How long does Red Apple Tailor take?
Red Apple is usually very fast. Single pieces can be ready in 2 to 4 hours, one reviewer had a suit finished in under 6 hours, and most orders are done the same day or the next. Some multi-item orders take up to 3 days. One customer ordered three dresses, a set and a top at 2 pm and had them ready for fitting at 3 pm the next day.

What customers say about Red Apple Tailor
An unsolicited review which is rare in this country but this is the place to get work pants made! The fabric is great quality, I would say better than some of the stores in the textile market.
Quoted from recent Google reviews, as written — critical ones included.
Complaints to know before visiting Red Apple Tailor
- 4 of 40 reviews are 1-star (Apr 2026, Apr 2025, Jun 2024 x2), a notable share against an otherwise overwhelmingly 5-star record. Three describe hostile behavior when something went wrong: one reviewer says the owner was 'very sweet at the point of order but turned nasty at the point of pick up' after being overcharged and given different material than selected; another says the tailor 'yelled when confronted' over wrong materials and bad stitching and threatened to call police over a refund dispute; a third describes being pressured to buy, then followed and blocked in the street by the owner and her sister after declining. A fourth describes a simple pajama order left unfinished after four attempts and a scheduled fix that never showed up.

Before you order at Red Apple Tailor
- If you are short of time, this shop has made trousers in two to three hours for several reviewers, and one customer who arrived at noon had a top and skirt finished, with a second fitting, by the afternoon.
- Three of the complaints here involve silk: one customer had two silk outfits spoiled, another was still waiting on silk pyjamas after four visits, and a third found the silk sewing weaker while saying the linen was fine.
- Payment is taken when you order: one reviewer was asked for a $50 deposit on silk pyjamas, and another was refused a cancellation five minutes after paying.
- The shop will sew fabric bought elsewhere: Nhi's son drove one customer round the leather markets for a jacket, and others picked their own fabric at the market or from another supplier.
- If you arrive without references, ask for the book of photos one couple was given to choose designs from.
