Tailoring Ao dai in Hue, go to Hoi An for shoes making
Perhaps, you will not be able to find somewhere else in the world like Hue and Hoi An where a national costume or a fashionable pair of shoes is perfectly made and completed in the time you sip a cup of coffee.
AO DAI MADE IN A “SHORT TIME”
The ancient capital is well-known for the symbol of the delicate and graceful Ao Dai which reveals the charm of women from the land of Huong River and Ngu Mountain. People visiting Hue often go to temples, citadels, palaces and try unique specialties as well as choose souvenirs to bring home. Women often choose to buy Ao Dai because it is fashionable and represents the soul of Hue. Of course, you do not have to wait for a week like at the tailor shop in your city to get a nice Ao Dai; it is made only in 3-10 hours with almost perfect services, which will satisfy any fastidious woman.
Ao Dai tailor shops in Hue have survived a hundred of years with skillful craftsmen, specializing in tailoring for the royal palace people. The material used to make Ao Dai in Hue is silk or linen. You can buy the fabric yourself then take it to the tailor shop or choose the fabric right at the shop. Tailoring services in Hue are not only fast and well-qualified but also very professional. All your measurements will be saved so that if you want another one, you can just make a phone call and they will make it for you. All tailor shops have delivery services, or you can even order online in advance and come to pick it up when it is convenient for you. You may think that it is almost impossible that the Ao Dai would fit you perfectly on the first try and would need many adjustments.
However, do not worry, the craftsmanship, master tailoring skills, and thoughtful customer services will satisfy you. The staff will deliver the product to the hotel where you stay and wait while you are trying it. If you are not satisfied, they will adjust it until it fits you well, and you do not have to pay any additional cost. Therefore, my girlfriend also had an Ao Dai made in Hue; she looks so graceful and gentle like the girls in the ancient capital by the Huong River.
