How much does a suit cost at Bigo The Tailor?
No reviewer gives an exact price for a piece at Bigo The Tailor. They consistently call the prices fair or reasonable, several say it is cheaper than other Hoi An tailors, and one put it at about half of what comparable quality costs in Bangalore, India.

How long does Bigo The Tailor take?
Bigo is fast. Most orders are ready within 24 hours, some in as little as four to six hours, and larger orders of up to 15 pieces take about three days. Expect one or two fittings; simple pieces are sometimes right on the first try.
Fittings and alterations are included, and staff redo work until it is right, in one case a full second round on three outfits. One order was delivered to the customer's hotel the same evening it was picked out. The reviews say nothing about shipping abroad, so ask if you need it.

Who Bigo The Tailor is best for
Bigo suits couples, friends, families and business travelers ordering suits, dresses, shirts, ao dai, kimono, silk or linen, and it can copy a photo or a garment you bring; one customer had a much-loved dress from home copied. Reviewers describe a patient team with no sales pressure. One who works in luxury fashion and calls herself very picky says they were not pushy at all, and another contrasts Ruby with sellers at other shops who felt money-hungry.
There are no complaints to weigh up here. The one gap is price, since no reviewer quotes a figure, so ask before you commit.

Before you order at Bigo The Tailor
- The owner's sister runs Dream Leather a few doors down, which makes belts, shoes and custom sandals; several customers ordered there too.
- If you are torn between linens, ask to see the fabric supplier: one customer was taken there to look at large swatches before choosing.
- White fabrics here are on the thin side and can show through at seams and pockets; one reviewer suggests a lighter lining for a white suit.
- Min and Mo, the two sisters, can be reached on WhatsApp between fittings, which one customer found useful during a week of fittings.
- Short on time, there is also a rack of ready-made silk kimonos and shirts to try on and buy the same day.
