...........what style you have made, if it's your own material , if you need lining etc. I had several styles made so hard to actually equate the exact cost for each one. However, you will be able to compare the prices to what it would cost you here(get a quote before you go), which is something like 5-10 times as much, and realise that their prices are very reasonable.
Komang usually gives a very good first-up price, but if you are having several garments made, you can ask for a small discount.
Re the time taken. If you need something in a hurry as my friend Vicki did last year - she arrived Friday 2pm, and wanted the dress by noon for a wedding the next day. And yes, it was ready for her!
However, a general rule of thumb is around 4-5 days(although it can be done faster if required), but always leave yourself a day spare for any alterations that might need to be done. Their turn-around for this is very prompt, so don't worry about that. Also, if you are going to Bali in peak season, they will be that much busier, so the time may take a bit longer.
Thanks for your comments re my postings. I have just posted a rather lengthy new one called "Taking A Walk Down Double 6 Rd". This is one of my favourite places for a day's shopping.
Also, if you check the Search the Forum under Addy of Oz, you will find lots of other much older posts I have done on a variety of things. I used to be an avid poster, but these days, tend to limit it to "new" stuff, except in the case of Ketut & Komang who I have known for many years, and also French Leather.
Appreciate your comments. Cheers!
