Family-friendly tailors in Hoi An

If the children need clothes too, ask about that first. BeBe Tailor lists children's clothes alongside suits, dresses and ao dai, Yaly Couture Exclusive makes kids' clothes as part of a wide range, and Se Se Tailor, a small family-run shop run by two sisters, Se Se and Anna, makes children's clothes too and works in 4 to 6 hours.

Bigger orders need more time. At Ba Ri Tailor trousers have been made in a few hours, while large family orders can take 2.5 to 3 days. If you are in town for only a couple of days, bring everyone in on the first one.

For a sense of cost, a family order of two suits, two pairs of trousers, a shirt and two ties came to roughly €450 at Pink Lotus Tailor. Reported prices for one suit at 24 of these shops run from US$60 to US$380, with US$200 in the middle. With several people ordering, write down the agreed price for each piece. At Blue Eye Tailor one 3-star review describes an in-person price higher than the one quoted by message, which the owner later settled with a refund. The same shop is praised for advice without pushing extra purchases, and one family of first-timers who walked in on a whim enjoyed the whole process.
