Recently I had a suit made for my sons' Yr 12 Ball at
Janoko Tailor in Poppies Lane 2, Legian St, Kuta
phone (0361) 753230
fax +62 361 753230.
Cost was $AUS50 using their material (plenty to choose from) though I took my own lining on the recommendation of other BTF members as their lining can be a little stiff apparently. They have plenty of books from which you can choose a style. Alternatively take pics of a suit you wish them to make, as I did. It took approx. 3days to make & 1 extra day to do the adjustments necessary after the first fitting.
I would also use Janoko for the making of the ball gown. There should be info in the archives on this re: cost, fabric, style etc.
Alta Moda is a fabric shop where you could look for beautiful fabrics if the tailor does not have what you are after.
Good-luck!
