NSilk Tailor Made: "Tailor Made Clothes - Hanoi" Vietnam Shopping Tip by cafank

A nondescript small shop in the old city and this is where I ended up having quite a few clothes made to measure. The quality was great and everything (shirts, pants, one dress) fitted well and have lasted well.

What to buy: Silk is a specialty but be careful and make sure you know the difference between silk and polyester - the "Vietnamese silk"!

I also had a few linen items made. The staff were great - all women and very helpful with designs, though they didn't have a great choice.

This shop is not like the big places in Hoi An - not as elaborate and not the variety but I was happy. They also have ready made clothes, pyjamas's, dresses etc. I was also able to get real silk sleeping sheets here - at about $10.00 each - they too have lasted very well through many trips....

What to pay: Pay what you think is right - shop around first to get an idea of prices...and then bargain
