The seamstresses at Buckhead Alterations were extremely accommodating and very helpful in solving my wedding dress problems. They sewed in the cups, so I didn't have to worry about a bra showing or slipping, and they created an amazing bustle that almost made me prefer the bustled version versus the long train. read more

I absolutely love it here. Tina is amazing. She's always been so friendly and welcoming. She actually expedited my birthday dress last year as well and did a amazing job. I always go to Buckhead alterations for anything I need now. I actually attempted to go to Midtown Alterations today and had a terrible experience. I only didn't go to Buckhead because it was too far from me at the time... Then realized that it was absolutely worth it to just go to Nina because she really is the best in Atlanta. She was able to fit in my expedited order and she always does an amazing job read more

I came to Buckhead Alterations because I wasn't happy with the service I received at the dress shop I purchased my wedding dress from. Buckhead Alterations did a great job at taking in my dress. Everything looked professional, they were quick, and it ended up being much more affordable than the bridal shop. They also have a great selection of belts and sashes - I ended up purchasing one and having it made into a belt. I would recommend them to any bride. read more

I need 1 million more stars for this rating!! I am from out of state and here for a wedding that my daughter is a bridesmaid in. Her dress got messed up during travel, and they saved the day for us. Very professional, very responsive and very courteous! read more

Came in from LA and needed to get a dress shortened for a wedding the next day. I called them in the morning to ask what the turn around time would be and they said they can get it done by the next morning. I brought my dress, got it measured, and they said they can get it to me by the end of the day! The ladies were nice and helpful. The cost was reasonable considering the turn around time! read more

They do a decent job at alterations but are extremely overpriced. Brought my suit for alterations and was charged over $250. I might as well have purchased a new one. You need a button replaced, that's an easy $15 - $20. Time for me to find a new alterations shop. I have them 2 instead of 1 star because they do a decent job. However, there are others who do the same for half the price. read more

Went in to get a bridesmaid's dress hemmed and taken up in the front to be less revealing. The top was stitched up with one piece of thread and ended up breaking right as the reception began. Very disappointing as I had only received good reviews on this place and the lady who helped me was lovely. read more

Such a wonderful job altering my wedding dress. Holly also made this mask out of my moms old wedding dress. Everything they did for me was amazing. read more

Buckhead Alterations - Holly did such a wonderful job on my wedding dress alterations. She also made this mask for me out of my moms old wedding dress! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Nice service but way overprices for alterations. I wondered if they just looked at my car and decided they could charge me what they did. I won't be going back again after spending over 800 dollars on a few changes. read more

I've been bringing my clothes to this tailor for a couple of years now. They alter dresses, shirts and jackets for me. I'm very thin and tall, so fit is always an issue when buying clothes. In my opinion it's worth paying a little more to have them tailored to fit me perfectly, especially for things like bridesmaid dresses, and Buckhead Alterations is always perfect. The shop itself is small but cozy and they are friendly and attentive as soon as you walk in. I can tell by the way the shop is set up in the back that they do a LOT of work, but they always finish my clothes within 1 week, even if it's something that needs a lot done. After having such great experiences here, I won't take my clothes anywhere else!! read more

BRIDES BEWARE! What a horrible experience I had here. I went on to a recommendation from the bridal shop where I bought my gown. I had 3 fittings and each one was more unpleasant than the previous. By my 3rd fitting, after I had lost an additional 4 lbs and 1.5 inches, and I complained that the dress was scrunching up on my hips, I was told that I needed to LOSE MORE WEIGHT! Are you kidding me? The dress was BIG ON ME when I brought it in and I continuously lost weight/toned up in the 2 months leading up to the big day. With all of the great reviews, I can only wonder if they hired new staff who didn't understand the dynamics of a short dress? I also suspect one of the issues was that they pulled the top of the dress in too far when converting my neckline to sweetheart. Had they told me that converting to a sweetheart neckline would severely affect the fit of the dress, I definitely would have gone without the conversion. When the dress was so tight in all of the wrong places, I had my measurements taken again. The shop lady admitted that I was 1.5 inches SMALLER than at the start of the process. When I asked how a dress that was loose on me when I dropped it could possibly be too tight, especially with the loss of extra inches, the lady just kept saying, "Oh, I don't know...I don't know." -I wanted to punch something... They ended up having to take some of the breast padding out, just so my back skin didn't bunch over the back of the dress when it was tightened. That resulted in me looking hollowed out in the front. All of my wedding photos from the side show a big gap between the top of the bodice and my chest- So much for a custom-fitted-dress! It's embarrassing and I will have to pay extra to get my photos edited before I can put any on my walls. Overall, I had a very negative experience with this shop. I was told that they were the best in the city and for the price, they should have been. When I asked to speak to the manager, I was just told that they weren't on premises. I was not offered any apology, no call back later, nothing. Instead of feeling like a gorgeous princess with a perfectly fitting dress leading up to my wedding day, I felt like a sausage that needed to watch every morsel that went into my mouth so that I didn't look bad in my photos. -What a disappointment! Thank God the rest of my wedding was magical and it made up for the dress fiasco. Save yourself the heartbreak...DO NOT GO TO THIS SHOP...ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE A SHORT DRESS. read more

I looked all over the place for a decent alterations place that wouldn't cost a fortune or screw up my super expensive bridesmaids dress. I read some reviews online and went with Buckhead Alterations. The lady I worked with was very sweet and seemed to know what she was doing. I brought in a serious bmaid dress - one with a train and everything - and she took care of the fitting in just a few minutes. I was told it would only be 2 weeks. I paid $50 for her to take up the length of the dress. Everything would have been great except that on the day I was supposed to pick it up, they called and asked if they could get it to me in ANOTHER MONTH because "they got backed up and I didn't need my dress until then anyway". Needless to say, after paying $50 for it in advance, I was not happy. I got them down to 2 more weeks and picked it up then. When I was finally able to pick it up and try it on, it fit perfectly. The length is just right. My experience could have been better with the time issue, but otherwise they were ok. My roommate, however, used a different alterations lady and got hers back in less than a week and only paid $40. Looks like I lost out on that one! read more

As a new resident to Atlanta I freaked when I needed alterations on a bridesmaid dress. I hadn't used anyone and reading reviews on Yelp had me worried that every place would ruin a dress that can't be replaced. After taking a leap of faith I tried Buckhead Alterations and couldn't be happier! BHA went above and beyond from the standard alterations. I needed the bust taken in and she used a technique no place has ever used before on a dress of mine. It now fits like a glove! I took my dress in on a Thursday and was leaving for the wedding the following Thursday. They had me come in on Monday for a fitting to make sure additional alterations didn't need to be made. 3 days for a bust alteration without a rush charge?! I'm so happy with BHA and will bring all my items here for any changes that are needed. read more

Bridesmaid dress - do they even make these in normal sizes that don't need alterations? Admittedly, I waited too late to have this really redone, but the store that I had to order the dress from ordered it two sizes too big, despite my ardent protests, and consequently, it wasn't just big it was completely wrong. So the lady here promptly fitted me, taking it in on the sides. They had it done in a week and a half. The workmanship was good - they redid the lining, so you couldn't even really tell that it had been taken in. However, when I came in to pick it up, I was given the dress and then they turned to the next customer, without even recommending I try it on to make sure it was what I wanted. I should have been more assertive, but I guess I was expecting more encouragement or something. In short, I paid $50, and it's still not what I needed, and I still hate the dress. So when you go, make sure you tell them exactly what you want. read more

I had an amazing experience at Buckhead Alterations. This place was recommended by Silver Lining, where I bought my wedding dress and although it's a good 20 miles from my house, it was worth it!! I got married in Alaska and had a pretty tight schedule for shipping my dress there in advance and it needed a number of alterations. The ladies running this joint run it like a well oiled machine. They were very friendly, positive, helpful, and encouraging. I had to have two fittings and the dress was always ready for me when I arrived. I felt very comfortable having them help me in and out of the dress. I'm not sure if their prices are competitive because having a wedding dress altered is not something that I have experience with. Regardless of the price, the work was exceptional. The bead work on the dress did not look altered. The ladies also spent time teaching me how to bustle my dress. I never felt rushed and I always felt well cared for. You will not be disappointed. read more

I love BHA! They are amazing! I went there to get my prom dress hemmed because it was too long!! When I got there, I was greeted by smiles and hello's and hugs. (I know the family who owns BHA!) They had me put the dress on and the heels I would be wearing! The woman helping me, immediately noticed that the lining on the bust of my dress was showing. I would have never seen it!! i got the dress back around 2 weeks later and couldn't have been more pleased! They had me try it on just to be sure the length was correct! THANKS BHA! read more

Helped me get a dress hemmed in 24 hours before a wedding back in June! Thank you for the last minute alteration, you all are lifesavers!

I first came to Buckhead alterations after purchasing my brides maids dress and being recommended to have them alter it. I should have known they were awesome when they had to take off 3 feet of material from the length and a ton of material from the waist and bust. The dress still looked...well...as good as it could for the wedding (the alterations were great! the dress was far less than great). What can you do? Last week I drove 20 miles to Buckhead alterations to have them alter 2 pairs of pants. My number one thing, other than having the length be accurate was to keep the thick hem that the pants originally had. Last thing I wanted was to have the pants have that tucked under look. Picked them up a week later and they were perfect. I am very satisfied! read more

I have been going here for years! They helped with my two wedding gowns..(1 wedding lol) my gowns for galas.. my everyday pieces. Just about everthing! Holly always gets me in and out with no stress! Usually, a quick turn around. Excellent customer service and quality work! read more

I needed my designer jeans hemmed due to the fact that I am vertically challenged and all designer jeans are made for someone 7 feet tall. I took them in on 3/19/12. The man that help me was very helpful and nice. I wish I could remember his name but I memory not so good with names. He advised me that they will be ready the following Monday (3/26/12). I was a little disappointed and it must have shown. I really wanted them to wear that Friday. After seeing how disappointed I was he said call a few days before and he will see what he can do. Well I called on Thursday (3/22/12) hopeing to see if I could possibly pick them up Friday and he said that they were already done to my surprise. I picked them up soon after and they were hemmed perfectly (using the original hem). Now they may be a little more expensive than your average alterations place. I paid $22.00 for alterations but it is Buckhead! It is located in the Krogers plaza across the street from Rusan's. If you are coming into the plaza from Piedmont it is on the left side of Krogers. read more

Let me first say that the quality of the work is good. The length of time for service to be done is reasonable. I have been going to this store for many years. The problem is that I recently took in three pairs of jeans to be hemmed. I have taken countless numbers there for years. I have always been given a receipt with the number of items as well as the cost. This time I was given the receipt, it just didn't have the cost included. Yes, my bad. I should have noticed. I've never paid more than $30 per pair with original hem included. When I picked the jeans up, was charged $255 for the hemming of three jeans. In my opinion they completely overcharged and knew they were doing so by not putting the amount on receipt initially. When I told the person I would never come back into the business, I was offered a 10 percent discount. If you go there, know there's a strong potential to be financially taken advantage of. read more

First time using this company and they did a PHENOMENAL job reweaving areas on two of my suit jackets. Unfortunately, clothes moths chewed holes in not one, but TWO of my favorite wool jackets. Yes, it was pricey to fix the jackets, but they did a great job and repaired the garments like I wanted. Thanks for solving my problem. read more

Been here a few times (one to crop work pants and recently to crop jeans) and have always been greeted with a smile. Holly understands exactly what you want and delivers it flawlessly. Great location, interior is very clean and warm. Happy with everything I've gotten altered here, and I'm usually quite picky. read more

Very polite staff but far too expensive. I only wanted to taper the legs of my slacks (she said it would be very easy) and it was $45. I have had this done to each pair of slacks I have owned and never paid more than $20. I was shocked. Definitely a Buckhead price mark up. Sadly, I will not be returning. read more

I got my wedding dress altered at Buckhead alterations and they did an AMAZING job!! They are the sweetest ladies and made the entire process so awesome. My dress fits absolutely perfectly and they did everything to make sure that happened. They worked with me to make sure my dress was ready in time and did everything in such a timely manor. They also made my veil and did such a great job with it. They ordered satin that matched my dress and worked extra hard. They even ordered 2 options for me to pick from. This was the best alterations experience I have ever had and I would definitely recommend buckhead alterations for any alteration you need!! read more

I first started going to this place because it was close to my office, but now I take ALL my alterations there no matter what because these women never dissapoint. We've all experienced how jeans never look the same after you get them altered - but here they do! I've had several denim waistlines taken in and they always look great because the shop removes the whole waistband rather than adding in those extra, awkward looking darts on the seat of the pants. They will also put the original hem back on if you are having jeans shortened. Plus, they are even agreeable to next-day alterations for a small additional fee if you are stuck in an emergency situation. Overall, Buckhead Alterations can be a bit pricey, but it's definitely worth it for the quality! I've known several people to get wedding dresses altered here as well and have had equally positive experiences. read more

Have been several times. They always do good work. After my last visit I will not return. I was charged $50 to hem a pair of unlined pants. That's outrageous!!! I thought it was a mistake so I called the store to ask how much they charge. They said $18 and $20 something for wide leg. I went to the store with my $50 receipt and the pants. The guy I spoke to said "well you agreed to pay". I felt completely ripped off. I shared the story w my neighbors as we all use the same alteration place in buckhead. read more

We moved here from LA, so I am all about using Yelp to gauge who I am going to try. Almost everything I buy needs to be altered and Neiman's will alter for free for full retail, Banana Republic if you pay full retail and have their store card, and on down the line. Well, when I buy on sale - I am stuck. SO. I had 7 items - including jeans, a dress where one strap needed be shortened, a skirt to be rebuilt completely, and some standard shortening. On the positive side - everything was done PERFECTLY and ready early. On the negative side - Lose one star for: the dress strap cost $35!!!! I was expecting $5. It really was something I could have done with a hotel sewing kit. I didn't even pay $35 for the dress itself. Lose two stars for: one dress came back without the belt that was there when I took it in. I called immediately and they called me back twice saying to call them (phone tag 101 puts me in a bad mood). I finally went in WITH the dress, and voila, out came the belt on a hanger with no name, nothing. I needed the belt to try on the dress with - as it ties UP on the waist ... so not so happy that I had to drive in. read more

Holly did a fantastic job on my wedding gown. Everything was handled with ease -- despite some tough requests from me! Great service.

They're super nice and the alterations aren't that expensive. You have to pay in advance so be prepared for that! read more

I came to them with a fairly difficult alteration - a large hole smack dab in the middle of a Lilly Pulitzer dress (read: busy/intricate pattern that should have been impossible to patch without a swatch of the original fabric) - and I was pretty sure I'd get turned away. Instead, they removed a piece of fabric from the hem, positioned it so that it patched the gap in the pattern perfectly, and used different color threads around the perimeter to blend the patch into the pattern. When I went home to examine the work more closely, I had to flip the dress over several times just to find it. Yeah, it's like that. It took 1 week, cost 25 bucks, and I'm absolutely positive I'll be back. read more

I've been going here for a few years. Great friendly good quality service and work but honestly a bit expensive. I'm stuck going here because I know they will do a great job. read more

This place is awesome! I had my bridal gown altered here and it could have not fit any better. I literally had a guest at the wedding ask who I had "mk" my bridal gown because it was so perfectly fit that they literally assumed it was a custom made gown. Prices are pretty reasonable too! No joke, I can't imagine a better place to have a bridal gown altered, it was perfect! read more

Had two gowns (one was a wedding dress) altered here and they did a fabulous job. They are very pricey though so I would not bring everyday items that need a hem here or there to them, only special things like wedding dresses. read more

GREAT WORK. They even do jeans and maintain the bottom hem of the pant legs perfectly. Friendly, timely and affordable.

They did an awesome job replacing a zipper for me. It only took a few days, and they even stayed open later for me on a Saturday for pick up! read more

I was trying to find a place to alter my wedding dress and after reading all the reviews I decided to drive the two hours from my house to Atlanta to have them alter my dress. It was worth it!! They let out my dress on each side and added beadwork to match....you can't even tell it was altered! My dress was ready when I went back two weeks later like promised. They even added a button for my dress to be bustled while I was in Atlanta for the day. Highly recommend them!! Wish they were closer to me read more

On a recent trip, the airline severly damaged my luggage. Inside the luggage was a custom tailored suit that was torn in three places. Joseph and the reweavers at Buckhead Alterations and Reweaving repaired the suit to my complete satisfaction. Because of the skill of the reweavers my suit was rescued from the trash can. I would recommend this company without qualifications. read more

At the recommendation of Buckhead Bridals, we had my daughter's Wedding dress altered here and could not have been more pleased! Holly and her assistants were always so pleasant to work with and their customer service is incredible. Their attention to detail is incredible and the time and care they took with her dress seemed to go above and beyond anything I would have expected. To top it all off, the alterations were perfect and the dress fit my daughter beautifully. Very happy customers here and I highly recommend them! read more
