Complaints to know before visiting Elegant Silk
- 2 reviews (2 stars and 1 star) allege being sold fabric other than what was paid for — one says a '100% silk' order turned out to be a silk-cotton blend that didn't feel breathable, the other accuses the shop of substituting cheaper material after payment for premium fabric and warns other visitors to be cautious.
- 1 review (1 star, about 4 months ago) describes a tailored silk suit that came out boxy despite requesting corrections at both fittings, along with finishing issues — a mismatched zipper color, visible stitching under the collar, and seams coming apart though unworn — with no clear resolution offered beyond a small discount after full payment was made upfront.
Who Elegant Silk is best for
Elegant Silk suits couples, families, groups and solo travelers who are short on time and want silk pieces, ao dai, dresses, pajamas or a garment copied from a photo. It also makes unisex and gender-inclusive clothing. Reviewers say they were left to browse without pressure.
Read the complaints above before ordering silk: two reviewers say the fabric was not what they paid for, and one silk suit stayed boxy after two fittings. Ask to see and feel the exact fabric, and check the finished piece before final payment.

Before you order at Elegant Silk
- You can bring your own fabric or trimmings: one customer had a favourite dress remade in fabrics they brought, another had vintage buttons from Paris worked into a design, and a third was told straight away that the silk they had bought was fake.
- Ask exactly what your fabric is made of before you order: one customer who ordered three sets only learned at the fitting that the material was sold as half silk, half cotton.
- Cards are accepted, American Express included, and a customer of four years says alterations are free on clothes made here.
- If the last fitting runs close to your flight, ask about collection: one customer's three-piece suit was picked up from the hotel, adjusted overnight and delivered at 7 am.
- They keep your measurements on file for orders from home, and one customer has ordered online from Australia as well as in the shop.
