    Cheongsam?

    Hi,

    I am looking for recommendations for somewhere to have a cheongsam made. I am not necessarily looking for cheap as I want good quality over price.

    I live in Causeway Bay but work in the NT, so it does not have to be in any specific area.

    Any ideas?

    Try also, Yue Wah the chinese department store in Nathan Rd. My cousin went there a few years ago and got one made to measure and you can pick your own fabrics. Otherwise, there are stores in Sham Shui Po where they have them ready made but will adjust to size.

    I can highly recommend Linva Tailor in Cochrane Street (next to the escalator) for Cheong Sams. Shanghai Tang is way overrated and quite expensive too in my opinion.

    Thanks all!
    I didn't want to go to Shanghai Tang as I would rather have one made to measure and where I could pick the fabric.
    Ricster - I'll check out the department store!
    Elle - that also sounds interesting - I'll give them a go too!

    Thanks!
