Does anyone have a good (current) recommendation for quality ladies' tailoring? All the threads I've been able to find are years old.
I'm particularly looking for a good evening dress tailor who can copy something from a picture - not a suit specialist.
Thanks!

Does it need to be in HK? Shenzhen OK?

Yeah, I wanted one in HK - thanks anyway! I've gone to Margaret Court Tailoress in D'Aguilar St.

Was Margaret Court Tailoress any good? expensive?

They were very good, yeah - but expensive. I paid $1,500 for my dress - and I supplied the material too. They had some (quite a lot) of material in stock, and could order other stuff in also, but I just bought mine at Western Markets. The ladies at Margaret Court were very happy for me to look around and try to find the cheapest price for the material, not hassling me to order through them.
Their English was excellent. They have lots of pattern books to look through.
They were very efficient and spent lots of time going over my ideas and modifying the pattern etc. But they seemed extremely busy and when I asked for my dress in two weeks, they did it, but it was a stretch - ie I picked it up an hour before I needed to head to the airport for a flight.
So...yes, they were good, but really pretty expensive. I've had stuff made in Shenzhen before for a fraction of the cost - worse service, but about the same standard of tailoring.
Well...that was helpful! ;)

same standard of tailoring in shenzhen? do you mind telling which store you went in shenzhen?

Honestly, I could take you there, but I have no idea of any of the details offhand! It was in Lowu. I had some fantastic maternity clothes made there a few years back, and my husband got a good suit from the same place.
I would have gone back there again but I didn't have the time to spare last month...
