Spiffy Bear

So... one of Hoi An's claim to fame is that they have more tailors per square foot than anywhere else! There are at least 500 tailors in this town. You see them everywhere.

But all of those clothes are too big for a little bear.

But Mama says that people can walk into these stores and get a new suit made for cheap, cheap... or a dress or a shirt or...

Or maybe a little bear outfit!!!! Ooooh... wouldn't that be a great idea! I wonder if they can make outfits that small??

OK... so after a bit of pleading... I convinced Mama that I could really do with a couple of new short-sleeved shirts and some shorts.

This will be the fabric for the shirts...

And the green and beige just below it will be the shorts fabric!

Now it's just time to get measured...

That tickles!!!

The tailor lady thought that it was very cute making clothes for a little bear... but they had never done anything that small before... so this was going to be a new experience for all concerned!

I have a lot of measurements to write down.

P.S. Well... it was an adventure - I think the shirts look pretty good but... the shorts are a bit baggy on me (cause of my sandals being firmly attached to my feet). So Mama says we might have to get Gramma to modify things a titch... so I won't show the final product until we can get it tweaked a bit back home... Mama says it cost a "ridiculous" amount of money but... I like the idea of new outfits!
