Be careful with your fabric. Good idea to have one made up in cheap fabric. I've had so many things made over the years, some turned out brilliant, others didn't (same tailor at the same time). Sometimes it was too baggy and looked like a tent, other times too tight and although it was fixed, it wasn't quite right. They will do their best to get it right but you don't want to take the risk with such expensive fabric. Also, be careful if you want to make a change to the outfit you're having copied. I've had things copied identically except all I wanted was the length of the pants longer than the original, no other changes. Well, they increased the length but they also increased everything else so the crotch was too long! Not a good look!!! Just some warnings and advice, don't be deterred. I still intend to have things made when I go next month.
