Tailors in Hoi An for groups and wedding parties

Large orders take longer than the usual turnaround. At Blue Eye Tailor on Nguyen Thai Hoc, group orders of five or more suits and dresses take two to three days with a couple of fitting rounds, and at Yaly Couture Exclusive orders of 10 to 16 pieces take three to five days. A bridal party order of eight suits plus a gown and coats was finished within 3 days at Bao Diep Tailor 2. Two Ladies Tailor has a team of 15 tailors, and according to reviews it handled a group of 14 travelers in a single day. Even so, the safest plan is for the whole group to be measured on the first day.

Reported prices for one suit at 17 of these shops run from US$85 at Be Li Tailor to US$275 at BeBe Tailor, with US$150 in the middle. Agree one price per piece for everyone before the measuring starts, so nobody in the group pays differently for the same thing. The Hoi An tailor prices guide shows what other garments cost.

Big orders need a tailor who checks each piece. At Mr. XE the owner inspects every garment himself and will not release it until he is satisfied, which is why large orders and wedding outfits can stretch over several days. If some of the group leave before the clothes are ready, ask about shipping: Bari Tailor sent one group's finished suits on to Saigon after they had left Hoi An, and 62 of the 112 ship internationally.
