How long does Golden Silk Tailor Hoi An take?
Most orders are ready in 24 to 48 hours, some pieces the same day, and small adjustments can take just a couple of hours. Larger orders take several days with repeat fittings; a 28-piece family order involved daily fittings for a week.
Expect one or two fittings, up to three for suits and structured dresses. When a chosen fabric turned out to be see-through, the shop remade the dress at no extra charge. Finished pieces are delivered to hotels, once 30 minutes after a final fitting, and the shop ships abroad for travelers without luggage space.

What customers say about Golden Silk Tailor Hoi An
Absolutely love the dresses here! The patterns and cuts are uniquely beautiful. I requested for some small changes from the original designs, they did an amazing job to suit my needs and body shape.
I wasn’t planning to get anything tailored in Hoi An, but I came across this shop and fell in love with one of the dresses on display. I decided to have it made, and I’m very happy with how it turned out.

Complaints to know before visiting Golden Silk Tailor Hoi An
- One 4-star review reports pilling on a garment after just 3 wears (partial refund given) and a hole found in a hem after returning home; a separate 1-star review of a 28-piece, $1,270 order describes similarly sub-par materials and finish, which the reviewer attributed to a previously skilled tailor no longer working at the shop.
- One 1-star review calls the price not worth the quality received, without further detail.
Who Golden Silk Tailor Hoi An is best for
Golden Silk suits couples, friends and families who want silk pyjamas, robes and dresses with a personal touch; Lucky, Happy, Tracey, Ly and Vy are the names that come up, Lucky most of all. Customers who dislike hard selling elsewhere in Hoi An describe it as refreshingly laid back. A sister shop next door makes activewear.
The complaints above concern fabric durability, such as pilling after three wears and a hole in a hem, and one large order that disappointed after a skilled tailor reportedly left.

Before you order at Golden Silk Tailor Hoi An
- The small shop next door is run by the same family and sells ready-made activewear, yoga clothes and kimonos in the same fabrics as the dresses out front.
- If the fabric you want is not on the shelves, ask. One customer was taken to the shop's stock on a scooter, and another was taken by Ly to a textile market.
- One customer found that a jumpsuit the shop had to draft a new pattern for cost a little more than the styles in its suggestion book, so ask for both prices if you are choosing between the two.
- One customer saw pilling on a skort in 100% natural fabric after wearing it three days in a row, and found a hole in the hem of a second one at home; the shop gave a partial refund for the first. Ask how a fabric holds up with daily wear before choosing it.
- You can order a dress you see on display, with changes: two customers did, and one of them singles out the shop for pleated designs.
