Title: Need to Know When Getting a Dress in China
1Need to Know When Getting a Dress in China
- China is well-known as the land of cheap custom
made clothes. There have lots of people who
already made fake custom clothes. Also there are
a few general tips when it comes in handling a
fabric market. In addition these tips hold true
for tailors with their own stores, and even the
tailors that make house calls. - If you are first time in handling a certain
business, you may consider staying in your shop
for the whole day. The majority fabric markets in
China have at least a dozen stalls. I constantly
recommend talking with numerous vendors to get a
general price range, even though the prices they
give to you are obviously negotiable. Its time
to pick your fabric when you settled on a
particular stall. The regularly low-priced
supplies are those fabric bolts lining. See the
fabric book if you want to see the different
kinds of good supplies. - The negotiating begins after youve determined
what item(s) you would like to made. Its a no
brainer that the more you buy, the more the
vendor will drop the price. Its very vital to
know that less material they use, the more you
can use that to your advantage. For example, a
short sleeve shirt will cost a bit less than a
long sleeve shirt, just as shorts will cost less
than pants. While the vendor may protest, saying
that the amount of fabric they save by making you
a short sleeve chinese shirt doesnt amount to
much, Ive found that they usually drop the price
if you remain firm. -
- Buttons s a small but important accessory in
dress. These tiny items can guarantee you a
long-lasting use and can give you an attractive
design in your dress. If you are looking to a
kind of buttons, be sure to ask particularly for
the good one because majority of the stores
usually sell a cheap kind of buttons except you
request. On the other hand, sometimes some
vendors sell buttons in a high amount but if you
are going to insist for a low price, vendor cant
do anything but to give your longing. - Usually if youre going to order a certain items,
you are required to pay half of the amount in
advanced. In the items that you order (ex.Chinese
Fabric) the vendors attach your receipt which
include of booth number and the amount that you
paid so whatever happen, dont lose it. -
- When you are going to buy clothes to a tailoring
store, be sure to fit everything first. If the
clothes that you want didnt fit to you exactly,
dont afraid to ask the tailoring shop to fix
again the clothes in order to you to fit exactly
because this is their responsibility in case it
happens. Dont allow anybody attempt and
encourage you that its supposed to fit that
way (like a vendor did to a friend of mine) if
it doesnt fit, insist that it gets fixed. - Finally, not all tailors are formed equal. Each
and every tailor has different level of skills,
so if you are a wise buyer, you consider first to
shop in each and every store around. If you do
this, you will notice that some stores sell in
cheaper and some is in higher price. When wearing
a chinese dress, be wisely because it reflects
the personality you have. - Website http//www.goodorient.com/ Asia Offices
