One of the most important questions when looking to purchase new clothing is: how much is it going to cost? We’d like to break down the cost of a women’s custom suit in Bangkok for you, so that you can plan accordingly and make an informed decision when having a suit tailored.
Factors affecting the cost of a tailored suit in Bangkok
The three primary factors that determine the cost of a custom suit in Bangkok are the fabric you choose for your suit, the tailor you engage to make your suit; and, to a lesser extent, the style of your suit.
The fabric
When having your suit tailored in Bangkok, the fabric should have the largest impact on price. There is a great difference in the price of a blended fabric and a luxury English or Italian wool fabric. Just take a look at our Pricing page. The starting price for a luxury fabric is roughly double that of a blended fabric.
That’s not to say that a blended fabric is a poor choice, however.
The tailor
The tailor you choose to make your suit will also have a large impact on the price. Prices can vary significantly from tailor to tailor, and a tailor charging a higher price for a suit of the same fabric quality does not automatically make them a better tailor than a tailor charging you less.
Likewise, a tailor charging you less does not mean you are automatically getting better value for money. Consider looking at their specialties, their past work, how much experience they have, etc. so you truly know what you can expect in terms of craftsmanship quality.
The style
Lastly, the style of your suit can also affect its price. For example, if you opt for expensive buttons or wish to add a special detail that requires a lot of work.

Ordering Online or at a Trunk Show
With Women’s Tailor Bangkok, the cost of a tailored suit ordered online or at a trunk show will be the same as when you order a suit in Bangkok, plus courier costs to your mailing address. Note that, in some cases, we may only bring higher end blended fabrics, pure wool and pure linen fabrics, and luxury fabrics on our traveling tailor visits. Lower end blended fabric options may not be available. This is based on the interests of our trunk show clients.
For example:
– a custom skirt suit or pantsuit from an Italian wool fabric inclusive of shipping to the United States will start at roughly US $650.
– a custom skirt suit or pantsuit from a higher end blended fabric inclusive of shipping to Australia or Ireland will cost around AU $520 or €320.
Courier costs also cover import charges, so there are no additional charges to be paid by you beyond the cost of the suit. Pricing is completely transparent but is subject to exchange rate fluctuations (based on the rate of the Thai Baht) and changes to courier costs/import charges.
