I needed someone to make a custom ao dai (Vietnamese traditional dress) for my Tea Ceremony because my body type is very different from the typical viet girl, so buying something online wasn’t an option for me. I found Nghi online through social media and emailed him through his Instagram page. Since messaging him, we’ve been in close contact about every step of the design and creative process. Nghi has been incredibly helpful, kind, and has made my first custom experience amazing. The dress is SO well made and beautiful. For a personalized design and alteration experience, Neewin is the company to contact!

I ran into some trouble finding an engagement dress and Nghi was able to custom make a dress for me and accomadate my extremely short notice!! He was so flexible with my fitting, due to me having to travel in for them, and was so kind and professional keeping me updated even with the short time frame. He was able to mail it over to me and it fit so perfectly! I would definitely recommend him to do a custom piece!

Nghi did any amazing job on alternating my bridesmaids dress. Nghi was very gentle when taking my measurements, making sure I was comfortable, and did a great job listening to what I was asking for. It was quick and affordable. I had my husband’s clothes altered here as well. Would highly recommend if you need any alterations!
