The fabric market is five floors of cloth merchants trying to get you to buy from them. They are all competing against one another for your business, so you are constantly hounded to look at their fabric. Once you decide on something, they measure you and make it in about a week. We've had some really good luck here, but I've also had some pants made that were a bit snug - the Chinese aren't into the baggy look very much. I'll keep them for a 70's party or something.
