How long does Eli Clothshop take?
Many orders at Eli Clothshop are ready the next day, and larger ones, wedding parties included, are usually done within two days. The number of fittings depends on the order: several reviewers needed no second fitting, while larger or more complex orders can take several, and one reviewer was fitted four times. Alterations are free.
The owner once dropped a customer's bags at her hotel herself. Eli also ships abroad: one customer's clothes reached the UK safely, and the shop keeps measurements on file for later orders sent from home.

What customers say about Eli Clothshop
It's okay nothing special about this tailoring. Very kind staff although. They did do the designs of the dresses that we were looking for with really fast turnaround and the price was okay.
Highly recommend. I had 3 tops made here and found the assistant to have great knowledge and understanding. I have a menopause body and I am conscious of what I want to hide and this tailor delivered first class, first time.

Complaints to know before visiting Eli Clothshop
- One 3-star review ('a month ago') describes swimwear left with open, unfinished seams, and reluctance to make some requested alterations despite the custom-made premise - an outlier among an otherwise near-uniform four-and-five-star record.
Who Eli Clothshop is best for
Eli Clothshop suits couples, groups and wedding parties who want a relaxed shop and a tailor who keeps adjusting until the fit is right. It makes dresses, suits, shirts, swimwear, ao dai, wedding dresses, coats and pieces in silk and linen, and one reviewer had a traditional ao dai made alongside a dress.
Read the complaint above if you plan to order swimwear, and check every seam at the fitting. That review also describes some reluctance to make requested alterations.

Before you order at Eli Clothshop

- One customer says the owner keeps measurements and special requests on file and will make and ship new pieces abroad from them.
- On a large order, one customer paid a 50% deposit and the balance once every piece was settled.
- The clothes are sewn in-house at 665 Hai Ba Trung, away from the busier tailor streets; reviewers describe the shop as calm.
- Swimwear gets mixed reports: one customer's two swimsuits came back with seams left open, while two others were happy with theirs.
