How much does a suit cost at Dung Tailor?

How long does Dung Tailor take?
Dung is slow by Vietnamese standards. A suit usually takes 10 to 14 days, with the mock-up fitting a few days to a week after measuring, and one reviewer was quoted a month. Four reviewers mention the long wait, though regulars say the quality makes up for it.
Expect at least two visits after measuring: a fitting of a mock-up jacket, then collection. Finished garments can be shipped anywhere, and one customer travels in from Cambodia to order.

Who Dung Tailor is best for
Dung Tailor suits expats, diplomats and business travelers who wear suits every day and can wait two weeks or ship the order home. The cut is a slimmer European one, somewhat conservative; one customer's business shirts lasted ten years.
Read the complaints above. Three reviews describe the English-speaking lady at the front as rude or cold while praising the tailoring, and two report a bad fit that was not corrected. It is not a choice for a short stay.

Before you order at Dung Tailor
- This is not a quick-turnaround tailor: a long-time customer says suits typically take 10 to 14 days, with a fitting on a mock-up jacket in between, and three other reviews mention long waits.
- The house cut is slim and European rather than loose; ask if you want a roomier fit.
- For help in English, ask for Minh, Dung's son: one long-time customer says he studied in the US and helps foreign visitors choose and design their order.
- There is a fabric shop next door with a wide selection if the cloth in the shop does not suit you.
- Two reviewers found the woman running the front desk cold or rude, while still praising the tailoring.
