Hamilton sits close enough to Toronto and Mississauga that a lot of stitching work gets driven out of the city, and far enough that the drive is a real afternoon. For a garment that needs two fittings, that is two afternoons. Silai removes the measuring trip entirely. Scan yourself with your phone camera at home, about two minutes, and your measurements are stored and reused for every order afterwards. Any tailor on the platform can cut to them without meeting you first, whether they are in Hamilton or not. The Pre-Loved rack runs on the same numbers, listing each piece with the measurements it was stitched for so you can judge fit before starting a conversation with the seller. Nothing is charged by Silai and no commission is taken; you pay the tailor or seller directly. If you stitch in Hamilton, listing your shop is free and reaches people who are already searching for this work nearby.
Silai is young here. The Pre-Loved rack below is already active in Hamilton, and any tailor on Silai can stitch for you remotely: your phone camera takes your naap, the tailor receives exact numbers, and the finished piece is couriered or picked up as you both agree.
1. Scan yourself once with your phone camera (about a minute, photos deleted after processing). 2. Browse the marketplace or the Pre-Loved rack. 3. Message the tailor or seller directly and agree price, fabric, timeline, and courier or local pickup. More in the FAQ.
Joining is free, takes about 5 minutes, and every order arrives with the customer's full naap attached. You keep 100% of every order.
