All 32 tailors in Hanoi for dresses
Dresses from Hanoi's silk-and-linen shops, new or copied
Several of the dressmakers here are small silk-and-linen shops that work fast. At Tơ Tằm Việt Tailor most reviewers had dresses or tops back within 24 hours, and a satin silk dress cost about US$70. Madame Ha Handmade, a women's tailor above all, usually takes 24 hours to 2 days with one fitting, and one dress there cost about 1,450,000 VND. At Anh Village Silk a dress that ran long was taken up overnight at no charge.
Copies are a big part of the work. Reviewers bring photos of pieces they want made to Hoàng Vân Silk, and at MAY, a small workshop down an alley in the Old Quarter, they had favourite dresses and blouses copied. Photo copies do not always work out: two reviewers at Your Style say a design from a photo came out nothing like the reference, and one advises adjusting something from the shop's existing range instead. At Village Silk Tailor a replicated dress came out different on top.
Ask for the price before you agree. At HC Hien Cao one dress quoted at US$117.50 dropped to US$78 when the customer walked away, but 10 reviews there, 8 of them from the last nine months, report garments that did not fit or did not match the reference photo. Agree the price per piece before measuring and leave enough days for a proper fitting. For a wider look at what clothes cost here, see the Hanoi tailor prices guide.
