Tailor Made

I admit I'm feeling slightly disinterested in fashion right now. Some days are just like that, and the fact that I've been confined to the apartment in jammies for most of the week hasn't helped. (Even a heavily medicated trip to Topshop a few days ago didn't cheer me up, though I did finally pick up some cute black ballet flats. Yay!)

What has perked me up is Guise's post today on her much-sought-after boyfriend-style shirtdress (she picked up this image from style.com), and I have to agree that it's instantly covetable. Singapore may not have tons of indie boutiques or fabulous thrift stores, but it does have an abundance of tailors who can custom-make clothes at a reasonable price. I'm taking this picture down to my tailor (Mohan's at Far East Plaza) this weekend to see if he can't whip me up one of these dresses. Er, though perhaps a few inches longer, so I don't scandalize the neighbors.
