I went down to People's Park to get some shirting and suiting fabrics. I realised that by buying fabrics and going down to a tailor for just CMT, it will save me so much more $.
So I got myself some 100% Egyptian cotton and 100% Italian cotton, and wool + cashmere fabric. Then I went down to this really ah pek aunty kinda tailor shop at Chin Swee area and CMT 3 shirts and 1 pants.
This kinda old neighbourhood shops are the best. Their services are personal, their workmanship are good and cheap, and the clothes fit you to a T. The aunty, especially, was super chatty, which made my tailoring shopping experience so much nicer than walking into any other shops. The aunty even told me to "ni chi Jalan Sultan Textile Center mai bi jiao pian yi". Lol.
Despite their old facade (they have been there for over 30 years balls!) and their old age, their clothes are surprisingly modern looking.
I will take some pictures the next time I go and collect my clothes.
