Hoi An is famous for its tailor shops. I’m not yet sure whether that’s because they’re good, or simply because there are loads of them (I believe over 500 and they certainly seem to make up around half the total businesses in town, including one with the somewhat controversial name of My Lai).

With all that choice, selecting a shop was probably more difficult than the fabric or cut, but we both ended up getting a few pieces from the ladies at A Dong Silk. So we’re now in a position to settle the quality issue.
