Stop Shopping And Start Tailoring

How many times have you talked yourself into buying something less than perfect?

You justified the purchase because it was the latest trend or you loved the fabric or color, but then it hangs forlornly in your closet waiting to be worn. Let's face it; you are never going to wear it because it just doesn't fit well. Oh, it might fit well in the butt, but be too big in the waist or it's a great color, but it's too tight.

Free yourself from the frustration by going to a tailor!

Want to combine your two favorite pastimes, shopping and traveling? Plan a trip to the Far East. Asia has long been known for a wide selection of tailors as well as stunning spas and resorts, so plan to combine both. Traditionally the bastions of fine tailoring have been located in Hong Kong and Thailand, but mainland China is starting to increase its share of the custom market. This makes sense as many of the people who do the actual sewing in Thai tailor shops are of Chinese origin. Due to the fact that many flights to Asian destinations pass through Bangkok, this is an easy way to delve into the world of custom tailoring.

You cannot walk down the street in Bangkok without passing a tailor shop. The abundance of bangkok tailors makes finding a tailor seem like an easy task, but the sheer volume of choices can create difficulty.

So how do you find a good tailor? It's not a good idea to just walk into the first promising shop as once inside the storeowners are well versed in how to seduce a potential customer. Do your homework before landing. Research the Internet for customer reviews and search for articles in the finest travel magazines recommending certain shops. Avoid the shops that have signs plastered on them advertising 2 suits and 5 blouses all for some ridiculously low sum. The choice of fabrics will be poorer, the styles outdated and the quality will be low.

Also, never let a tuk tuk or taxi driver take you to a tailor, they are getting a good commission for doing so and don't have your best interest at heart. Finding a tailor who can do women's clothing well is the hardest part. You can visit some of the best known tailors in the city who can make a fabulous men's suit for your husband or boyfriend yet be disappointed in the one they made for you. Most tailors in Bangkok are geared towards men's clothes. A few of the most reputable ones will steer you away, but most will accept your business with less than satisfying results. Let's face it; women's bodies are vastly different than men's. Our beautiful curves mean the tailor needs to be really practiced to get a great fit all the way through. The first tailor I visited in Bangkok was proof of this. I had even brought two blouses I owned so all they had to do was make copies as opposed to taking my measurements and creating the shirts from scratch. Even with a blouse to work from, when I tried one of the shirts on it didn't fit well even considering it was simply a copy of the original shirt. Fast-forward to three more visits each time sending the shirt back for more work. It just never fit right. To the tailors' credit they only charged me for the two other blouses that were ok and even gave me the one that didn't fit without charging me.

Therefore, I set out to investigate another shop where a website customer post mentioned they were great at women's clothes. The shop is called Tailor Pro and it is located in the basement level of the Somerset lake point hotel right convenient to all parts of the city. Despite the fact that there were male customers there it was clear that Dee, the owner, understands women. After being offered the ubiquitous beverage I sat on the sofa and browsed some of the latest catalogs from Joan and David, Escada etc. Dee is very honest about what styles would flatter and also knows a lot about fabrics. She will show you the difference in quality or explain why a dress style won't work well with a certain type of fabric. The interaction creates a sense of luxury as much as the finished clothes do. Having someone completely focused on you for a period of time is similar to when women get married and it's all about the bride during the wedding.

Frustrated by my previous inability to get a great fit from clothes off the rack I hadn't invested in any nice clothes in years and I quickly became a TailorPro addict. Getting a piece of clothing custom made was as much of a therapeutic experience for me as getting a massage or my hair done. My closet is proof of that. So is my confidence that I look great in my clothes - I should as they were made just for me! A few final tips: In order to get the perfect fit, you will need to make sure you have enough time in your vacation schedule for a first fitting and then some additional alterations as needed. A smart strategy would be to fly into Bangkok, visit the tailor and see the Grand Palace and other city sites, and have your first fitting. Then head off to a great resort town like Phuket or Samui visiting beautiful beaches and having spa treatments. Or you can even fly to one of Thailand's neighbors such as Laos or Cambodia for a week. On your way back out of Bangkok you can pick up your new clothes or arrange someone to bring them to the airport if you are only transferring through. Another method is to bring a favorite item of clothing you own that already fits great and ask them to copy it, which will speed up the process a little. The best thing of all is that they will keep your measurements on file.

Once you get back home and everyone compliments you on your flattering clothes you can order more and have them shipped to you. Isn't that a lot more luxurious than fighting for a parking space and standing under a harsh fluorescent light bulb while you tug at a piece of clothing that doesn't fit?

About the Author

There are a number of tailors that I would hapilly suggest to anyone travelling to Bangkok and thinking about visiting a tailor. I would certainly advise researching online before your trip and making sure you read many reviews of all the different tailors, but be weary that they have cunning ploys to falsify material online. There are hundreds of Bangkok tailors so make sure that you choose wisely.

I am looking for an organised trip by boat along the mekong to Vanvieng, Luang prabang and Pak beng. Anyone?

got any tour compnaies in mind. The ones I have seen are so expensive. Will be travelling from Bangkok

just get yourself to Laos from Thailand. there's 5 places to cross I think. I went from Nong Khai across the Thai-Australian Friendship Bridge in 2005. You can get a 15 day tourist visa real easy and from there you can plan your next moves (cheaper here than you could sort in Bangkok). Me and my mate chilled in the Laos capital Vientiane for a few days and took a bus to Vanvieng. From here we bussed to Luang Prabang and then took a slow boat (two days) up the Mekong and crossed back into Thailand at Chiang Khong. Then back down through Thailand via Chiang Mai, Sukhotai and Lop Buri.
I'm guessing you're not in Thailand at the moment but you'll find traveling about over there dead easy and pretty cheap - it's better to sort things out over there than trying to plan and pay for things before you leave. Besides, you want to stay flexible so do it as you go.
Have a great time. I want to go back!

Travel through Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam?

Hello,
We are 2 American women age 30 who live in Phuket Thailand. We have one month holiday in July and thought about taking a long train trip around to see some things in the countries above. Anything you would strongly advise we see or stay away from? Places to stay or great food or markets?
We don't have a really low budget, but can't afford top resorts, either. Sort of middle of the road stuff.
Any tips greatly appreciated.
Thank you :)
We would fly to Bangkok and start from there.

hey i just got back from a 10 month trip around that part of the world (im taking a gap year and im 19, i would say that traveling as a women there is not scary) the only issue is the time that you guys have i would recommend that you see cambodia and vietnam. or laos and cambodia.
in cambodia get the 3 day pass for angkor wat- that is really the must see in my opinion ! it will blow your mind, it is so magical. and cambodia in my opinion is totally slept on- it is a wonderful country. in laos with only a week i would go to luang prabang - but traveling there is much much more difficult than vietnam, so i would recommend going to vietnam instead heres what might be nice.
fly into sim reap spend 3 or 4 days going to angkor wat and dont miss the land mine "museum", go to phnom phen its a really wonderful city, some great restaurants nice places to stay, you'll enjoy it- make sure and go to the foreign correspondents club there its a nice break from the chaos.- and the food is quite a contrast from the fried bugs on the street.
then either go to the beach- it might be what your used to so you can skip and go straight to vietnam
hcm city is like bangkok , but give it a moment and youll find it hass its own charms, head up to na trang, i think you can skip mui nay, in na trang chill out at one of the beach clubs and eat really really good pho on the street, and go out at night- fun town. fly up to hanoi its a 60 dollar flight, and see hallong bay - but make sure you pick the right tour company- i did the one that takes you to a private island DONT GO TO CAT BA, ive head horrible things about that part of the trip. then go back to hannoi and hit sappa in the north- it gets a bit chilly so buy some sweaters there, it will be a different experience from what youve got in thailand in july.
have fun.
