In Reply to: Do tailors/dressmakers have set prices? posted by mandurahgal on Tuesday, 16. February 2010 at 15:54 Bali Time:
If you are getting several of something, get a decent price on one, and then ask for additional discount for a few.
Once this is done, you may want to get just one done first as an example, and once happy, go with the rest.
Make sure that any fittings, zips etc are good quality.
Get say three quotes before deciding, and the lowest may not neccessarily be the best....be mindful of quality and workmanship....it is a compromise.
Don't leave placing your order too late in the trip, as if anything goes wrong it is a panic to fix and may not get fixed properly.
Tell the tailor you are going home a couple of days before you actually are....this leaves some time up your sleeve, just in case their are no sleeves!!
Can't help with the rest.
