Clothing alterations in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon)

For clothes bought elsewhere, the small repair shops are the quickest. Toan Tailor is mainly an alterations shop: refitted trousers were ready in under 24 hours and a broken button and zipper were fixed in about 10 minutes. At Nhà May Thịnh one reviewer paid 50,000 VND to alter a shirt, three dresses were re-hemmed within an hour and one customer had 34 items done in two days; the owner speaks only Vietnamese, so bring a translation app.

Suit makers take this work too. Namsilk Tailor altered 18 items for one customer in a single day, and at SARTOLAD Tailor a trouser seam repair cost 150,000 VND and took 10 minutes. At Năm Tailor a pair of jeans and a pair of trousers were altered within a day, and H&D Tailor repaired damaged shorts brought from home for free.

Agree the price before you leave anything, because the complaints here are about cost and results. At Nice Silk Tailor one reviewer was charged 1,000,000 VND for alterations on dresses, one of which was left untouched, and in one review a 600,000 VND quote became 1,500,000 VND. At Oriole Bespoke altering garments bought elsewhere cost one customer 800,000 VND per item, and 2 of 54 reviews describe alteration jobs done badly, including trousers shortened unevenly. At Nhà may Đức Tân Bố Già, 8 of 43 reviews describe wrong measurements and re-alterations that did not fix the problem. Try every piece on before you pay.
