Finding the right tailor for the garment

Tailoring work in Nepal ranges from everyday alterations and school uniforms to shirting and suiting, daura suruwal, sari blouses, kurta sets, bridal and occasion wear. A shop that excels at one of these will not necessarily be the right choice for another, and specialist occasion work usually needs to be commissioned well ahead of the date.

Agree the practical details before work begins: who supplies the fabric and lining, the measured stitching charge, how many fittings are included, what alteration after delivery costs, and the delivery date in writing. During festival and wedding seasons, workloads rise sharply and quoted timelines can extend, so confirm the date rather than assuming a usual turnaround.
