Where can I find tailor shops?

Post new topic

I bought my wife a couple of nice Abayas from Dubai, but need them tailored to fit my wife. I was wondering if there are good tailor shops that can fix Abayas, preferably on northern side of Jeddah. Thanks in advance for your help!

Well the central for all abaya tailor shops is Near Makrona road, there are some in Hijaz Market but I know mostly in Mujamma Sharq.

If you go to the malls there is a good chance they send to these tailors.

So if you are willing to pay arm and leg then mall is ideal for you.

As suggested, go to any abaya store in a mall, and perhaps they will agree.  Definitely bargain!

For a cheaper option, but still close to you, go to Souq Shati.  Again, go to any abaya shop there.
