How much does a suit cost at Tuong Tailor?
Reviewers paid US$160 for a skirt suit set, US$95 for a dress, and about €300 (about US$320, or 7,900,000 VND) for a suit plus two pairs of trousers. In a 1-star review, three trouser suits came to €700, about US$233 each, and none fitted properly.
About ten of the 90 most recent reviews call Tuong more expensive than other Hoi An tailors, and one 4-star review puts a comparable order about a third higher. A hotel referral can bring a discount of up to about 10%, according to one reviewer, but several found the price hard to negotiate. Compare with the Hoi An tailor prices guide.

How long does Tuong Tailor take?
Many single pieces at Tuong are ready in anything from 2-3 hours to 24 hours, and most multi-piece orders in 24 to 48 hours. Expect two or three fittings; complex pieces have needed four or five over three to four days.
Adjustments are free, though several low-rated reviews say fit problems were not fully solved after repeated rounds. Hotel delivery seems to be standard, though in one 1-star review a late delivery left no time to try the piece and get it fixed before leaving Hoi An. The shop ships abroad, to the US and UK among others, and keeps measurements on file for years for reorders.

What customers say about Tuong Tailor
We had a good experience here. We had the time to go back for lots of fittings which I think made a big difference.
Where to begin. I came in for one item, left with a new wardrobe! Sophie was AMAZING to work with. I was able to create some incredible new jackets, suits, shirts, and slacks for my entertainment outfits, oh and a leather jacket too!

Complaints to know before visiting Tuong Tailor
- Price: repeatedly described as noticeably higher than other Hoi An tailors across roughly ten of the 90 reviews read (a mix of 4- and 5-star), with a few reviewers reporting they found equal or better quality for less money elsewhere.
- Quality control on complex or multi-item orders: five reviews (1-3 stars, spanning roughly the 8 months before scraping) describe an open-back dress that still had uneven seams after 3 rounds of fixes; a multi-item order delivered with wrong colors and missing pockets due to a communication mix-up; shirt cuffs and colour bleeding discovered only after washing at home; and a sleeve alteration the customer says the tailor avoided discussing when she raised concerns.
Who Tuong Tailor is best for
Tuong suits couples, families, groups, weddings, plus-size customers and anyone building a work wardrobe, with a range that covers suits, shirts, dresses, coats, wool and cashmere. Ivy and Cookie are the names customers ask for most, Sophie also gets praise, and one reviewer says some tailors have worked there for more than 20 years.
For a complex design or a big order on a short stay, read the complaints above first. Most reviewers felt no pressure, but one 4-star review mentions aggressive upselling and another customer was talked into two extra shirts.

Before you order at Tuong Tailor
- Check every detail of a reference design at the first fitting: three reviewers got pieces that differed from what they asked for, including a missing open back, a simpler neckline, and missing pockets with swapped colours.
- Paying by card adds a 5% fee, according to one reviewer, which cancelled out the discount given for buying many items.
- Prices are only slightly negotiable; one reviewer says arriving on a hotel's recommendation can get you up to 10% off.
- Tuong keeps your measurements on file (one customer says for five years) and takes repeat orders online.
- The leather shop next door makes shoes and bags to order; one customer had Tabi flats made there, and another mentions a discount on its bags and shoes.
