Toronto's South Asian tailoring is scattered across the whole GTA, from Gerrard Street to the plazas out past Scarborough, which is wonderful for choice and painful for logistics. The tailor with the right hand for bridal work is frequently nowhere near your office, and a fitting means a subway ride and an afternoon gone. Silai removes the trip from the measuring. Scan yourself with your phone camera, about two minutes at home, and your measurements are saved once and reused for every order after that. A tailor across the city can cut to your numbers without ever meeting you, and if something needs adjusting you are comparing real measurements rather than guessing from a size label. The Pre-Loved rack works the same way: pieces are listed with the measurements they were stitched for, so you see how a lehenga or blouse compares with your own body before you start a conversation. Silai takes no commission and handles no payments, so whatever you agree with the tailor or the seller is between the two of you.
Every order starts with your measurements: scan yourself with your phone camera, message the shop directly, and agree price and delivery between yourselves. Silai takes no commission.
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.
