How long does VN Silk Tailor take?
Speed comes up in many reviews. One custom dress was made in 6 hours by four tailors working together, and a dress ordered at 1pm was ready before the customer's 6pm bus. Most tops, jackets and dresses were ready the next day, while one family's order of 43 pieces took a week and a half.
Expect a first fitting within 24 hours and a quick second one. Reviewers say corrections were made straight away, sometimes several times, with no mention of extra charges. One customer had the whole order, from tuxedos to skirts, delivered to their hotel by Nhung.

Before you order at VN Silk Tailor
- Nhung Le is the one reviewers credit with advice on which fabric and cut will work, including an honest view of what is not feasible; ask for her if you are unsure.
- A same-day dress is possible: one customer ordered around 1 p.m. and had it finished before a 6 p.m. bus.
- The shop sits a little away from the other old town tailors, and reviewers describe it as clean and spacious with fitting rooms.
- You can bring a garment from home to be copied; on one copied piece the shop tracked down a missing component before the final version.
