Need a good tailor in Satwa, Karama or Bur Dubai

I have been in Dubai for the last 20 yrs, but hardly ever used a tailor. Now I am looking for a good tailor, heard the good ones are in Satwa. Need to get a couple of evening gowns stitched. Would you know any such tailor who could do a good job, without ruining the material.

Coventry Tailoring down a side street opposite Satwa Post Office is very good, very cheap too. I've used them several times.

Thank you for the feedback, will surely give them a try. Can you give me a ballpark value of how much they have charged you in the past for an evening gown? Also, would you have their telephone number. Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, my evening gowns tend to fit me perfectly straight from the shop. But they did charge a friend of mine around 120 Dhs to make a dress from scratch (material not included).

I usually use them for suit alterations, I've never been charged more than 100 Dhs, and even then, it's usually been "just give me what you like" so I gave 100 Dhs, probably would have accepted less.

Wow, now that is really cheap. Thank you, I am now excited to try them out.

Can you post a screenshot of the approximate spot/location?

Yes, yes I can.

It's one of the alleys opposite Satwa Clinic (not the post office). You can see the sign from the main road.
