How much does a suit cost at Shine Tailor?
A three-piece suit at Shine costs about £180, made within 24 hours. One large order of 13 pieces, five suits, two pairs of trousers, four shirts and two dresses, came to £1,100, about £85 a piece.
Reviewers repeatedly call the pricing transparent and fair, with no need to bargain. Payment is cash only, which a few find inconvenient on big orders. One one-star TripAdvisor reviewer later found another Hoi An tailor charging US$120 for a three-piece suit and US$60 for a silk dress, with work they judged more precise.

How long does Shine Tailor take?
Shine is very fast. Many orders are ready the same day or within 24 hours, some pieces in seven hours, and more elaborate multi-piece orders take two to three days. One customer's dress, from design discussion to two or three fittings, was finished in a day.
Expect two or three fittings, or one for simple pieces, with free adjustments, even the day after a customer had taken a piece home. No review mentions hotel delivery. The shop ships abroad, to Germany and the UK, and one customer reordered a suit by WhatsApp months later using the measurements on file.

Before you order at Shine Tailor
- Bring cash: one customer found the shop takes cash only, which was awkward for a large order. The same customer arrived at 9pm and could still be measured that night.
- Ask for Ty if you are unsure about colour or style; one reviewer recommends asking for her at the start, and another credits her with finding the right colour.
- At one customer's last try-on, a staff member took the dress down to the tailors' workshop so it could be fixed there and then; worth asking for if a final tweak is all that stands between you and leaving.
- If you bring several designs, they will tell you which ones work in your time: one wedding guest was told the first idea was not possible in 3 days and the second would be about 80% accurate, and picked the third.
- They keep measurements on file: one customer ordered another suit four months later from home and had it shipped to Germany.
