Everyone I worked with was very friendly; I had a suit tailored for me and I was very happy with it until the airport decided to destroy it (never check a tailored suit; lesson learned). </p> <p>Oh well, another "excuse" to get a new one </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-tips-for-shopping-andor-having-clothes-made-in-china-shanghai#post-327491 Thu, 07 Apr 2011 02:34:12 +0000 An 327491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, definatley not a typical asian figure :-p and no friend that speaks mandarin. I would love just to try it, so I might if I have time but I won't have high expectations! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-tips-for-shopping-andor-having-clothes-made-in-china-shanghai#post-327481 Thu, 07 Apr 2011 02:05:49 +0000 lyn* 327481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say if you are of typical asian figure, it's easier to get things made (because everyone is used to making clothes for that one shape). Also; take their suggestions for fabric type and choice.</p> <p>I have had no problems Also; if you have a friend who speaks mandarin, it makes life easier (and things cheaper) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-tips-for-shopping-andor-having-clothes-made-in-china-shanghai#post-327478 Thu, 07 Apr 2011 01:55:37 +0000 An 327478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie. We will have a ball! </p> <p>I might not worry about wasting my time with tayloring then. I could always buy some material and bring it back to have it made up by my tried and true dress maker! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-tips-for-shopping-andor-having-clothes-made-in-china-shanghai#post-327058 Wed, 06 Apr 2011 14:22:25 +0000 Angie 327058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have no tips for Shanghai, but I have heard that it rocks, so be adventurous and have a ball! </p> <p>Having clothes made is always a gamble. I vote nay, unless your expectations are low. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-tips-for-shopping-andor-having-clothes-made-in-china-shanghai#post-326986 Wed, 06 Apr 2011 10:02:36 +0000 An 326986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My husband and I are heading to Shanghai next week for a week. Part of the trip will be business but I will also have time for shopping / tailoring (of course). Do you have any tips to share on shopping in Shanghai and having things made? </p> <p>I have made a bit of a list of things I would like to get made. I think I have read somewhere that it is best to take along a picture of the style you want. </p> <p>I'm thinking silk scarves will be on the shopping list also. </p>
