Lai's Royal Tailoring

Couples often say Lai’s Royal Tailoring is a Chinatown go-to when you need seamless cheongsam alterations or custom work, with many applauding Mrs. Lai for explaining adjustments in both English and Chinese and delivering tight-turnaround fixes. What people appreciate is her decades of experience, her skill in translating your requests into well-fitting traditional silhouettes, and her reasonable pricing compared to higher-end bridal tailors. On the flip side, some found her communication inconsistent: she’s described as “hard to reach” by phone, and one bride complained about defensiveness after a mistake. For those who don’t speak Chinese, she does conduct business in English, but reviews suggest nuances in design conversations tend to go smoother in Cantonese or Mandarin.
