Tailoring a dress based on unique requirements takes both skill and time. If you’re in Phuket – anywhere on the island – and considering having a dress tailor-made by professional dress tailors, you might be wondering how long the process will take. At Tailors Bangkok, we understand that you might be on a tight schedule. Perhaps you’re only in Phuket for a couple of days as part of a longer Thailand vacation, or you’re mainly just in Phuket before you head off to Khao Lak or Koh Yao Yai or Koh Yao Noi. No matter the reason, we’re here to try and cater to your precise requirements – including busy schedules as well as possible.
The short answer is that you can have a dress tailored in Phuket with us in as few as 2 or 3 days, although we normally ask for 4-5 days including ample time for fittings based on your schedule.
Here’s a breakdown of the time needed in a regular scenario. If you’re on a tight schedule, we can normally speed up the timeframe as well by prioritizing your tailored dress – i.e. without compromising on workmanship quality. Just let us know in advance if possible and we’ll see what we can do.
Understanding the Tailoring Process
The time it takes to tailor a dress in Phuket depends on various factors, including the design complexity, any intricate detailing, etc. At Tailors Bangkok, we work so that every detail may be addressed based on your design specifications. Here’s how it works and when you can expect each step to take place:
- Initial consultation, including fabric selection and measurements (1st day)
The process begins with an initial consultation, where our Phuket dress tailors will discuss your design requirements with you. This will include advising on fabric options that may be suitable and customizing an existing design to your satisfaction – or working with you to come up with an existing dress design from scratch. We will also take your measurements, with consideration to the design of your dress. This process normally takes around an hour. - Tailoring process (1-2 days from start)
Once the design of your dress has been finalized, we will begin tailoring your dress. This process normally takes around 2 days. We will take care to tailor each detail to your design specifications. - Fitting (1-2 days from start)
We will meet with you for a fitting at a location convenient to you. This fitting session should last around 20-30 minutes and will allow us to see what adjustments need to be made for your dress to fit you well. - Adjustments (2-3 days from start):
Following the fitting session, we will make the required adjustments for your dress to fit you well. - Final Fitting (3-4 days from start):
Once the adjustments have been made, we will meet with you for a final fitting to see that everything is perfect. Minor adjustments, if required, are made during this step. This fitting session should last around 20 minutes. - Final adjustments and delivery (4-5 days from start):
Following the final fitting session, we will make any last adjustments for an excellent fit. We will then deliver your clothes to your preferred location in Phuket. It’s that simple.
