How long does Sai Gon Tailor take?
Most orders are ready within 24 hours: dresses copied in several hours, a suit in 10 hours, and most other pieces the next day. Some took 2 days, and one 2-star reviewer says the real turnaround is two days rather than the one advertised. Several reviewers say their pieces fit first time; when they do not, there is usually one fitting and quick tweaks, though two unhappy reviewers needed several return visits.
One customer had silk trousers delivered to her hotel five hours after ordering, but a 1-star reviewer says staff promised to come to his hotel on departure morning and never arrived. No reviewer mentions shipping abroad.

What customers say about Sai Gon Tailor
My experience with the sisters was amazing! I was on my way to Elegant Silk given that’s what was popular on Google, but those ladies were too busy eating lunch to even welcome me into their store.

Before you order at Sai Gon Tailor
- Anh is the name that comes up most. Reviewers credit her with patiently showing fabrics and colours, taking measurements and making last-minute changes.
- Many orders here are finished within a day, some in under 10 hours, but one reviewer says their suit took two days rather than the one advertised, and another had to come back the day after the promised pickup.
- Two reviewers say the fabric in the finished garment was shinier or heavier than the one they chose. Keep a photo or a cutting of your fabric so you can compare at pickup.
- Copying a garment you bring works well here: a linen jacket, a much-loved skirt and several dresses were reproduced, and one customer's torn reference dress was mended free of charge.
