Information on tailors

Hi everyone,

I want to know where do I get tailors to stitch simple Salwar Kameez and Frocks ? Are there any special "Tailor Markets" where many tailors sit in a row with their sewing machines to take orders ? Also what is the delivery period like ? Do they deliver the finished dress within a week in Kolkata ?


Thanks

In every locality there will be local tailoring shops. Just ask your neighbours which one they recommend.

Most big cloth material shops(where you buy the salwar kameez pieces) have contacts with a tailor. you can ask them too.

There are certain localities where a large number of tailors traditionally work( metiaburuz) but they work with large dress manufacturers and tailoring shops. They will usually not take small orders from unknown customers.
