Who Van’s Custom Tailor is best for
Van's suits couples, families, groups, wedding parties and solo travelers who want honest advice without sales pressure; several reviewers say other Hoi An shops pressured them and Van did not. Besides suits and shirts, she has made dresses from photos, trench and woollen coats, ao dai, children's outfits, scrubs and linen shorts, and she can copy a garment you bring.
If you want the widest fabric choice, a bigger showroom has more, and one reviewer suggests allowing extra time if you need more options.

Before you order at Van’s Custom Tailor
- The suits, dresses and shirts on the window mannequins can be ordered and adapted: customers have had the displayed suit made, a displayed dress cut to a looser 1920s fit, and silk versions of a Cuban-collar shirt from the window.
- Van says plainly what will not suit your body shape, and one customer was given colour suggestions based on hair and skin tone; ask her opinion before settling on a design.
- The low review count is because the shop is new: Van opened it after going out on her own, and one reviewer puts her experience at over 20 years.
- Van sources the fabrics herself, and one couple in a hurry wished the choice in the shop were wider; mention any particular fabric on your first visit.
- Alterations to clothes you already own are taken too; one visitor had two pieces fixed within 24 hours.
