If you take a sample- they copy by measuring and do not pull garment apart- great if you have that perfect fit skirt etc.
I have clothes made every few months with PUTU (Cukuk) at Merrys leather in Legian opposite fairy shop in Padma Utara.
He has my measurements- and I just tear out pics from Vogue mags or pics off the internet from Chanel, Versace etc- Its an endless source, and they study the pics and make exactly to photo- Brilliant!
Have had many business suits made also, and boots and shoes.
My girlfriends joke I have paid them enough to feed and educate an entire regency in Bali for a lifetime.
He has even posted me back to australia - garments I wanted made ASAP.
WARNING; always order and measure up early in the trip- to allow for alterations, etc....especially if you are a foodie and want to indulge in many of Bali's culinary delights.
I always get a bit of swelling, fluid retention in the tropics.
by the time you arrive home- the weight should be back to normal.
ALTA MODA is a lovely place to source different fabrics- take pics there too. ....Have fun!!!!>
