Reliable tailor shop [Edit]

Hoi An is the multitude of tailor shops.  You might have a nice outfit just in several days or hours with a reasonable price. Lots of excellent tailors gather here. But be careful when you choose a reliable shop to order because of their traps in product’s quality.

Advices when you visit any tailor's shop in Hoi An:

•  Take your time – measuring cloths can be a lengthy process so don’t allot too little time.  If you want top quality it can take at least 3-4 days.  The more expensive ones take more time and in turn produce better quality.
•  Don’t tell them when you leave so that you can be in charge of controlling the process – not them.  You set deadlines, otherwise some of them might count on you being in a hurry at the end and forget or simply don’t have the time to make more changes or check the quality.
•  Negotiate the prices, ask around to know the going rate.  Asking the locals at your hotel might be a good idea. 
•  Ask for prices of cheaper materials, you might like them.
•  Better to sacrifice material quality than workmanship.  There is no fun in having a fancy silk dress that doesn’t hang together.
•  Be really precise in what you want both in the beginning and also during the later fitting sessions.  If you want to change something, even if it is different from what you had initially asked for, just ask them – there is no harm in asking.
