Clients who knock on the door of Sebastian Navarro seeking exclusivity, custom clothes, and avoid at all costs that the dress she will wear at the wedding of her sister, her cousin or niece may be repeated.


"Everyone has a personal taste and personal needs. The only way to achieve this is the design. That's the difference between what I offer and what trade offers.

Become a dress for a celebration as this workshop costs about 250 euros (price does not include the fabric). They go here women, children and men. The latter, says Carmen, are the most reluctant to visit them. "Men are bad to come to prove," he concludes with a laugh.


In another commercial gallery, the Discovery, is El Extremeño Thimble. It was, says its owner, one of the first workshops arrangements which opened in Caceres. "We are very high season, especially communions. And now they add weddings. The months of May, June and July we have a lot of work, "summarizes Antonio Avila.
