Hi there,
We had two ball gowns and one after ball party dress made in January. I found details for Putu at Brumby Tailors in Kuta off this forum, emailed him a picture of one of the dresses, both were similar, he emailed back the same day with a price of 650,000.00 which I though was very good. In the end he charged me 1,000,000.00 for 1 ball gown, the after ball short party dress, a tie and hankie for the boys suit. Everything was perfect took 5 days to make all of that and another ball gown, tie and hankie for my daughters friend. We took our own material that we had brought last year in Denpasar, the material cost us $1.00Aud per metre and the colour selection available was 10 times what you can get here in WA.
In respect of measurements I got onto the web and printed out a measuring sheet, took the measurements myself, was worried as daughter wasn't in Bali with us for fittings etc. Breathed a huge sigh of releif when we got home, the dress fits like a glove and we can't wait for the ball.
I have left my email open if you would like more details and I can email pictures.
