2) Our local tailors
There are many fantastic tailors in Hong Kong, including Dynasty Tailors near Hong Kong Stadium in Causeway Bay district; Royal Tailor in Central CBD district; or L&K Tailor and British Tailors in Tsimshatsui across the Victoria Harbour in Kowloon side. These tailors can get you tailor-made men’s suits/shirts or women’s dress within 3-5 days.
But do expect most people will take this chance to go tailoring during this peak period. My little advice is to make an appointment in advance before your arrival in Hong Kong. This will save you from the long queues, and get the tailor shop owners ready to serve you.
You can make online appointments easily with your preferred Hong Kong tailors at tailor-m.com, which is an online tailoring platform for people to search, compare and make appointments with Hong Kong tailors.
