I got my maid hers stitched from Satwa. She wanted lots of pockets so 2 pockets in her trousers that are front facing with a zip and then she wanted 3 pockets on her top for keys and stuff ! I got her some in a thicker fabric for winter and some in a very soft lighter cotton for summer. she also wanted darker colours for when its that time of the month.I took her with me to Satwa and the fabric was really cheap. some of it was 10 aed per metre. it was 2½ metre for the suit but my maid is 5 ft tall. and the fabric was longer in length ( 54 inches rather than 45) took him 3 days to make the uniforms. I did look at the uniforms in Naif souk but the prints were really bright and bold and they needed alterations anyway because of my maids height so I would have paid a tailor anyway so this worked out better. Mine doesnt wear the clothes I purchased for her at all only her uniform as she wants to take them back to Indonesia with her.

Union corp has some good selection. I got few from their Al-Barsha store. Still going strong after 2 years.....no colour fading, no material damage. I think they were Dhs. 100 each. I bought some from there, but the material is very thick and it's all long sleeve back then, will try to check again...

There's a uniform shop at Spinneys Umm Suquiem. Normally the maid's uniforms are very thick material and not 100% cotton for the top ( which is important if they are carrying my child ), colours are horrible too but you could customise. What I did is chose one of the school fabrics for the top uniform to replicate the make of the blouse (big double pockets are important if they are taking care of small child, it's handy for milk bottles, toys, etc) and use the original material for the pants. When you customise, always remember to bring the maid with you and get the proper size that they could freely move ( not too tight, not too big). They will measure them there. I always take the light blue (sky blue) / white stripes for the top and plain sky blue for the bottom as I cannot see them wearing other colours but it's a very personal choice. Giving them uniform has many advantages: - The process of wearing the uniform prepares them mentally that they are going to their "work place" - They will not have to spend money on their own clothes that they will wear daily - They look more professional - They know that when they are in uniform, they are on duty We paid AED 1,400.00 for ours 2 x 6 sets each. edited by farthestpoint on 25/03/2014 Thanks!!! Problem is my maid keeps gaining and losing weight... she tries to diet and then takes some back! hahahaha but I will try to customize, thanks :)
