I found this location by accident. Frankly, I had shoes custom made in the store a few doors down. I was walking on the sidewalk and saw the sign and walked in. I explained what I was looking for which was custom fit shirts. I only ordered 12 shirts the first time. They shipped back to Hawaii for me. I was pleasantly surprised and happy with the product. I did try a full 100% Japanese cotton short which is impossible to iron. We went back to using a combination of silk cloth. So accommodating with my requests. I never felt like money was the issue. Making sure what I wanted, confirming again before a production run. She also has made about 6 tines for me and they were exactly as requested. Of all my hundreds of ties, I wear none have the comments that her ties and shirt have. I have had fewer results from Europen shirts makers.

I went to this store on my last day in Ho Chi Minh thinking that they sell silk clothes. To my surprise it was a tailor shop and the lady offered to make something for me. When I told her that I am leaving at night, she said the item will be ready by 6 pm. Not having anything in mind I ordered a home shirtdress for my elderly mother. Although it’s a very simple dress the quality is fantastic, I don’t remember when last time I saw that well made item! The only regret I have that I didn’t go there on my first day and didn’t order more clothes. By the way, they also delivered it to my hotel since I couldn’t pick it up. Two ladies in the store speak English and they take credit cards. Highly recommend this place!

Wonderful selection of silk and linen to choose from. The many dresses I have had made here are made with great expertise. Especially like the friendly ladies. My husband was very happy with his dark blue linen suite lined with gold Vietnamese silk.

The initial good impression turned sour when the shop lady tried to milk my money using various reasons like extra materials etc. I know fully she's being shady but I can't expect more from a shop like this, so I kept quiet as long as the clothes are alright.

The real nightmare came when I went home and put on the wash, the color ran so badly I had to dump my entire basket of clothes including other shirts. I took a picture and sent it to them but they ignored it completely. Such ruthless scammers.

I urge you to not visit this unscrupulous business, I have already reported this to various websites and relevant authority. It's just daylight robbery and nothing more.

I'm so surprised by the negative reviews on here. I had a really good experience at this shop. I came in on my last morning at HCM to have a dress suit made. I choose this tailor as all the fabrics on display looked workwear material. I had to rush to choose things as I was leaving that night and knew someone would have to start sewing right away. I didn't have time for a fitting as I was doing the motorbike tour. I paid $170 for dress and jacket and I am delighted with it. The cost is probably a bit OTT for Vietnam but I would rather pay more and have something done properly. The suit was finished in 10 hours. Fits perfectly. Feels great. There was a small smudge on the jacket which is why 4 stars instead of 5. Not sure what it is. But overall I am v impressed. I didn't feel like I was getting any hard sell or dodgy dealings. I was told upfront how much each material would cost and wasn't charged extra for the polyester satin lining.

I had 2 articles of clothing made by this tailor and another 2 made by another tailor, just a few units away. I did this to diversify my risk somewhat. My little experiment tells me NOT to come back to this tailor.

This shop wins in terms of its wide selection of fabric. Initial service was good. But ultimately, the most important thing I look for in a tailor is workmanship, such as the cut and the stitching. This tailor falls short on both account. The other tailor wins hands down and will get my business the next time.

I also did not get the impression that they were proud of the quality of their work. I left feeling like all they cared for was the money and once the sale was made (50% deposit paid), they did *just enough* to make sure they could complete the sale and collect the rest of the money and that was it.

You might think I was a fool to expect anything more, but I got the real deal from the other tailor. The other tailor made sure I was a satisfied customer before allowing me to walk out of their door. It is more than the money, it is a question of pride.

I was really apprehensive about ordering tailor made clothes after reading so many bad reviews, but I ordered a suit and two shirts to see for myself. I only had 24hrs to go and they made them all on time and they’re great. The prices are pretty average for the area - I went to about 8 tailors before deciding on this one and they’re all quite similar pricing. They kept my measurements and I have just emailed to order more pants and shirts, after trying on lots of pants at the shops tonight there’s nothing quite like the ones that are made to fit me☺️ and the shirts are beautiful made from the silk - so nice!
The only not-so-good thing I could say about the place is they don’t have any styles to show you other than a few items of clothing on the shelves, so if you want something different make sure you have a picture you can show them.

If you go there in the morning, you will have a fantastic tailor made dress during a day!!

I requested a lot of things, and all of them reflected into my dress.

Staffs are very friendly. Price is good.
So satisfied with everything.

It costs only $55. It was made of silk.

We went here to get some tops made. They were nice in the shop but the fabric was scratchy and didn't feel at all like real silk. We didn't buy anything.

Absolutely terrible. It's poorly made and they have a limited range of poor quality fabrics from which to choose. Don't bother
