Omar is the go to guy for quinceineras. He designs and makes the most awesome gowns that rival, but are not quite as big, as a travelers wedding gown. How could a girl not feel like a princess? His shop is full of sparkle, glitter, dresses, material. It's a hot mess. The shop isn't pretty or fancy, but his dresses are fabulous, made for a very specific demographic. He also does event planning, has party supplies, makes outrageous silk flower arrangements if you need that. He's the Latino Austin Scarlett of the quinceinera world.
I do not need a quinceinera dress, being a middle aged white woman. I went for alterations. 18 bucks to bring in the waist on one pair of jeans and hem another pair. Done in a week! Was it the best tailoring job ever? No, but it was quick and cheap, and for jeans that I just wear on weekends I'm not that picky. I don't think I'd bring anything designer or really special to be tailored, but for a quick hem or tuck in the waist, it's fine. read more
