What customers say about Hoàng Vân Silk
I had such a great experience here. I came in with inspiration photos of custom tailored pieces I wanted, and the team was incredibly helpful from the start.
Got a silk dress custom made in just a few days! We came on Tuesday morning and selected the fabric and I got my measurements taken.
They did a great job. They made 2 dresses for me from a photo. When I fitted it first I felt a bit disappointed, because it didn't fit well. But after their alterations magic happend, it fitted perfectly and looked amazing. Very happy with the results!
