He did a great job with a quick turn around. Very professional and alterations are fantastic and well priced.

Great service! Needed fast turnaround and it was no problem for her. Dress came back perfect!!!

It took several weeks just to hem a pair of slacks and shorten coat sleeves 1/4 inch. When I got the suit back for a wedding I was attending, the suit was all wrinkled. It had never been worn & still had the tags on it. Almost $80 for something you'd think would take 10 minutes and then I had to rush to a dry cleaners to have it pressed in time for the wedding! Nice enough people but poor service and result so won't be returning. read more

I can't thank Hems and Such enough. I had my wedding dress hemmed here. Quality service, excellent work, and a great family business. I recommend them highly! read more

I live in Texas, but my daughter attends the University of Kentucky. She needed a dress altered (reinforcement of a seam and letting out of the waist/back) and I reached out to Hems and Such via Yelp. They responded quickly, asked for details on my needs and confirmed they could do the work. The work was done on time and quickly. My daughter is very pleased with the work and I am a very pleased momma! I definitely recommend for any alteration needs you may have! read more

They did an excellent job on my daughter's prom dress. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

I brought in a dress to have the straps shortened. It took about a week and a half. The gentleman working was professional and nice. It was a little more expensive than I expected ($22 for 3 straps) but it was good work. I don't get things hemmed or altered often but when I do I'll come here. read more

I definitely recommend Harry at Hems & Such for any alteration or tailoring work. His work is high quality and he always has everything ready when promised. I go out of my way to take any garments I have to him. Definitely worth it. read more

They were able to help me with dress alterations when I needed a quick turnaround time. They were very nice and helpful, and they did a very nice job taking up a dress with lots of pleated detail. The price was very reasonable, and I was very happy with the work. Highly recommend! read more

Very quick and easy. Best service and provided a lot of knowledge regarding the best way to hem!

My mother has been coming here since the 90s so naturally I started coming here as well. The attention to detail is amazing! I've had 5 formal gowns altered here and I've never been disappointed. I brought in a dress with a rather complicated skirt. There were multiple layers that required different kinds of stitching. Harry informed me that he had never seen anything like it and that it would take a few fittings. I really appreciated his honesty and the effort he was willing to put into it. It was perfect by the time he was finished with it. I have also procrastinated in bringing some pieces in causing a little time crunch, but Harry has always gladly accepted it never failing to do a great job. I wouldn't trust anyone else in Lexington to be my tailor. read more

If I could leave zero I would! My daughter drove 45 minutes to meet with this gentleman about her wedding dress. After putting on her dress he told her that it was made for someone with a different body type and didn't look right! She changed quickly and went out to her car in tears!!! Learn some manners! You don't get to decide the style of dress and no one asked for your opinion! A bride shouldn't be in tears after simply trying to get her dress altered very little!!!!!!!! read more

I needed to have a couple pairs of pants hemmed and found Hems And Such via local Google search. I called prior to bringing my pants by and found them to be nice and affordable so I thought I would give them a try. When I arrived I found the place to quaint and busy. I had to wait just a little bit but was greeted with a smile and was handled promptly after the previous customer. After trying on the pants they were pinned and marked and ready to be hemmed. Within a few days my pants were ready and again I was greeted with a smile and prompt service. I tried the pants on and they were exactly what I asked, I was very pleased. I will be using Hems and Such again and would recommend them. If you decide to use them too say "hello" to Harry for me. read more

I've had two items altered at Hems and Such. I was pleased with both garments. With the first garment, I wish he had suggested some other alterations that needed to be done. On the whole, they do good work. read more

I recently purchased an item of clothing at a retail shop that needed alterations, and the sales clerk recommended that I go and see Harry at Hems and Such. I had also just purchased two pairs of jeans that were a bit too long for me, so I took them along. Harry greeted me with a smile and promptly took the necessary measurements. I needed the jacket by a deadline, and Harry worked diligently to accommodate my request. When I returned to the shop to pick up my items, they were all hemmed perfectly, and the jacket was pressed. I was extremely pleased with the service I received and with the excellent job Harry did and with his pleasant professional manner. I will go back to Hems and Such for all of my tailoring needs now, and I strongly recommend this business to anyone else who finds themselves in need of alteration services. read more

This place is great! Extremely quick turnaround (I waited until the last minute and he was able to fit me in, no problem). Very reasonable price, and great work on the pants I needed hemmed. Highly recommended! I will take all my stuff there from now on. read more

I don't normally leave reviews, but i wish i would've known this beforehand, so here it is: I got great service, satisfied with my product, but they charged me $70 to hem a simple bridesmaids dress. That seems very high to me, but use your own judgment. Nice people, still. read more

I bought a suit and the slacks were too long and the sleeves were too long. On Monday morning I asked if it was anyway possible as I had a plane to catch on Thursday morning if I could possibly have the alterations by close of business on Wednesday. Not only were they finished expertly but early! This man is a "miracle worker"! I cannot recommend him more highly! He is a true expert at what he does! read more

I had several pairs of pants shortened and a dress taken in. Everything fit well afterwards, and I found the employees to be knowledgeable and polite. I didn't spend time comparison shopping, but I thought the prices were reasonable and the turn-around time was fairly short. I would recommend them to a friend. read more
