If you are into sewing your own dresses and garments, you can find all you require in Singapore. Be it for your family or even stocking up a tailor shop.

The Textile Centre at Jalan Sultan, off Beach Road should be your first place to visit. There are 10 floors of shops, all engaged in the textile trade. Almost all are in the export/import business. Having their showrooms here, walk in customers are also welcomed.

The other area with a concentration of textile shops is at Arab Street. If you are looking for Indian saris, then Little India at Serangoon Road will definitely satisfy you search.
