What customers say about Old Town Tailors
Really don't want to write a bad review.but, the dress ordered for my partner was a special birthday gift and, not cheap (2 months rent where's from). She provided clear photos of the dress she wanted.
I had a great experience here - staff were very friendly and also flexible in accommodating my requests. I got a three piece suit, it was gorgeously made, and seemed a very fair and standard price compared to other tailors (I also got a discount as was staying in the attached hostel).

Before you order at Old Town Tailors
- The shop sits inside Fuse hostel in the Old Town, and guests staying at Fuse are given a discount.
- They keep your measurements on file so you can reorder from home, and they arrange shipping; one customer had a courier called to the shop to send purchases home from the lobby.
- On white or light fabric, ask them to clean off the chalk marks before you collect: one customer was told yellow marks on a white lace dress were tailor's chalk, and they never washed out.
- If you bring a photo, check that details like the sleeves match at the fitting: one dress ordered with long sleeves came back with short ones, and the shop said the tailor thought short sleeves would suit better.
- Two complaints are about finishing: a skirt with a hole in the seam and a pyjama set whose buttons fell off, so look over seams and buttons when you collect.
