We arrived in Hoi An after our little stop off at Hoa’s yesterday. Our first order of business was to follow our new best friend Hoa’s advice and check out Sarah’s Boutique.
Hoi An’s claim to tourism fame is the hundreds of tailors lining the streets. Sarah’s Boutique is one of those. We went in and sat down looking to have just a couple of things made. Jacob needed a suit for Nick’s wedding shortly after we get home and I was thinking about getting a classic black dress made. Not only are they talented tailors but these people are good salespeople. Couple that with neither of us being able to do any real clothes shopping for the past year and you have a disaster on your hands.
After looking through the books a few times we ordered quite a bit more than a suit and a dress. Our final order also included a pair of jeans for each of us a pair of dress pants a white blouse a wool winter coat for yours truly and a shirt and tie for Jacob.
Today we went back for our fittings and we were hooked. It is a completely different experience trying on clothes that you chose and that were made to fit you. It makes you feel like a million dollars. So much so that we placed another order. Jacob asked for two more shirts and I finally decided on a skirt and another shirt.
It has all been fun and games until now. We will see how we feel tomorrow when we have to pay for the whole thing. Luckily they charge a tenth of what you’d pay to have a tailor look at you in Canada. The really hard part will be paying to ship it all home.

You have to post some pictures for sure
I’ll see what I can do. I have to go pick it up tomorrow and ship it home. It is just plain black though. I also got a black and a white shirt made. Hopefully it will suit for the wedding.
