Cost Of Dressmaking

4. What is the cost of customising a piece of clothing?

There is no set price for dressmaking. It depends on the design/pattern and also the fabric. Some fabrics are more difficult to work with than others and that will cost you more.

Come down with a picture of your desire dress and we can discuss further. No worries. There will be no obligations.

Wholesale Products

3. Do you do wholesale for your clothing?

I would love to do business with you! HOWEVER, Alice.K is a very small business set up by myself only. I have no large commercial company in the background so do not, at present have the financial resources to look for workers.

Quality Or Quantity?

2. Why are your clothing so expensive?

We do not do mass production. Our goods are specially designed and handmade by Aunty Alice. Each pieces are lovingly matched and conceived with her two little hands to preserve it uniqueness & quality.

At Alice.K, we offer good quality products with a sensible price tag. Good quality means that the item will last and give good service and the sensible price tag reflects the quality.

The use of poor quality materials means that the end product will also be of poor quality, which means that it will wear out quickly and probably won’t survive the washing cycle well (shrinking, changing shape or fading). Also, finishing is poor - seams come undone, buttons fall off etc.

Our message is, rather than buy three cheap tops for the price of one because when they are worn out it won’t hurt our pockets to just throw them away, why not buy one which will last and give good service? Surely that’s good value.

We try to keep prices affordable as much as possible while being able to maintain all our costs.

Shopping With Us

1. I feel awkard and embarrass when I try on so many clothes but did not make any purchase.

Think of all the things that must be considered while buying a single piece of clothing. Does the cut flatter me? Is it available in my size? Is this a good color? Is it natural or synthetic? Does this pattern make me look fat? Is it suitable for work? For fun? Will hubby like it? Is it too bold? Too safe? Too..something?

It's almost impossible to tell if it will fit right while it hangs on the hanger. Some will fit like a dream, and others, like a nightmare!

DO NOT hesitate to try on something you like on our shelves. Don't feel shy or embarassed without purchase. We offer a relaxed, no pressure atmosphere for finding that perfect look, and of course we hope that you will find things you "need" and won't be able to find elsewhere. And you might. You also might find out that some style that you never thought of will be right for you. Most importantly, this is when you know what suits you, and what style feels comfortable.

C'mon in and try things on without the pressure of making a purchase weighing you down NOW!!
