In Style Thoi Trang

awesome place for 1-​stop shopping for everything you need for your wedding! the owner is awesome and super friendly. she listens to what you want and makes sure you get everything you want, exactly how you want it – no surprises on your big day! i hate how some places tell you this or that but when they deliver the product you can tell they skimped on the flowers are accessories to make more money out of you. that won’t happen to you here… i feel like the owner really does have your best interest at heart and won’t try to rip you off every chance she gets. she also has a wide variety of wedding dresses and evening gowns and constantly gets new ones in… and if you don’t see anything in the store that you like, she has loads of catalogs you can order from! lastly, and most importantly, her flower arrangements are BEAUTIFUL and really affordable! she’s really got a talent for it because everything turned out better than i expected and for way less than what other places quoted me!

Have been going to Tram since my Ao Dai fiasco in 2008. I will call her and say, «hey Tram, it’s Anna, I need this done in 3 days, can you do it?» The answer is always yes.
She is really and truly the best tailor I’ve ever had. I can’t believe I even «have» a tailor! She has created new pieces for me, adjusted clothes to fit me, changed zippers, etc etc.
She does quality work and will tell you if she can’t produce something of hihg caliber. She will not give you false information (or false hope that something will look good on you!)
Recommend Tram for beautiful Ao Daïs and reliable tailoring!

Tram was awesome. She is reliable and she cares about her work. I had her made my engagement ao dai and it turned out beautiful. When I was not happy about the sleeves, she fixed it the way I want.
I totally recommend her if you are in the San Diego area. I’m definitely going back to have my wedding ao dai made with her.

Let’s be honest, her labor is not cheap. However, if you want to cut the bull and go straight to the chase, she is totally worth it. I’ve been through a lot with many tailors where they think YOU need their business and they just have zero customer service! The owner, Tram is not like that at all. Her fabric is beautiful. In fact, she makes them in house too! That is very important to consider if you’re looking for a particular fabric. If you go to other ao dai places, most likely, they exported it from other countries and you’d be lucky if you got the same fabric! Well, you wouldn’t have a problem here and you’re guaranteed to get the fabric that you requested for. I almost gave up getting a custom ao dai made for my wedding when my friend asked me to check this place out as a final resort in San Diego. When I met up with her for the first time, she totally put me at ease and communicated with me in a timely fashion. She gave me honest answers by telling me what she could do and couldn’t do. She runs her business by herself, however, it is by no means that I am saying she is a slow worker. She actually takes her job very seriously. I came to her about 3 months before my wedding and with 9 custom ao daïs to make, she absolutely delivered. It was overall a very pleasant experience! If I ever need to get more ao dai made again in the future, I’m coming back here for sure!

Okay, I had to deep dive and find my Unilocal login just to go in and edit this review of In Style. Yes, I did work with In Style for my engagement early spring of 2009 and everything worked out well.
Now, working with her on the wedding (September 2009) is another story. Don’t get to wrong, she has the things you need but limited selection and her floral work was not that great (luckily she only did my bouquet). If I had to do it again, I would have worked with Thanh Thuy on University Avenue. Chi Thuy has a lot more selections.
One positive note on In Style, she gives you a credit for your wedding if she did your engagement and for the wedding, they setup and took down all the seat covers. Downer, I don’t know how much it cost me since everything was counted as a «package deal». I guess I’ll never know.
