I have a tailor in Meena bazar by the name of "A.B's Stitch", they are on face book also. The charges are reasonable and cutting and finishing of garments very good. Get in touch with them on FB for further info.

Do all of the tailors mentioned on here charge 100dhs (or higher) to copy blouses/ tops. Any idea about tailors who charge lower. Also, how long do they take to finish blouses??

Just over from Satwa is Pelins Tailoring in Meena Bazar. She is WONDERFUL! She made my wedding dress from scratch based on photo's of a dress I liked and the end result is stunning! Her attention to detail and passion for what she does shines through in abundance, and Pelin herself is lovely. Wedding dresses aside she'll copy anything, I have pretty much my whole (very worn out and tired) work wardrobe lined up ready for her to copy!! I originally found her via a recommendation on here so am glad to pass on that recommedation having used her first hand. pelinstailoring@gmail.com 050 1656598 Loopy Lotti! Thank you for that post. i also need a wedding dress for Sept which is to be copied from a picture. I did find one other dressmaker but she is far to expensive for me to pay out that money for an informal / intimate beach wedding. Is Pelin expensive? i have sent her a email with my pic, so hopefully she will see me on Sat????

I am currently using Qassar Al Anaqa The Tailor is Ramnik I buy all of my fabric from Regent and the quality is always good for the price .. As you go down the one way street for Satwa Road you go past Satwa clinic on the left before the municipality office turn at the street past Al Jumairah it's not accessible by car .. its a little side street and its the second shop on the left . Has lace curtains up on the windows .. looks NOTHING like you would expect - But I took one item in first just to check him out about 4 months ago - its a Jeager wrap dress - he made one up and its better than the original ..... cost 240 to make and the fabric was 140 but if you consider that the original cost 2750aed then its a bargain ... so far he has coied COAST "Aruba" tops and dresses which was 120aed for the top and 180aed for the dresses they are 700+ aed for the dresses .. I have had 6 items ( dresses and linen trousers ) lifted and taken in ... all perfect ... he has made a dress from a picture ... needed small adjustments but now its fab .. and now DH went with us last night to have a shirt made - We will just try him first on menswear .. 120 for the making .. it was 90 for the fabric from regal.. he is open 9-1 and 4-9 daily - no closure on fridays x
