How long does Namsilk Tailor take?
Namsilk works fast. A suit and shirt took two days, a full suit three days (made with the customer's own fabric), three outfits four days including a fitting, and three shirts were turned around in 24 hours for a reviewer with an early flight. Bigger orders, such as two suits with shirts or family ao dai sets, took about six days to a week.
Plan on one or two fittings; one family describes three visits from design to collection. Adjustments are often made on the spot at pickup. No reviewer describes clothes shipped abroad, and hotel delivery appears only once, in an old review.

What customers say about Namsilk Tailor
Lovely service, I had four tops tailored (two simpler fem tops and two like ao ba bas I think) and was very pleased with what I got. They were wonderfully polite and pleasant the entire time. Very happy with them.
Came here on the recommendation from trip advisor and we were not disappointed. Service was great right from the start. Mr Tu emailed before we even arrived in vietnam and was extremely efficient.

Before you order at Namsilk Tailor
- Mr Tu answers email before you arrive: two reviewers were in touch with him before landing, and one booked an appointment that way.
- The shop reviewers describe is in District 7; one customer says the service is the same as when it was in District 1.
- If you are short on time, say so: Yen once stayed past closing time to finish adjustments for a customer flying out early the next morning.
- They work from photos, from a cosplay suit to a denim jacket, and one customer had a thicker fabric suggested to match the pictures.
- If you order a second copy of a garment, check the fabric matches: one customer's repeat shirt came in a different material and no refund was offered.
