We really lucked out finding Thanh Trang Áo Dài at the Asian Garden Mall in Westminster!…read more
I usually order our áo dài outfits from Etsy, but we needed something for my cousin's wedding, and I wasn't sure what sizes to order for my kids since they had grown. We figured we'd check out the Asian Garden Mall for convenience, even though I knew we could probably find better deals elsewhere.
I'm so glad we stopped here!
We ended up getting beautiful, good-quality áo dài outfits for myself, my son, and my daughter. My husband already had his outfit, and luckily, his size hadn't changed, so we didn't need to get him anything new.
What really impressed me was the customer service. The lady helping us had a great eye for style and picked out some beautiful outfits for the kids. She was patient, helpful, and made the entire experience comfortable.
One thing I especially appreciated was that she never made me feel uncomfortable about my body size. Unfortunately, I've experienced that at other clothing shops, especially when shopping for traditional Asian clothing. Here, I felt completely comfortable trying things on and trusting her recommendations.
Another HUGE plus is that alterations are included in the price! She even threw in an extra pair of pants because she thought the color matched better. It's those little things that make a difference.
She's also willing to negotiate on pricing, which I appreciated since we were buying multiple outfits.
She offered to have our alterations finished the same day, but we weren't in a rush, so we arranged to pick everything up a couple of days later. Everything was ready, and pickup was super easy.
While we were shopping, I noticed quite a few customers coming back to pick up their outfits. That was reassuring because it was obvious she had plenty of returning customers.
There are several shops selling áo dài in the area, but I'm really happy we chose this one. Between the quality, included alterations, helpful styling advice, and friendly service, it was worth it.
And most importantly, we all looked great at the wedding!
If you're shopping for Vietnamese traditional clothing for a wedding, Lunar New Year, or another special occasion, I highly recommend checking out Thanh Trang Áo Dài!
