Getting measured up

Getting measured up, originally uploaded by sazztastical.

As part of our Big China Adventure we decided we'd get some clothes tailor made for ourselves. So with that in mind we visited the Yashow Market - up near the Worker's Stadium - in Beijing. From all the different guide books we'd read it seemed like this was one of the better ones and the fact that they do stuff in two days fitted in with our itinery too.

So along we went on Saturday night - chose our material, got measured up by Wendy and then paid our deposit. I'm getting a suit and two shirts and Beth is getting two suits and a shirt. In total it's costing us just under £200. Not bad really. The suits are about £48 each and the shirts £8. We had to go back the next day for a fitting and we'll pick them up today (Monday). Our next problem is going to be how exactly we will fit them into our suitcases. I'm wondering if they can make us one of those too.
