Tailors
 
Hi all, I'm sure that I've read a thread or post about tailors recently but couldn't find it when I looked. Soooo I'm looking to get a dress and a few pairs of trousers made. Can anybody recommend any good ladies tailors?
Thanks so much

Hi everybody, ended up going to 'dream girl' in bur dubai today. Have ordered two dresses and a pair of trousers so will let you know how I get on. Only thing which I will be careful of next time is material - wasn't 100% on material and lining that I got. If anybody has recommendations for good material shops please let me know for next time. Scamp thanks might try Viva Style Lounge next time.

You just need to walk around Satwa, where the mosque is. We did that for the mrs and eventually found the perfect material. Got to go in lots of shops if you're picky like her!

Received dresses and trousers - was not very impressed at all. However it's another Dubai thing to do ticked off the list so no harm done!

Next time I'll try Viva Style Lounge - seems to be popular with quite a few folk.
