of Merry's collection in Jalan Padma Utara is fantastic.He is a very talented tailor & also does wonderful work with women's after 5,casual & work wear.He speaks very good English & is very friendly.Myself & others have done many posts on him that you will find in the archives if you want further info.He makes exact copies of outfits you take in,originals,copies pictures from magazines or drawings or choose from his catalogue.He will also come to your hotel room for fittings.His showroom looks upmarket & has comfy lounge chairs but don't be put off by this because his prices are reasonable.
The shop is also fully airconditioned with a small change room with a curtain around it.If you have a photo of what you are after he will be able to make up exactly what she wants.I presume your daughter has a specific colour & fabric in mind so I would suggest you go early in your holidays so that he can find exactly what you are looking for if he does not have the material already in stock.
Many forumites have been using him the past year or so since I discovered him.I can't remember exactly what I have paid for my after 5 wear but it would probably be irrelevant any way to your daughter's ball dress.An example of prices though is the full length bright blue dress in the window costs $40.
If you wish to contact him the shop is Merry's Collection -Jalan Padma Utara ,Ruko No 6,Legian His phone numbers are 0361-7453 145 & mobile 0817 -475 8159 .His email is ariskuwa@yahoo.com.au
You could even contact him before you leave for Bali.
To find the shop you head North from Melasti beach resort for about a 5 minute walk,you get to the bend in the road that turns left,where the fairy shop is,follow the road a few metres more & on the right side you will see the cushion shop & Merry's collection is right on the corner next to the cushion shop & opposite the Circle K store.It's very close to Bali Coconuts hotel.
If you do decided to go there give him our regards.
