It is very easy to get an inexpensive exact replica of your favourite pants or dress in China. At the textile market you can buy the cloth of your taste and at the shops across the road they produce a replica in a few days. Due to the language barrier it is hard to make customized suits. If you do want a customized suit, the best you can do is to go to a high-class hotel where there are often English speaking tailors that make customized suits for a reasonable price.

Reviews / Textile market


If you are looking for fabric and simple custom seamstress work, this is the place to go. Covering a very large couple of city blocks, it is a maze of small shops selling everything from denim to cotton to silk by the square meter. I bought some very beautiful silk fabric and embroidered panels for about 35 yuan per square meter (about 4 - 5 dollars a square yard - try finding that in America!) There are whole groups of seamstresses that will sew the fabric for you for a very cheap price - I had a silk comforter cover with a nice embroidered silk panel for a King size comforter made for less than 400 yuan (about 60 dollars US) - including the seamstresses' fee!
