Tailors & Dressmakers
Every street in Bangkok it seems, boasts at least 4 or 5 tailor shops, so choosing one can be a daunting task. Naturally enough, quality can be an important factor when making your choice, and you are guaranteed of that with the selection we have in the database on BKK Town website. There are many unscrupulous tailors who won’t care the slightest if your “custom made” shirts fall apart after 4 or 5 washes. Here you find the best, and although you will invariably pay more for your garment, it will last for years.
Tailors & Dressmakers shops
Prices and quality of tailor shops in Bangkok vary depending on a variety of factors. Seek out tailors we recommend, and perhaps try a few before settling on one you feel comfortable with. Some tailors offer top quality suits made with Italian silk or wool, while others are happy to whip up a cheaper version with lesser quality fabric if that’s your preference. Several provide a 24 hour service and will come to your hotel to obtain your measurements if required.
Dressmakers
With the huge number of tailors and dressmakers in Bangkok, you can find one to satisfy your every fashion whim. Copies of much loved garments, fancy dress costumes, ball gowns and children’s clothes are a breeze for the nimble fingered artisans. Thai silk can be transformed into traditional style garments, or can be used for great effect in evening wear or special occasion outfits. Many women combine a holiday in Bangkok with a wedding dress order.
Perfect fitting
With quality workmanship at reasonable prices, you may well be able to spoil yourself with an entire new wardrobe of tailor made clothes. With clothes made to measure you are guaranteed a perfect fit for your body type – not always possible when shopping in stores! And because personal details and measurements are retained by the respective establishments, you can simply phone or email your tailor to request a new order when you return home.
Overseas delivery can also be arranged from most of the tailors in Bangkok.
