Del Mar Tailoring has operated out of 230 12th St, Del Mar, CA 92014, for roughly 40 years, making it one of the longest-running family-owned alteration shops in the village. The small storefront is tucked behind other businesses off the main street and is not immediately visible from Camino Del Mar — but locals know to look for the modest entrance just south of the 12th Street and Pacific Lane intersection. Sue and her staff handle everything from basic hems starting around $10 to complex garment restructuring, wedding dress alterations, suit tailoring, and clothing mending and repair. Reviewers consistently highlight fast turnaround times, with several noting next-day service on straightforward jobs, and the friendly, no-frills atmosphere that keeps the focus squarely on quality craftsmanship at fair prices. On-site parking is available, and the shop accepts cash as its primary payment method. The 12th Street location places Del Mar Tailoring within a short walk of several clothing boutiques along Camino Del Mar, including Patrick James, where customers often purchase dress shirts and suits and then bring them directly to Sue for a custom fit. Race season visitors heading to the Del Mar Fairgrounds regularly rely on Del Mar Tailoring for last-minute outfit adjustments before opening day.
