Can you also comment on current rates for suits, ladies pants, ladies blazers and skirts? Assume high end wool and fabrics, horn buttons, metal zippers and generally high end finishes. Just an idea would be helpful.
I plan to meet with Lisa on our arrival day and will negotiate a package deal for what you see below. I figure doing everything with one tailor will give us some buying power. I already reached out to Lisa directly on email and told her what we want to have made and when we will be arriving. She is expecting us and will be there when we arrive.
Mens
2 suits $200 each
2 sport jackets $100 each
5 shirts $25 each
2 pants $50 each
1 tuxedo probably $250 - $300 each
Total $1,125
Ladies
2 suits $200
1 pencil skirt $100
2 wide cuffed pant $50
3 shirts $25
D&J was also highly recommended on here so I'm uncertain as to which one to actually choose. I think I'll stick with Lisa unless someone has a strong feeling one way or another and has experienced the work and pricing of both.
**revising this comment to add the USD pricing I've gathered from earlier posts and other threads. Want to determine a good baseline to work with in my negotiations.***
