they are not bad. Cheap (2 tailor made for 480,000) and I think they had them done in a week. 'Dainty' is actually a chain and have several spots around Seoul but I can only speak for the one you referred to.
....but if they can make Simon out of Simon and Martina look good, well......

I'd like to know this as well. The shirts and vest that I got from them are still in great condition to this day, so I'd be comfortable in trying out their suits. Just...need a reason to buy a suit.

My wedding suit was made by Dainty near Apkujeong somewhere. Business is likely all done at a central location, anyway. Dainty is a well-known chain.

The suit itself was OK. Price was good. You could, as mentioned, get a decent deal on 2 suits. When I got mine 4 years ago, it was 2 suits for 370,000.

You could do worse, but as with all things like this, you sort of get what you pay for.

I did get a white shirt made (it was white with some blue thread material in it) and the blue thread all started coming out at the waist. That is more of a problem with material choice than anything, though.

For the price, I'd buy there again.
