Complaints to know before visiting Blue Lantern Tailor &Design
- 8 of 90 reviews are negative or mixed: five 1-star (G3 undated, G58 dated ~Jun 2026, T27 Nov 2018, T30 Mar 2018, plus a duplicate scam-style complaint) and two 2-star (T22 Nov 2019, T26 Jun 2019) and two 4-star (T24 Oct 2019, T28 Aug 2018). Most of the low-rated reviews cluster in 2018-2019 and describe a similar pattern: when a customer flagged a fit or quality problem, staff were described as resistant to properly fixing it (insisting the piece was fine, or doing a partial fix like tucking fabric or shortening straps instead of correcting the actual issue) rather than redoing the work. Separately, two more recent 1-star reviews (G3, G58) report stitching coming apart after very few wears and a dress that came out too short with no fix offered.

Many reviewers walked in on impulse and felt no pressure to buy more. Read the complaints above before ordering: check stitching and fit carefully at the fitting, and ask for any fix to be done properly before you pay.

Before you order at Blue Lantern Tailor &Design
- Denim is stocked in several colours, which reviewers say few shops here have. One customer had brown and green jeans made, and a denim two-piece set was finished in under four hours.
- Moon takes design changes over WhatsApp; two customers adjusted their orders that way.
- Check there is enough of your chosen fabric for the whole outfit: one customer was told after two fittings that the material had run out.
- Confirm the pick-up time before going back. Several reviewers found pieces not ready at the time they had been given and had to return later.
- They copy clothes you already own. Two reviewers had a shirt they owned reproduced, and another ordered around 14 items, most of them copies of favourite clothes.
