Q: Question about tailoring
I came to China hoping to find a land where, for once, I could find clothes my size. (I'm the size of an average Chinese man.) However, I ended up in Shandong, home of the famous and rightly named Shandong Giants. There are no pants here that fit me; all of them are too long. Once or twice in a busy shopping mall, I've asked in very, very broken Mandarin if they have anything shorter. They do not, they reply, and seem to recommend that I go somewhere to get the pants tailored. I don't know how to get to that place, though, and I don't know what it would look like. I imagine it's somewhere in the mall, but I'm not sure. I guess I'm asking where the tailoring shop in the mall is usually located.
Some of the larger supermarkets that also sell clothes will have a tailor. I know I've seen signs at my local RT-Mart (大润发) saying something to the effect of free tailoring for clothes purchased there. Otherwise, you're at the whim of Chinese trying to give you directions to some place they may or may not actually know how to get to.
Most tailors would be in small shops near apartments gardens and such. Often they will be a laundry service that does minor tailoring. More than good enough for what you need.
Just go into a laundry shop and ask, as actual suit making tailors are much harder to come by.
Also cooter is correct, at a big supermarket usually near check out they can sometimes help.
This is just one of those things where you need to walk through all the streets of your community and find all these little shops that will provide small services you need.
