    Custom women's ao dai and men's rental
    Junelle M.

    Prior to an upcoming tea ceremony my husband and I were invited to, we originally just popped in to look for ao dais and ended up getting a custom ao dai and rental. I tried on a few dresses that their intern helped me pick, as I was not familiar with ao dais. She was very helpful in answering all my questions, including how it should properly fit and what the current cultural trends were. The shop also has heels you can try on to help with measuring for alterations (especially helpful if, like me, you forget to bring the ones you plan to wear on the day of the event!). The ao dai I picked would have needed alterations, but the owner, Michael, explained that it would cost about the same to make the alterations compared to making a custom one. After he showed me these new fabrics he had at his warehouse overseas, I opted to go with a unique purple-colored, custom ao dai. Personally, I love the feel and look of the fabric, and it fits perfectly -- not to mention, as someone that went to fashion school, the sewing quality is really top notch! My husband picked out a purple rental, and we had multiple people at the tea ceremony ask where we had gotten our outfits. We told them exactly what I'm about to tell you: We went to Ao Dai Bao Han, and we'd definitely go back for all of our ao dai-related needs. Michael, Hero/Hiro (the cat), and his team are great, and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. I honestly love it so much, I can't wait to have a chance to wear my ao dai again!

    We have visited this shop frequently in these past few weeks to alter many outfits because of our wedding, and we felt welcomed every time. Michael, who is the owner, is not only kind & sweet, but also honest and communicative. It's nice that he is able to translate between us and his staff; sometimes it's hard to support local small business when you don't speak the same language. I really appreciate how affordable and flexible they are as a business. Our wedding in the past weekend would not have been successful if we didn't have Michael & the team's support to alter our lehengas, dresses, and pants. Michael also helped design the Chinese style jacket tailored to me, and I loved it so much. I never thought someone could make this happen when traditional clothings tend to be binary, but Michael did. We are so happy to be supporting a local business who truly cares and is queer-friendly. Many of my friends have asked about my jacket after the wedding, and I will keep recommending this place anytime. Plus, Michael rescued Hiro the store cat, and he is such a friendly kitty! Definitely the reflection of the good characters of this business. Thank you Michael!

    I had a great experience here getting a velvet cheongsam I ordered online tailored for an Argentine tango dance at my wedding. Due to the nature of Argentine tango, I needed both a back slit (lower) and a side slit (high), and the side slit for dancing is on the opposite side of the traditional cheongsam slit which is usually on the left. The store I ordered from only does slits on the left side, so I ordered the version with no slits at all. I asked multiple tailors and many of them took a single look at the cheongsam and turned me away saying that it couldn't be done, too little fabric etc. One even told me I ordered too cheaply online which is why they couldn't do it (excuse me???). Finally I took my dress to Ao Dai Bao Han in San Jose and Michael the owner took a look at it and said it was perfectly doable, and they would just reinforce the slit slightly with extra fabric. Some of the seamstresses there only spoke Vietnamese, but Michael spoke English quite well and was easy to communicate with. They had me wear the cheongsam in store and mark where I needed the slits. The price was very reasonable and they were quite fast. The first time I came to pick up, the side slit was actually not high enough. It was high enough as a typical cheongsam slit, but for tango kicks it has to be pretty much at the point where your leg bends! Michael was mildly scandalized by how high I was requesting the slit to be and asked me several times if I was sure hahaha But upon my reassurance they were able to speedily redo the slit for me to pick up a few days later at no extra cost, and it turned out perfect during my wedding dance. They also mentioned that they often do alterations and even custom dresses for dancers in the Bay Area, and told me I could go to them next time if I needed them to recreate a specific latin dance dress from scratch! (Unrelatedly for anyone who's wondering, the underwear does show a little during tango dances - traditionally you either get a leotard style dress or the exact same color underwear as your dress so it's not too obvious, and you do need to pin the side of the underwear to right above the slit so that the dress doesn't slide way high above it, which would be indeed scandalous! XD)

    We celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary with a vow renewal celebration in Maui. The dress code was all white. We did a mini tea ceremony for our parents. I wanted to wear an all white Ao Dai since I asked everyone to wear white (my original was red). If you have strong preferences of what you like, I would recommend having a lot of printed pictures and circling the details you like of each sample. I am more relaxed and chill and I just trusted Michael to make me look pretty lol. I showed him some dresses I liked but I kind of said I don't know why I like them I just like them. I said "beachy, lightweight, and I want a big hat." When I came to pick up the dress a week before the wedding (I ordered it 6 months in advance), I was surprised. It was heavy and I wasn't sure if it was what I asked for. It was A LOT! But then I wore it. And when I saw the pictures, I was speechless. I could see all the parts I said I liked, they were part of my dress. It was really perfect. This is how the process went for me: Call and make an appointment Arrive, try on some samples Show him pictures of what I liked He tells me how he is going to design in He goes to Vietnam Come back for first fitting 3-4 weeks before the wedding A couple alterations Pick up dress I think twice I came for appointment and there was a miscommunication. The first time Michael went with his mom to Orange County so he missed my appt. The second time, the alterations were not ready. It doesn't matter for me because I'm local and I'm also chill about everything since it was just my vow renewal. If you live far, I would just recommend calling to confirm the appt before you drive over! Overall, I think you can be involved in the process as much as you want. For me, I just trust Michael. And it's pretty much guaranteed you will look amazing. Also bonus was that the dresses are made in my hometown of Hai Phong!

    This review is long overdue to share with the community how great Michael and his team Ao Dai Bao Han are. I started going to Ao Dai Bao Han back in April when I needed to get a wedding guest dress altered. I have been so pleased with their work that I keep going back. I have gotten pants hemmed, holes in shirts patched, a zipper on my backpack repaired, and most recently got my wedding dress altered. Michael is communicative, friendly, meets promised deadlines, and professional. The seamstress is very attentive to detail and does amazing work. I am so glad to have found this hidden gem.

I love that it offers a true boutique shopping experience without the boutique price tag, and I can usually count on finding something I love. Unfortunately, my experience today (3/18) fell short of what I've come to expect over the years. When I walked in, I wasn't greeted, which is something I've always appreciated in the past--it really sets a welcoming tone. Jocelyn eventually helped me into a dressing room, but along the way there were several missed opportunities for basic customer service. I was browsing with my arms full, and at no point was I offered help holding items or starting a fitting room, which would have made shopping easier. When I was ready to try things on, I was asked to sort and count my items due to the 6-garment limit. I completely understand and respect that policy as a way to manage inventory in a small business. However, during that process, a few items fell behind the counter and weren't addressed at the time. Once in the dressing room, there was no check-in to see how things were fitting or if I needed different sizes or colors--something I've consistently experienced and appreciated during past visits. I did ask to swap out items, and Jocelyn was helpful and pleasant in doing so. At checkout, the items that had fallen behind the counter were brought up again, and I was asked if I wanted to try them on. Since I was already dressed, I declined, but it would have been helpful if those had been handled earlier. There was only one other customer in the store, who had already checked out by the time I was in the fitting room, so it didn't seem particularly busy. I've always associated Bombshell Boutique with attentive, thoughtful service--being greeted, having items held, and receiving support in the dressing room. That level of care makes a big difference and is part of why I've been a loyal customer for so long. This visit just felt a bit lackluster in comparison. I'll definitely be back, but I hope this was just an off day.
