In Reply to: Tailor- Bathers and Denim Shorts posted by Sandra_C on Friday, 30. March 2012 at 07:30 Bali Time:
it is very hard to find a tailor that can sew lycra or swimming costume materials, Climax have a store in Legian and they specialize in making of bathers but they can't access some items such as underwire, insert bra supports and their material is very limited, if you are of average size wanting average bathers then you could try them. You may be better of taking your own material and accessory bits. Alto Modo do sell some lycra but again finding a suitable tailor with stretch sewing machine capabilities is hard.
Denim isn't readily available either and again most tailors haven't the machine to sew denim, same with heavy duty leathers.
If your not too fussy and have the time try one tailor to do a copy of what you want and see how you go, if good post here for all to know.
Alternately Centro in the Discovery Mall do sell bathers, as do Marks and Spencers, Matahari and there are now a number of bather shops up and down Legian street from Kuta to Seminyak.
