India is huge. Which city are you visiting and what do you want to get tailored? Do you need material and pattern too?

I think you are asking for too much. Let us know if ordering online works out.

There are oodles and oodles of types of materials available in India.
Also what about personal measurement and size.
Just so you know, India is an ideal place for custom tailoring.
Seems like what you are looking for are ready made garments.

Have you ever had any clothing custom-made? I ask because once you have, you see how many measurements are needed and how many questions a good tailor asks in order to make you the clothing you want. There is no way to do that online.

Once you have had garments made by a tailor, you can re-order by phone or email as long as you want exactly the same things and you know (from your previous visit) the fabric you want.

Trying yo order custom-made clothing "cold" like this is a guarantee of disaster.

Exactly my thoughts too, Kathie.

Custom tailoring online is a recipe for disaster.
Not sure, if any reputable custom tailor will even accept an order online.
