Say now the suit is torn or ripped.The tailor is now asking a person that knows how to sow
"will the suit be fixed and ready to be sold tommorow evening?"
(ime just saying fixed so you understand because the suit has to be fixed or decorated to be ready to give back to the tailor)
Meaning that she/he is asking if the dress will be ready to be sold somewhere at 5pm to 10pm - those are the evening times
FumbleFingers is correct but I will answer in another way and post a link for you.
