Frequently Asked Questions

For a standard bespoke suit, we recommend planning around 3–7 days in Shanghai. This allows time for the initial consultation and measurements, production in our workshop, and final delivery planning. Contact us with your dates and we'll advise on what's achievable.

Yes — in most cases this is exactly how we plan the timeline. If your departure date is tight, share it when you book and we'll build the schedule around your last available window.

Most orders can be planned within 3–7 days, with hotel fittings and worldwide shipping available if you leave Shanghai before the final garment is ready.

Yes, but the answer depends on how short the trip is and how complex the garment is. A 3–7 day stay can work for many orders. If your schedule is tight, we can advise on a reduced order, hotel fittings, or shipping after you leave Shanghai.

Yes, we offer hotel consultations and fittings for clients staying in Shanghai. This service works well for business travellers with tight schedules or groups booking multiple garments. To arrange a hotel visit, contact us with your hotel name, room details, and preferred dates. Additional charges may apply for hotel visits outside central Shanghai.

Bespoke tailoring involves creating a unique pattern from scratch based entirely on your body measurements and style preferences. Every element — from the canvas structure to the lapel roll — is constructed specifically for you. Made-to-measure adapts a standard block pattern to your measurements. Both are available at Wuyue; we'll advise which approach suits your timeline, budget, and quality expectations during the consultation.

Yes. We archive every client's full measurement record in our system. For repeat orders, you can contact us remotely — by email or WeChat — and we'll begin production from your archived measurements without requiring another visit to Shanghai. Many of our long-term clients order annually from their home countries.

If you collect in person, we can make minor adjustments on the spot or within a day or two. If you've already left Shanghai, we can discuss remote alterations — in some cases we can arrange for adjustments to be made by a trusted tailor in your city using our archived instructions, or we can factor adjustments into your next order when you return. For shipped orders, we always err on the side of slightly roomy fits to give your local tailor room to work.

Yes. English-speaking communication is a core part of the Wuyue experience. We explain cloth options, price differences, silhouettes, and timing in clear English so international visitors can make decisions confidently.

The cheapest quote often hides shortcuts in fabric, canvas, fitting time, or after-service. An established tailor gives you a clearer plan, more reliable workmanship, better communication, and a safer route for repeat orders or post-trip shipping.

Our pricing is transparent and explained at the consultation before any commitment. As a general guide, suits typically range from USD 200 to 500 (approximately CNY 1,500–3,600). The final price depends on: fabric choice (the main variable), construction complexity (bespoke vs. made-to-measure), lining and canvas quality, and any additional garments (shirts, trousers, waistcoats). Rush production may carry a surcharge. We'll give you a clear, itemised quote before we begin.

Located inside the South Bund Fabric Market, we have direct access to thousands of fabrics. Our cloth selection includes pure wools, wool-silk blends, wool-linen mixes, cotton, and fine shirting materials sourced from mills in Italy, the UK (Scabal, Dormeuil), China (Ruyi), and beyond. We'll guide you through the selection in plain English — explaining weight, weave, seasonal suitability, and care requirements — so you make an informed choice rather than a guess.

We accept Visa and Mastercard, cash (CNY and USD), and major Chinese digital payments (WeChat Pay, Alipay). For large orders, a deposit is typically taken at the consultation stage with the balance due on collection or before shipping. If you have specific payment preferences, please mention them when booking so we can confirm arrangements in advance.

Yes. Wuyue is inside South Bund Fabric Market in Huangpu District, just south of The Bund and close to Old Town and Yu Garden. That makes it easy to combine a fitting appointment with central Shanghai sightseeing or business meetings.

For most foreign visitors, South Bund Fabric Market is the strongest starting point because it combines fabric choice, tailoring shops, and easy access from central Shanghai. The real decision is which tailor inside the market offers the clearest process, strongest communication, and most realistic delivery plan.

Yes. It is one of Shanghai's most practical shopping destinations for visitors who want something more specific than souvenirs: custom suits, shirts, coats, qipao, and fabric selection in one building. It is especially useful for travellers staying near The Bund, Old Town, or central Huangpu.
