4,999, making the Rs 1,499 sale price look like a 70% discount. But this exact set was visible on INDYA's website at Rs 2,299 three weeks before the sale — I had bookmarked it. So the real discount was closer to 35%, which is fine but not the steal it appeared to be. The skirt also runs at least a full size large — order down if you're set on INDYA lehengas.

Value for Money
Of my Rs 8,200 spend, I kept items worth approximately Rs 4,545. I returned Rs 3,257 worth of items (refunds take 7-10 days to Myntra wallet, longer for bank). The true 'value' purchases were from established brands with consistent sizing and quality — Fabindia, W, and AND. Myntra's private labels and lesser-known brands consistently underdelivered at every price point.
Who Should Buy
- Shoppers who have already identified specific items from known brands like Fabindia, W, or Biba and want to watch for sale pricing
- People comfortable with returns and willing to spend time filtering out inflated MRP claims
- Those who need western occasion wear — AND and Global Desi perform much more consistently than their ethnic categories
- Budget-conscious buyers looking for workwear kurtas from mid-tier brands — this is genuinely the best time to stock up
Skip If
- You want genuine silk or handloom — the EORS almost entirely features synthetic alternatives, and the real deals on those categories are rare
- You hate dealing with returns — a meaningful percentage of EORS orders will need to go back, and the process, while functional, is time-consuming
- You're buying for a specific event with a tight deadline — delivery timelines stretch significantly during the sale period, and not all items ship when promised
OUR VERDICT
Myntra EORS is worth engaging with strategically, not with an open wallet. Go in with a specific wishlist of established brands you already trust, verify MRPs against third-party price trackers beforehand, and size up on anything from INDYA or Libas. Expect to return 30-40% of your order — and if you're okay with that process, you can find genuine value. It is not, however, the sale revolution Myntra's marketing team would have you believe.
