I think most of the shops in singapore are getting into the ribbon thingy as well...Went to topshop and warehouse and they've got quite a few "ribbony" pieces...saw some skirts with satin ribbons in far east too!
hand sew! Heh all you need is silk ribbon from any craft store, and 2 stiches on both sides!
I copied an urban n co top (i think) by doing this>>
get a tank top that you're bored with (i used top shop black tank top)
insert scissors and snip in between the strap "loop" such that there is now a back and front strap.
sew 2 lengths of thick pink satin ribbon (with excess left over for the bow) to the tip of the front and back strap
Then tie together when you wear. Voila! You get a ribboned tank top, ribbons on both sides.
I did a toga-ish version as well using a giordano lycra black tee, snipping off the sleeves on one side only, and the other side using ribbon to hold up. Pretty easy (and gio's having 30% off now!)

try and take pics later
Wow! So innovative of U!
I have thought of sewing my own tops too but my sewing sux big time..
Anyway, can't wait to see pictures of your designs!!
Plenty of places, depending on your budget. Try www.thedressingloft.com although I hear the quality is not that great. You could also try brands like Malandrino or BCBG Max Azria.
I think FEP also has plenty of little shops that sell quite cute tops and dresses.
