    Absolutely amazing! One of the few tailors who would actually give me a quote based on a picture I sent and didn't tell me to make an appointment to get a quote. Not only that, but she honored that quote! I had mt dress hemmed, taken in on the sides, and some of the lining underneath was sticking out, so she fixed that as well. My dress was beautiful and for exactly how I wanted. Highly recommend!!

    Jenny did an incredible job tailoring my wedding dress!! It was absolutely perfect! And on top of that, she is so sweet and kind, and I highly recommend her business!

    Jenny was awesome to work with! She tailored my wedding dress and it fit perfectly the day of! I could tell she really cared about me and my dress and wanted to make sure I felt my best on the special day. I would definitely go back to her for any other tailoring needs.

    Jenny was amazing with my wedding dress. My dress was all lace and super delicate and she made it fit perfect. Great customer service and timely.

    The dress is inches off the floor. With the same heels I had on prior to the fitting.

    I did not have a good experience with Jenny. For instance, she charged too much. I accepted that though because it was my wedding dress. But after my first fitting, I noticed that she made my dress way too short. And she asked me if I had changed the heels that I was wearing, when in fact I had left the heels there with her. So no, I did not. Then at my third fitting I noticed some thread out of my dress; I'm not sure if it was her tools that did that or maybe her dog. She had huge big dogs at her house that I think were around her work. And when I asked her about the thread she said, and I quote "why didn't you mention that last time?" So yea, very unprofessional and kind of talks in a condescending way. She did end up fixing the length, and ironed the thread down to hide in my dress, but I did not like how she spoke and did not like my experience.

    Oh Jenny is it. She's incredible. I found her on Yelp after having moved to Nashville from the state where I bought my wedding dress and had no one in Nashville to recommend someone to do alterations. Well, let me tell you... that was the most providential Yelp find ever. Don't take my word for how fabulous her alterations were, just ask the place where I bought my dress in NC! They made a point to ask who did the alterations (specifically the bustle) because Jenny did such a great job! Additionally, she's just a cool and laid back lady. Nashville is fortunate to have her talents.

    The most amazing alteration!

    Believe the hype! Jenny is incredible! Not only is she kind and patient, she absolutely understood my vision for a big alteration and made the process so easy! I can't wait to work with her again! In addition to alterations, she also creates custom looks so you can bring any idea big or small to her! Thanks, Jenny!!

    This is before Jenny tailored it. The chest area was too big & the straps were too long. The length was obviously too much!

    Jenny was so kind. She tailored and hemmed a bridesmaids dress for me. It was a complicated piece with many layers & she had to adjust the straps as well as take in the sides of the dress. She hemmed the 4 layers beautifully & the dress fit me perfectly when she was finished!! It only took her one week to get it back to me, which was great because I was in a hurry for the wedding! She is flexible & great at communicating. A little pricey but her work is amazing.

    Jessica is very personable and professional. I didn't end up pursuing work with her quote but…read morewanted to sing her praises about the quote process. I will keep her in mind for future projects. Clearly she's running a great business because she's booked out for several months, so my advice is to ask for your quote at least 6 months in advance of when you need the item. Jessica is very transparent about pricing and timelines. User-friendly software clearly displays the total line-by-line, and the total aligns well with other similar quotes I received. Jessica charges fitting fees to compensate for her time so that you can cross alterations asks off your list and bring down your total if you're happy with initial or minor changes. She is budget-conscious and wants to give you the best result for the lowest price. Jessica has a philosophy that she doesn't make decisions about your alterations but rather equips you with information for you to decide what aligns with your priorities. Jessica seems conscious and supportive of all body types and levels of modesty, for example when she explained options for potential bust cup alterations. Jessica helped me understand the alterations industry more broadly, including common pitfalls and bustle types. She gave business-related tips like getting quotes in writing and understanding fitting fees/guarantees for exclusive work prior to going to a business. Her personal choice is to vet clients over the phone first to ensure a good fit prior to bringing your garment to her. Others may have you in for a fitting before quoting or exchange just over email. I learned so much from her over one phone call and loved her genuine communication style. I initially got her name from a local seamstress based on the type of garment I had. I'm not surprised Jessica has a great local reputation among peers in the Nashville area!

    She did a great job at a reasonable price. She explained the process well,was very transparent and…read morecommunicated well (i lost weight and needed my slacks altered, other tailors quote a price, but once i got there the price was for the waist, but did not include inseam, hem, etc...) she was very pleasant, punctual and i will be taking all my future alterations to her.

    This place was amazing! Tina was fantastic and did a quick turnaround for us! 100% recommend to…read moreeveryone in the local area! Truly a great spot!

    Pretty disappointed with this experience…read more I dropped several items off to be cleaned on 1/3. During drop off, I went through any defects of my items with the employee at the counter. There was only item I dropped off that was damaged and it was a cashmere sweater with a snagged hem that I've been meaning to get repaired. The employee said she made a note of this in their system. Upon pick up on 1/6, the employee at the counter informed me that there was a stain on an expensive Burberry dress that I dropped off that they could not get out. I explained to the employee that this stain was not there when I dropped my items off and I was upset about this damage. She told me that she could would have the owners reach out to me, but I still have not heard anything from anyone regarding this issue. The stain on the dress is on the front breast pocket. It appears as if the garment was caught in something and then tugged out which left black scrapes/streaks. This dress was a milestone gift from my husband and retails for more than my rent which makes the damage done to it that much worse. I'm really saddened by this experience and hope the owners eventually reach back out to me for a resolution. I was excited to switch to Lapel's because of their eco-friendly dry cleaning method, but now I'm feeling like it is not worth the extra hassle if my garments will not be treated with care. There may be other locations to this business that are good, but I'm unsure if I would return to this one. Update; I was contacted by the owner and they were successfully able to remove the stain from my dress. When coordinating how to handle the situation, I got the impression that it was being implied that *I* was actually responsible for the stain which was very far from the truth. I received a text message from the owner later on saying they found the source of the stain within their business and that was why they were able to treat it appropriately. I love that my dress is in good condition again, but I dislike a little of the attitude that came with getting the situation resolved. I read through the reviews on Google and here and it seems like this business has a track record of providing subpar service but quickly being able to adjust and fix their errors. This would be a boon if it didn't come with a side of slight finger pointing at the customer first. Meh.
