Since I'm only in PVG for 3 full days, and don't want to spend the whole three days in the Fabric Market (which I understand is where the good bargains are), does anyone have any suggestions about getting measured up where I live in London, and sending my measurements ahead of time, and then just going for a fitting when I'm there? Would it even work?

I'm just looking for some shirts, a suit and possibly (if the price is right ) a tuxedo too.

Any help appreciated...
