Emerald lace gown with satin drape on the dress form at Salimar Fashion and Tailor, Columbus

African fashion, cut and finished by hand.

Salimar specializes in African fashion — beaded gowns, aso-ebi, lace and traditional wear — made to order around one person: you. Alongside custom pieces, we offer full tailoring and alteration services for garments of every kind.

A first consultation takes under an hour. We take your measurements, talk through fabric, style and occasion, and agree on a date. Nothing is rushed and nothing leaves the shop until it fits.

You will find us on Morse Road in Northland — a few minutes from Westerville and Gahanna, and an easy drive from Worthington, New Albany or anywhere else in Columbus. Many of our clients first came in for a simple alteration and have been bringing us their occasions ever since.
