Team Orders
Custom white coats and scrubs with logos, name embroidery and specific adjustments were completed for individuals and teams.

A large alteration order of 10 shirts and seven pairs of trousers was collected and returned to the customer’s door over a weekend.

Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm Design. For made-to-measure pieces, discuss the construction and repeat the details before leaving fabric; one skirt order went wrong after unclear communication.
Inspect Pickup. Check every garment carefully before leaving, particularly if you are travelling soon; one customer spotted a wrong-side seam after collection.
Ask About Urgency. If you need a quick alteration, ask whether it can be handled immediately; a customer received two suit trousers altered on the spot.
Use WhatsApp. WhatsApp may help coordinate textile choices and delivery: one customer managed shirts and matching shorts remotely within three days.

The Bottom Line
Electra Tailoring & Textiles is a Bur Dubai tailor handling both alterations and garments made from scratch. Customers come for custom shirts, suit trouser adjustments, dresses and suits, while uniform clients have ordered custom white coats and personalized scrubs with logos or name embroidery. That range makes it useful for anything from a quick repair to a coordinated team order.
Speed is a real draw. Reviews describe two suit trousers altered on the spot, five shirts and matching shorts completed within three days, and a 10-shirt, seven-trouser alteration order collected and returned to a customer’s door over one weekend. Pricing is repeatedly described as reasonable, including for more involved work such as reshaping trousers from a sample garment.
The strongest reviews point to precise stitching, courteous communication and durable work; one long-term customer says garments made five or six years ago still look new. There are also serious cautionary accounts: a shirt came back first too loose and then too tight, a uniform order was reportedly two months late with little response, and other customers reported damaged material or incorrect construction. For complicated designs, confirm the details and construction clearly, then inspect every item at collection.
