Tailors in Vientiane

My husbond and I will be visiting Vientiane in a week, and we would like to know if anyone has got any good (or bad) experiences with tailors in Vientiane. Should we buy the fabric ourselves at fx Talat Sao, or is it better to buy at the tailor%26#39;s shop. Also, up to date info about nice guest house ranging fram 15-20 $ would be higly appreciated.

Thanks

Depends what you want made. If you want a silk blouse, for example, I would buy the material at Talat Sao and take it to a tailor. If you want a suit or trousers the tailor will be able to oblige.

There are some very good tailors in the small soi leading to Nam Phou fountain. I have had some very fine work mad there.

Thanks for the post, we probably won%26#39;t ge getting any suits, but more like shirts and maybe a dress, so I think we will opt for fabrics at the morning market, and head to the Nam Phou area to find a nice tailor.
