Clothing alterations in Hoi An

If you want something you already own altered, pick a shop that takes outside work. Local Tailor on Trần Cao Vân alters clothes bought elsewhere, and trousers are what it is asked for most. Tailor No59, Mai's shop in the cloth market, repaired a torn skirt from another shop for free, and at Faifo Tailor Viet Nam a zipper repair and a skirt fix were done within 24 hours. Faifo also gave one customer a free warranty repair on a suit bought long before.

Small jobs are quick. Alterations after a fitting take 1 to 3 hours at Ms. An No. 90, a stall inside the cloth market where a wedding dress was also reworked overnight, and about an hour at Old Town Tailors. Co May Tailor altered a dress overnight, from 9 pm to 9 am, and Miss Forget Me Not, which also alters clothes bought elsewhere, handles simple alterations in under 24 hours.

On a new order, adjustments should be part of the price. At 45 Thu Tailor reviewers describe unlimited alteration rounds until they were happy, and at Hoi An Colors one customer had trousers adjusted three times and another had a dress completely redone after changing the design. Repairs are where details slip. A 1-star review of Co May Tailor reports a shirt patch done in mismatched fabric, Ken Tailor, which repairs clothes made elsewhere, has a complaint about a customer's own trousers ruined during an adjustment, and at Ms. An two reviews describe rushed service. Write down exactly what you want changed and check it before you pay.
