Getting Indian wear stitched in Vancouver usually means a trip out to Surrey or ordering from relatives back home and hoping the fit is close. Both work eventually and both cost you time. Silai gives you a third option. Scan yourself with your phone camera, about two minutes in your own room, and your measurements are saved permanently. From there you can order from any tailor on the platform, wherever they are, and the numbers go with the order so nobody is guessing from a size chart. It also makes second-hand shopping realistic: Pre-Loved listings carry the measurements the garment was stitched for, so a saree blouse or lehenga can be checked against your own body before you message the seller, instead of after it arrives. Silai takes no commission and never touches the payment, so you deal with the tailor or seller directly. Tailors in and around Vancouver can list their shop free and be found by people searching for custom stitching in the city.
Silai is young here. The Pre-Loved rack below is already active in Vancouver, 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.
