Hoi An is famous for it's many tailors, so in order to fully experience the culture of Hoi An, we decided to get some clothes made! As soon as we arrived we went to Yaly Tailors to be fitted, to allow time for any adjustments. They had hundreds of catalogues and magazines to look through and they just copy the designs. After choosing a skirt and dress for Laura and a top and skirt for Holly, we chose our fabric and then had every part of our body measured!! While the tailors worked their magic we explored the old streets of Hoi An. It is a very old town and has a big Chinese and French influence. The streets are filled with tailors, lantern makers, art galleries, sculpters worshops and cobblers, who also make shoes from pictures and lots of little cafes and restaurants. That night we back to the tailors for our second fitting and after making a few amendments the tailors got back to work!
