Bridal & Formalwear

The dress should fit you, not the other way round.

Wedding dresses, quinceañera gowns, prom, and formalwear are handled personally by Liz — the same hands that build couture for the New York Fashion Week runway.

Bridal work is done over multiple fittings, because a gown that fits in March may not fit in June. Bring the shoes and undergarments you plan to wear; the hem depends on them.

Start early if you can. Six to eight weeks before the date is comfortable. Less than that is often still possible — just ask.

What We Do

Alteration Services

If it's made of fabric, we can almost certainly fix, resize, or rebuild it.

Hemming & Shortening

Professional hemming and shortening for pants, skirts, dresses, and sleeves in El Paso, TX.

Tailoring & Fitting

Custom tailoring and fitting to bring an existing garment to your exact measurements.

Garment Repair & Mending

Repairs, mending, zipper replacement, and seam restoration for damaged or worn garments.

Resizing

Taking in or letting out garments for a precise fit, including formalwear and bridal.

Custom Garment Design

Made-to-order garments handcrafted to your measurements by a New York Fashion Week designer.

Embellishment & Embroidery

Custom embroidery, beading, and embellishment applied to new or existing garments.

Don't see what you need? Ask anyway. Most of the interesting work that comes through the studio doesn't fit neatly into a category.

Questions

Before You Ask

How much do alterations cost?
It depends entirely on the garment and the work involved — a simple hem is not the same job as reconstructing a bodice. Send photos through the form below and we'll quote you before any work starts. No surprises on the invoice.
How long does it take?
Most standard alterations are turned around in one to two weeks. Bridal and formalwear need longer because they usually involve multiple fittings. If you have a hard date, tell us — we'll say honestly whether we can meet it.
Do you alter wedding dresses?
Yes, and it's some of our favourite work. Bridal alterations are handled personally by Liz, with fittings at the studio. Bring the shoes and undergarments you'll wear on the day — the fit depends on them.
Can you take in a dress you didn't make?
Of course. Most of what comes through the door was bought somewhere else. Off-the-rack pieces are cut for an average body, and almost nobody is average — that's exactly what alterations fix.
Do I need an appointment?
Walk in Saturday between 10am and 2pm, or Sunday 10am to 12pm. Weekdays are by appointment. Submitting the form first means we've already seen photos before you arrive, which usually saves a trip.
Do you offer rush service?
Often, yes — depending on what's already in the queue. Rush work may carry an additional fee, and we'll quote it before starting. Ask early rather than late.

Serving El Paso
since day one.

We're a working atelier on N Cotton Street — not a drop-off counter. Your garment stays in the building, and the person who quotes it is the person who sews it.
