Sarita and her husband Joe are real fixture of the El Paso fashion scene and a benchmark of excellence for their clothing alteration. Last year Sarita did an alteration that was complex in a very short period of time. She is known in the community for the best alteration and her honesty. She will tell you the truth whether a garment fits or not. She does not back away from any work. Because she was trained as a tailor she also understands garments from inside out and brings a deep knowledge of best practices for alteration. We are blessed to have this family owned business in El Paso! #supportelpasoloacalbusinesses read more

I highly recommend Sarita's for alterations. I called around because I was looking for party sleeves for my husband's ball shirt (Army). They were very friendly when I called and said they hadn't heard of it but would give it a try. The person on the phone said to just bring it in. My husband took his shirt in and he said it was an easy experience. We picked up the shirt three weeks later, like quoted. The shirt was perfect! The price was cheaper than quoted on Etsy. Such a great experience! read more

It was a Saturday and I needed a pants hemmed by Monday. I looked for different tailors but it seemed like most were closed on the weekend. One posted hours open on Saturday but they were not, in fact, open. Luckily, Sarita's was open. I went in around 2 (they close at 4), and they told me they would be closed this Monday. One of the lovely ladies there said she would be able to hem it same day, and to come back in about 20 minutes to an hour. That was exceptional, and the job they did was solid. read more

Terrible customer service. Sarita is one of the rudest, unprofessional business owner that i have ever encountered! To think i drove an hour to visit her establishment only to be "assisted" by a stuck up woman! read more

They fixed my coat very well and a couple days ahead of schedule. I hope to use them again soon.

Saved my wedding day! I originally had my wedding dress altered by another seamstress and it turned out horrible.. I didn't know this until the day before my wedding. Saturday morning I woke up and immediately searched Yelp for anyone open before 10 as I needed my dress fixed same day before 12!! I called Sarita's Sewing at 9:15 they told me to bring in the dress to see if they could do anything, I got to the store at 9:30 they checked me out in the dress and I kid you not I was out of the store at 10:15 with my dress in hand!! Within a hour they fixed my wedding dress and I only paid $60... definitely coming here on out! Thank you for saving my wedding dress on my big day! read more

Sarita and Joe are a fantastic team who made my husband and me look our best on our wedding day. Sarita is kind, talented and has great attention to detail. She allowed me time, down to the last possible day, to lose my last couple of pounds so that my dress would fit perfectly. I'm very petite and my dress was sized for someone exceeding 6' tall, but Sarita made my dress fit like a glove. I will be going back to Sarita for all of my future dress alteration needs. read more

Very unprofessional, I left my formal dress on Saturday May 29, 2021 for alterations. I was told it would be ready by Monday June 14, 2021 or before. On the day that my dress was supposed to be ready, I received a call from Sarita's telling me that my dress was not ready and that they would have it by Wednesday, June 16, 2021 in the afternoon. Unfortunately, I needed my dress by Tuesday June 15, 2021. Nevertheless, they were going to charge me $217.31. I decided to take my dress somewhere else. Definitely would not recommend, such a waste of time, they won't have your items ready when they say they will. read more

Sarita's Custom Sewing - Receipt - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Sarita is very nice. The store is what it is an alteration shop nothing fancy but very clean and orderly. I brought her my wedding dress. I needed the bodice lined because it was see through and showing to much skin is not my style. I also needed the hips let out because I have some what of a big butt. And I also needed the chest taken in because I have some what small boobs. She did all three things for a little over $200 hefty price but fair definitely not outrageous. She did an amazing job with all the above it looks as if it was made that way. I was worried as my dress is lace and I wasn't sure how it would turn out with needing to be let out and all. But it turned out absolutely amazing you would never know it was altered. Took about 2 weeks for a fitting and one week for the final. So 3 weeks total. Sarita does amazing work and I recommend her for anyone. Hope she remembers me if I ever need another formal dress altered. read more

I came to Sarita with my off-the-rack wedding dress and some extra lace, in hopes that she could alter it and make it totally unique... and it turned out better than I imagined! It fit like a glove and went from strapless dress to a beautiful high neckline. It was gorgeous. Highly recommend for altering wedding/evening gowns. read more

Great place for evening gown alterations! Sarita is very sweet and knows what she's doing. The alterations (bust and shoulder) were exactly what I wanted and complete within 5 days! The price was very reasonable. I've been surprised by a hefty bill from other alteration places in El Paso too many times. I highly recommend this place! read more

They tried to charge me $125 for alterations of a bridesmaids dress which only needed slight alterations. It needed a hem and the bust taken in a bit. Crazy! I have never paid more than $40 for bridesmaid dress alterations and I have been in multiple weddings. read more

These folks do a great job at very reasonable prices, and are very friendly to boot! Right now not open on Saturday or Monday so check with them before heading out! read more

I had my final wedding dress fitting with Sarita. I couldn't be happier with her beautiful work!

The best experience from start to finish. I brought my wedding dress in for alterations two weeks before my wedding date so super last minute. Sarita took her time to address all the small details my dress needed that I didn't even realize it needed and finished my dress in less than a week! She built in a bustle, evened out any structural imbalances, and even ironed it out so when I tried on my dress everything looked perfect! She goes above and beyond even on such short notice. My dress also had a ton of lace and intricate beading that I was a little weary about bringing it to be altered. Sarita's is the only place I would trust with such a detailed dress! read more

Have been bringing my clothes here fo years!!!! So has my whole family! I've had the best results with them! They are also the sweetest humans ever read more

Sarita and Joe are wonderful people and so very friendly! I brought my wedding dress here for alterations and Sarita did a phenomenal job. As a new bride I was very worried to take my hand made designer gown just anywhere. After my first fitting, I knew I came to right place. My dress was ready in two fittings. I will definitely be using Sarita again! read more

Bad customer service. I was charged an additional $16.00 dollars on top of the $64.00 dollars I had intially payed. When I asked why the additional cost of the the older gentlemen that is in the front desk didn't want to tell me why and seemed bothered I was asking. They took close to a month to have the dress ready and when the dress was ready they didn't even bother to call me and let me know, I had to call them and ask. I was going to take my wedding dress to this place to get alterations but after this I'm not.... I would suggest to find another place in El Paso to get alterations not all that great. :( read more

Sarita did an absolute wonderful job on all of my outfits for my wedding. I had brought in custom made Indian outfits that needed some adjustments. The material on all my outfits were heavy, silk and with a lot of beading and work but she was able to seamlessly work with the material and alter it perfectly to my body. Thank you so much Sarita, you made my day that much more special! read more

Sarita and the whole team are so professional, kind, reliable, and talented. She has altered some cheap, ill-fitting garments into works of art. She also accommodated a very tight turnaround when necessary. A big thank you to everyone at the store--I will definitely be back! read more

Little pricey but do good work and they were great customer service wise. Used them a few times and never had an issue

I've had my ceremony wedding dress and reception dress altered with Sarita and she is wonderful at explaining what needs to be done with the dress in order to achieve the look you want. She is professional, kind, and considerate of the time in which you need the dress. read more

Thank you Sarita and Joe for your fantastic work on my daughter's graduation dress! We always use Saritas. They are friendly and efficient. Always have things done in a timely manner. read more

Our family has depended on Sarita's for alterations for many years. We are never disappointed with the customer service that Sarita and Joe provide! read more

My family has used Sarita's Custom Sewing for several clothing alterations. Their work is absolutely exceptional. They are always timely on their delivery and their prices are quite affordable. I would highly recommend Sarita's Custom Sewing for anything from simple alterations to high-end tailoring work! read more

These people are wonderful. It's a small business that's been in business for like 40+ years. Sarita is so so so kind, and the older gentleman that works there is the sweetest man ever. The prices were reasonable and the craftsmanship is outstanding. I highly recommend and will return for any future alterations. read more

Worst place ever! Very rude, no clue on how to deal with people at all. They are just trying to find a way to get over on people and cheat you one way or another. I would strongly recommend you find another place to get your alterations done or buy your materials. They are very expensive also. Honestly, I don't know how these people are still in business. read more

Sarita's is awesome. They have been in business since forever. It is both an alteration shop and a knitting store. Sara taught me how to knit and has always been patient about helping me pick out yarns and teaching me stitches. The alteration service is also good. I've taken some tricky pieces like a prom dress and they always get it. read more

I agree with F.D. and Michelle S. Sarita's provide very poor customer service. The store looks like a nice place. I decided to give them a try. My experience was very bad. They seem to be busy and maybe, that is probably why they don't bother to keep new customers. I brought white linen jacket. I wanted them to replace back and 2 sides with a piece of lace I also brought. This is a simple job. They just need to cut panels, replace old ones and sew them together. They told me that they are very busy. I said that I am not in rush and I can wait. They promised to call me and give me an average price for their work. Two weeks passed, no calls from Sarita's. I visited them only to find out that their work will cost me...$95. My jaw dropped. I could buy a nice new jacket for such price. I decided to alter my old jacket because I love it. However I am not ready to pay such huge price. I said "no, thank you", picked my jacket and left. I drove to other alteration store and they told me that such work will cost me around $45. I wouldn't even give Sarita's 1 star rating. Never ever again I would ask them to do something for me! read more
