Help! Custom Made/Designed Clothing

Hey girls, does anyone know where is a good place to have custom made clothing done? or a tailor that would do it (a full outfit)? I'm totally stuck on this one. !!!!!

No one? not even someone in chinatown or something?

If you can speak a bit of Chinese there is a great tailor in the Robson Public Market. I was talking to him today and he said he worked as a patternmaker in HK and here when he came to Canada. He said he could sew something up as long as you gave him measurements and bought your own material.

I have a favorite coat I want to have copied as its kind of worn out. Also he said if you show him something in a magazine he can try to copy it. He is really a nice guy and does good alterations for me.

Thanks! I don't speak Chinese but I can always drag along a friend. I'll look into it.

He can speak English too but its easier of course if you converse in Cantonese. Just show him in detail what you want and it should be fine. One of the things he was making was covers for some cushions.
