Where to tailor clothes =D

[gasband]

I usually tailor my shirts and pants in Bangkok and after a few hits and misses, found one that I think have a reasonable price and quality. BKK tailors are really hits and misses, you can go to the same tailor 5 times and you can get different experiences with the quality.

And I have decided and also since I hardly go BKK nowadays, to look for a local tailor. I have more or less zoom into Dylan and Son. But first, I am a tall and fat guy. 1.82m tall and probably now over 130 KG haha... so anyone who is also overweight and has good experiences with Dylan? I do not mind paying 100+ per shirt for reasonable quality of cos and of course I would not mind cheaper rates but it must be of reasonable quality!

So anyone who is overweight like me wanna intro any good experiences?

Just tailored a shirt at dreamland..waiting time is 2 weeks -_-. But I like the lady boss..very friendly to me

Used to tailor my stuffs at michael chain but his selection of fabrics is really limited and outdated. No offense...but his service and end products is good.

I will drop by tmr and see what she can do.

I just dropped by yesterday. She loosened the chest area and elbow area for me such that it's more comfortable now. No charges. I even offered to pay.

Should be able to fix yours.

But in future, if you want it slim but not too tight at the back, can consider doing pleats at the back, based on her advice, so that you have allowance when you stretch your arms forward.

Cheers!

Might as well go to Dylan? I think my mum knows the mum of the owner of Dylan as well.

I saw my friend's shirts from there.

He paid double of what I did, can't say it's worth the difference.

Yes it's on the first floor, #01-39 if I remember right. I just went to collect my suit today. You would want to call and make an appointment beforehand as he only does fittings on appointment basis.

Hi all, need to alter working pants to slim fit cut.
Any place in orchard/town area that I can go to?

I use Alter Pro

They used to be at OUB Centre but have shifted to Hong Leong Building basement...

Look for Melia - she's better IMHO
