Here's what I purchased.
2 Shirts: 300rmb - 150 each
(I guess labor is getting more expensive, Wendy wouldn't budge on these, as a friend also found on his last visit.)
1 Suit (Premium fabric): 1200rmb
(Wendy is now getting her hands on better fabrics; depending on your style / wallet might be worth the extra $. A different fabric would have been 900-1000 rmb)
1 Blazer (Prem. Fabric): 700 rmb
I finally made it to her store in Sanlitum. & did buy 3 shirts for 500 rmb, She said the 150rmb per shirt was last years price. Also, my tall 4XL size may of been a little extra on the needed fabric for the shirts.
Wish she had more fabric selection for a summer blazer. Thanks for the post.
Oh, BTW, on the 2nd floor i did buy a 'genuine imitation' polo shirt, (4XL) for 50 rmb.
