Shanghai South Bund Fabric Market in Chinese is 上海南外滩轻纺面料市场. Here you can make your couture dreams come true. Great values are qipaos, cashmere coats and men's shirts. Almost every stall has its own tailor who can whip up whatever you want in about a week. Your best bet is to have something you like copied over in your new fabric. Clothing made from photos or descriptions yield mixed (mostly bad) results. If you can, bring a Chinese speaker with you. Some tailors do speak English

Less hectic than either Qipu Lu or the Science and Technology Museum markets, the South Bund Fabric Market is situated in the old city within walking distance (30 mins) of Yu Garden.

You’ll find souvenirs, especially Tibetan jewelry, and a few other market products besides, but the main attractions are the myriad of fabrics for sale and tailoring services.

Simply take some time to browse all the materials on offer and then, if you can, describe the way you’d like your clothes made. It helps to have an example of something that fits you well on hand, and a good Chinese language ability, but most stalls have fashion guides and textile palletes to make things easier.

Although there is always room for some bargaining, many stalls will offer you good prices right from the outset, and many will deliver to your address.

Once you’re done, keep exploring the old city by wandering north down the well-trafficked lanes to see plenty of other market areas serving as centers of economic, and often, social life, as they did 75 years ago and more.

By walking North and then East, you can also get to the Cool Docks in about 20 minutes.

Address 399 Lujiabang Road (near the Bund)(南外滩轻纺面料市场, 陆家浜路399号(近南仓街))

Opening hours Daily usually 10 am - 7 pm
