Before you order at Rainbow Tailor
- One customer writes that refits are free of charge as often as needed. When that customer was still unhappy with a piece after several refits, it was not charged and the shop remade it from scratch anyway.
- Fabrics are sorted into budget, medium and high tiers. One reviewer recommends the top tier and puts it at around 200-300$ a suit.
- Eric has firm views on what looks right. One couple ordering non-traditional suits found they had to insist on the alterations they wanted, so say clearly where you want to depart from his advice.
- Staying in Da Nang is workable. Eric drove to one family's Da Nang hotel after the first fitting to check the final clothes, and another couple had extra shirts delivered to their Da Nang hotel before their flight.
- Reviewers describe it as an LGBTQ-owned shop. A plus-size couple who had felt body-shamed at another tailor wrote that they felt welcome from the moment they walked in.
