Jimmy1877 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I'm a boy and my high school prom is coming soon, and I don't really want to wear the very common black suit with white shirts and a necktie style, I think that's pretty boring if you know what I mean, I want something different that would make me stand out from the others. However, it must be formal for a prom, it can't just be a t-shirt, it needs to look good. I live around Samut Prakan Srinakarin, does any of you guys know a shop nearby that sells stylish suits for prom? Or an online shop? Or even better, a designer that could design the style I want and fits my size? I can't seem to find one around here. Also, I'm on a limited budget... looking at a price around 3000 baht hopefully. Some examples...

TimJohnson Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Tailors are really good at copying things from pictures. Find a tailor with a heart to help a young man on a special day! 3000 baht is way too cheap. You are going to have to search low and high to find someone to make you a fashionable outfit for that much. Certainly not in Bangkok. Try the smaller towns of Thailand and just find someone who will do it for that. Show him the pictures of ones you like and make them copy it exactly for x amount. Make sure you are happy with the fabric ahead of time. Someone needs to do you a favor, but since its prom, it could happen.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glbv Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Most of the pictures you posted atleast the 2 alibaba ones, all hes wearing is black jeans (can tell their jeans by the fabics bunching on the back knee), casual shoes, a standard shirt that you can find in any department store here and a light blazer. Jeans can be bought here for nothing as well as the shoes and shirt in mbk or any other stores like that. No real reason to break the bank on any of that, the blazer if your on a budget go find a blazer style that you like somewhere cheap and buy it in 1-2 sized bigger. Then take this to a tailor and have it fitted will cost you probly 1500$ for the alterations but you will have a truely fited blazer that lookes great for about 1/4th the price of a truely tailored one. I could break down the first 2 as well but they are way out of a 3000b budget. Fit of clothing is 95% of how something looks on someone. Tight sleak and clean cut will always look better than to much fabric that makes it look like you dove into dads closet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZBill Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I still have my lime green tuxedo you could use from 1977! LOL Sorry I couldn't help it! There are many good tailors around town that will make you a nice suit for a reasonable price. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunron13 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Just walk down lower Sukumvhit. I'm sure you can get a good deal on one of the tuxes in the display window. They've been around so long that they're back in style again after 30 years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jibberjabberjibberjabber Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 There is a place on one of the sois in Siam square - i think around soi 11 area - that has some pretty cool designs that may work for you. They also have a shop in Terminal 21 - I am not too sure of pricing but it isnt crazy expensive from memory. They are 'asian' cut off the peg suits so you will need to be fairly slim for them to look any good on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
