Hi Elizabeth
I just got back from back early feb. I have been going to the same tailor for years. There name is BALI BRUMBY. This time I had some tops made(being tall i find tops from the shops at home are never long enough) and two evening dresses from up coming weddings. They did a brilliant job!!!!
Their dressmaker has been making dresses for 15 years, so he knows what hes doing!!
The shop is located in Kuta:
JL. Dewi Sartika, Kuta Center Block F no 14.
There email is balibrumby05@yahoo.co.id
Feel free to email Putu to ask questions or send a picture of the design you like(if you do send a picture and you want an estimated price you will need to tell him your australian dress size).
While I was over there he made a wedding dress from an Australian lady, she sent over a couple of pictures, one showed what she wanted the bottom to look like and the other showed the top. She was very happy with the finished product.
You don't have to send a picture, you could take a picture over with you, pick one out of their pattern books or you can do what I did and if you see a dress you like at a shop or other tailor, make note of where it is and putu will go and have a look at it and draw it up for you.
Putu actually lives in Sanur, so if you prefer he could go to your hotel or villa to take measurements and for fittings.
If you have any other questions for me feel free to email me.
have a great holiday!!!!
