About El Dolce & Its Seamstress

Hi! My name is Elena (El.len.a) and I am the Seamstress behind El Dolce as well as an Army Wife and Mama of 1! We are currently stationed in South Korea for the second time. We have already been here a year but still have two to go!


As far as sewing goes I have always been crafty. I started sewing around the age of 10 and just never stopped! (Thanks 4-H!) After high school I got my degree in Fashion Design but instead of doing the big fancy career thing I decided to marry my darling soldier and follow him around the world (Literally!) This led me to working in a TA-50 shops doing military sewing & alterations at the beginning of our marriage to ocean hopping between Korea and Tennessee and starting my own business.

Now as a self proclaimed Project Queen (and also maybe a bit of a sewing machine hoarder,) I enjoy helping you all with your Military uniforms, alterations, as well as getting you started on your own sewing and craft journey!

Can’t wait to meet all of you stationed with us here or not and see how I can help you!
