may i ask, can alteration be done for formal shirts - the waist area
cos when its tucked in, quite flappy = alot of excess cloth hanging around, and feel bulky.

any good & cheap tailors for this job? i might do afew piece if anyone can refer me to..and also the estimated price.

thanks!

I would do this at my own tailor. Just that he won't accept any walk-in customers so can't recommend him to you.

You may want to try Za Altera.
P/S: All, where is this guy kotmj? Does he get banned or what? No, I don't miss him, just curious.

any idea on the price range like? so i don't get chopped on the spot.
Or they go by scale/section?


Added on February 2, 2012, 12:57 pmJust enquired at za altera 1u. It's 45 per shirt (double stitch)
Is it reasonable?

What do they actually do to slim it down?

Just 2 darts at the back? Or they actually remove the sides and restich it etc?

the latter i guess... the mentioned something double stitch, and was referring to the 2lines of stitch on my shirt..
So that i think is how they gonna alter it.

Depends on the cost of the original shirt, you can get a new slimfitted shirt for RM50 anyway.....

Or spend RM200~ and get a tailor made shirt....

Why RM50 would be unbranded? A normal brand such as Renoma, Durban etc cost around RM100~150, wait for 70% discount and you got yourself a deal.

hmm, normally those heavily discounted ones are either not slim fit or bad design hmm.gif
but its ok, thanks for your opinion... diff ppl diff taste brows.gif
