When I first got here, I had a couple shirts made there, and some of my friends (male and female) have also had various items made. The results have always been...meh. Wearable, but we got what we paid for. If you pay 900rmb (~US$115) for a suit, you'll most likely get a 900rmb suit.
It is an interesting place to visit, however, and I've gotten some nice knock-off ties and other ready made stuff for gifts. They moved into a modern, air con building last year, so it's more pleasant to visit in the summer than in years past.
