Sastrería

Hola any suggestion for a dress maker/ seamstress, I am having a tough time finding one!
thank you

There are a couple of sastrerías on Catalina González street between 5 de Mayo and Cuauhtémoc streets in downtown Zihuatanejo. My wife uses the one near the corner owned by a very corpulent woman. If you get lost or confused just ask at the tienda for the "mujer sastre". I don't recall her name.

Years ago, one of those shops did a terrific job on a t-shirt I'd recently purchased across the street from Rick's Bar. The word "Zihua" was stitched across the entire front of the shirt, and the stitching started to unravel after the first washing. The lady completed the intricate re-stitching the same day, and charged an unbelievable 40 pesos! We've also had purses, shoes and fanny packs repaired at shops in the same area: excellent work at embarrassingly low prices.
As an aside, I keep asking local t-shirt vendors why they don't sell t-shirts with the word "Zihua".....or at least "Zihuatanejo".... instead of nothing but the ubiquitous "Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo."
