How long does I Choose Tailor take?
I Choose Tailor is very fast: many pieces are done the same day or overnight, some in 3-4 hours, and 24 to 48 hours is typical. A group order of 30 items took about 5 days. Expect one or two fittings; several reviewers needed no changes at all. Free fixes are common, such as a jumpsuit corrected straight away, but one 1-star reviewer says a badly fitting order was never remade.
Deliveries come up often: to a restaurant the same day, to a hotel reception at night, and the owner once drove an order to a customer rushing for a bus. The shop ships abroad, with several reviewers receiving clothes in the UK, and keeps measurements on file for reorders.

- 2 of 84 reviews describe fit problems that were not corrected: a 1-star review (about $800 spent) describes unwearable suits with torn lining and no offer to remake, and a 4-star review describes trousers left too loose and too long with no time left for adjustment before departure.
Who I Choose Tailor is best for
I Choose Tailor suits couples, friend groups, families and solo travelers, and tall or hard-to-fit people, especially anyone with a complex or unusual design in mind. One reviewer describes it as a big shop with many choices for men and women, covering suits, dresses, jumpsuits, blazers, coats, kimonos and silk, linen or cashmere. One reviewer says Xiem is honest about what will and will not suit you, and several say she does not push sales.
Read the complaints above, and leave time for a second fitting before you leave Hoi An: the 4-star reviewer ran out of time to fix loose, overlong trousers.

Before you order at I Choose Tailor
- The workshop is upstairs above the showroom, and customers say you can watch your clothes being made.
- Xiem, the owner, handles design and fittings and her husband does the sewing; reviewers credit her eye for what suits their figure and colouring, so go to her if you are unsure what to order.
- Pieces on display can be ordered with changes. Reviewers had the ladies jacket from the display made with buttons instead of a zip, in a longer length or in other colours.
- Ask to be measured even on a rush order. One customer bought a set copied from a mannequin overnight, was told measuring was not needed, and the trousers came out loose at the waist and too long.
- If you leave Hoi An the day your clothes are ready, ask whether they can hold your bags; one group of customers left their luggage at the shop on their last day.
