Re: Need advice on tailoring site option
hi to alll the gupshup gang!
Its been quite awhile since ive been on here, used this for research for my
basically i need advice from you guys, there was this plan in my head that hatched at the time when i was trying to get good pakistani clothes for my jahez sitting in london! And now that i have moved to pakistan, lahore maybe its time to put that plan into action.
Basically im sure many people have done this before, whether it was a success story or not im not too sure about that. Im thinking of running a website from which people sitting in the uk can order clothes, rather than giving them options and a large small medium size chart i want it to be perfect and tailored to there needs, so they basically tell me what material, what style, and exact measurements and i go out here get the fabric and get it stitched and sent to them. how does that sound? i thought of this because i wished someone had done something like this for me during my wedding time, as fashion in uk is alot slower and so not up to date with whats happening here in lahore! And for example a normal suit in southall, london that comes in small medium large is about £50 atleast and im talking about a chiffon type material with some kaam on, for eg panjaab textiles, banwait brothers all give suits for like £40-£60 if not more and dont forget thats just unstitched fabric, then also there was this shop i looked at in southall called dhanak, now ista pakistani wear shop, had really good clothes, tehy were available in small medium n large and i mean it was one of the only shops in southall that was upto date with pakistani fashion ( lambi kameez and trousers and frocks) so i liekd something whch was basically a purplish frock with some threadwork and some diamontes, i tried a medium on n the plates where abit wonky to start with however it wasnt anything my mum coundnt fix! so i was thinking of buying it and when i looked at price it was £80 just for that!! crazynees!
which is why i thought why not set up this website, it gives me a chance to make a little something extra on the side, its keeps me busy here and on my toes and its something nice for others aswell. And about the charges im thinking for a normal chiffon suit with threadwork sewed to ur style and tailored to your eaxct sixe and delivered to your door i would charge £40-£45.However nothing is fixed yet as im still not sure about this, which is why i require you guys to give me your feedback and wether there are any possible customers i could serve???
thanks guysssss
