something like ...

In Hong Kong, you used to be able to have a suit made specially for your measurements in 24 hours.
Though that is not possible now, it is still possible to have clothes made specially for you in a few days.

custom-made = made specially for the customer.

[Sara39]

in other words ,you may not be able 2 have your clothes made in 24hours as u did in the past but u can get it done in afew days. is it correct?

[Beeesneees]

Apart from your use of '2' and 'u' and your lack of capitalisation, yes.

Ok.Sorry for my unwanted mistakes!I will try not to repeat them.and thanks for help.

By the way Sara, commas, full stops, colons, semicolons, exclamation marks and question marks all have a space after them, and no space before. For example:

"In other words ,you may not be able... " WRONG
"In other words,you may not be able... " WRONG
"In other words, you may not be able... " CORRECT

Combined with correct use of capitals, this very simple correction will make your writing look much better for a tiny effort.

Ok. I will do my best to consider punctuation marks and capitalisation in my writing. Thanks again.
