Remote suit tailoring can be every bit as accurate as an in-person measuring session — provided the process is properly standardised and a consultant accompanies you at every step. Mon Amie's Online Order is a system of remote consultation, measurement, cloth selection and confirmation built for exactly that purpose. In a previous article, Mon Amie introduced the six-step process; this one looks at it from your side — the client's — with practical lessons for making a remote order succeed on the first attempt.
Who should consider remote tailoring
Online Order exists so that busy clients, those living far away or abroad, can still enjoy fine tailoring with the same precision and attentive service as at the showroom. Four groups benefit most clearly:
- Clients in distant provinces: consultation and ordering without travelling to a Ho Chi Minh City showroom.
- International clients: Vietnamese living abroad or foreign clients, served to international standards.
- Returning clients: measurements kept on file for life, so reordering takes only minutes — with online order tracking and fitting appointments whenever needed.
- Busy executives: packed calendars that call for fast, flexible ordering around your schedule.
If you are in Ho Chi Minh City and have the time, Mon Amie still recommends visiting a showroom at least once to touch the cloth and be measured in person; every remote order afterwards becomes effortless.
What makes a remote order trustworthy
Convenience only matters when it comes with accuracy. Four things you should verify at any tailor before ordering online:
- A transparent process: every step — cloth selection, measurement, confirmation, production, delivery — is clear, easy to follow and consistently updated.
- Controlled measurement: detailed measuring guidance, or better still, a one-to-one video call so a consultant can watch your measuring in real time.
- Confirmation before production: you review everything — cloth, style, measurements, details — and approve the order before the workshop cuts any cloth.
- Genuine after-sales care: a commitment to alterations whenever needed to guarantee a precise fit. At Mon Amie, this alteration guarantee is standard on every order, online or in person.
How to measure accurately from a distance
Measurement is the decisive step of a remote order. A few lessons Mon Amie has drawn from thousands of orders:
- Ask a family member to measure you rather than measuring yourself — the back waist and back length are very hard to take accurately on your own.
- Wear a thin shirt while measuring, stand naturally upright without pulling in your stomach, and take each measurement twice.
- Photograph yourself standing straight from the front, side and back — the consultant will read your shoulder line and the curve of your back to adjust the pattern.
- Provide your height, weight and even the shirt or trouser sizes that currently fit you well — valuable cross-reference data.
- If you own a suit that fits the way you like, measure it too, and note what you want kept and what you want changed.
Support throughout, after you order
Once the order is confirmed and paid, you never lose sight of it:
- Progress updates: notifications at every stage from confirmation to delivery.
- Support around the clock: the Mon Amie team is always on hand with prompt answers.
- Delivery to your door: premium packaging that protects the garment, delivered on time — internationally included.
- Alterations and returns: we stay with you until you are genuinely satisfied. Distant clients can send the garment back for adjustment, or receive alteration specifications from Mon Amie for a trusted local tailor.
Mon Amie's four standing commitments: clear information and a transparent process; accurate measurements and a true-to-fit garment; genuine cloth and meticulous production; on-time delivery and a dependable guarantee.
A word from Mon Amie's artisans
One principle Mon Amie has kept through years of remote orders: never cut cloth while a single number remains in doubt. Better to spend ten more minutes on a video call re-measuring than to deliver a suit that disappoints a client on the other side of the country. A well-made online order should still feel like being served in the showroom — that is the standard we measure ourselves against.
