We've been going to Kim's for a few years now. Her quality is great, say what you want or show a picture and she delivers. We had these clothes altered by her and it made them look great! Her pricing is more than fair, and she can turn them around as quickly as you need or want. Give her a shot read more

HANDS DOWN THE BEST ALTERATION STORE OF ALL TIME. I got my prom dress altered here by myself for the first time and it was the best experience I've ever had. They are so helpful and kind and do an amazing job. I cannot recommend this place enough! It was honestly hard to leave because I was having such a good time. The quality of the alterations is next level while still being a great affordable price! This is the best experience I've ever had in my life! read more

Ms. Kim is efficient with such a fun personality. We dropped off 4 items. Two hems one for a prom dress and one for wide legged dressy pants, a shirt that I wanted that needed altered and a new zipper on a dress. It was ready in less than a week later. Considering that it's prom season we were amazed how quickly it was ready. Her shop was bustling with business, always a line out of the door. Everything looked and fit great. We will definitely be back! Thank you, Ms. Kim and son! You guys were a delight to do business with. I forgot to take pics of the after. Will probably add it on after my niece goes to prom. read more

Kim is great, I love her.... Talent, intelligence, humor, skill, honesty. She's a force of nature, and receives my highest recommendation. read more

She fixed my coat zipper, and I was impressed by how quickly she completed it--just a day! I'm looking forward to returning soon to have my pants altered. I can't wait to see if the price aligns with what I expect and if the quality of her service remains just as excellent. So far, she's done a fantastic job, and I'm excited to see what happens next!. Thank you read more

She does a great job on her work just make sure you check your clothes. She sewed in my pockets on my dress without notifying me of this change. I paid extra for my pockets on the dress only to have them sewed in. This was a once in a lifetime event and she said there was nothing she could do. I asked how about the extra 30 I paid for the pockets back since she closed them in she said sorry I can't do that. I was very upset. read more

I needed a zipper replaced on a Selkie dress, and it turned out perfectly after taking it to Kim's. The service was quick and my zipper issue was resolved with plenty of time before I needed the dress for an event! read more

Kim's Alterations - The dress that previously wouldn't zip now zips perfectly with no issues. - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

I only needed 2 pickets sewn up and a button and small tear sewn on 2 pair of shorts. Easy, right? Apparently not. I got 1 pocket sewn up, and the tear down, leaving a giant hole in one picket and no new button. To add insult to injury, she charged $20 cash, no receipt of course so there's no paper trail for the IRS, and was impolite both when I dropped them off and picked them up, which took her a week. I'd call it a failure all the way around. Go somewhere else with standards, business sense, standards and manners. read more

Charged $85.00 to make two jackets -and a dress smaller. The seams were a mess and instead of just seeming up the sleeves, glue was used and a section cut out of the back of one of the Jackets. The seams were a mess and the seams were not lined up. The dress sleeves under the arms were puckered. The seams down the sides had -the pockets sewn together. I had to rip this all out and take to another seamstress to redo all the items. I don't know what has happened to this place, they used to be good! read more

Have been using her for years. Does an excellent job and reasonably priced. Can't recommend highly enough.

I have a Perfect Dress (TM). It is super cute. It has POCKETS. It fit perfectly. Or...at least it did when I first got it. But regular wear and a little bit of weight loss made the bust area a bit too accommodating for what my body has to offer. After bemoaning my situation with some friends, Kim's Alterations was quickly recommended as a place to have this situation remedied. I stopped in on a Saturday morning with high hopes! It is quite an interesting operation....there were a lot of things hanging on a large looping rack, so it appears she may be quite popular! Another man walked in just before me and was trying to politely get someone's attention to come to the front of the shop, as she was somewhere in back. There was a gentleman asleep on a couch in front of a tv in a small alcove to the left of the main business area. And a small dog in a tiny sweater walking around. She came out eventually and took care of the gentleman who came in before me. Then came my turn. I told her why I was there, and she directed me to a room with a curtain in which to change into my dress to show her what was up. She saw it herself, and with a lil' tool gun of some kind, pulled and marked where the shoulders/straps needed to be shortened. She told me I could wait for it or come back, and it would cost $21 (honestly, about the same amount I paid for the dress to begin with...but I reiterate Perfect Dress TM). I figured why not wait, right? So in under 10 minutes, she performed the alteration, I paid, and was on my way again. The dress now fits without extra gaping or sagging and has become an even more Perfect Dress (TM). read more

Kim is the best. I am now a new loyal customer! I walked in on a Friday, requested alterations for a pair of pleather pants (which is scary because of how difficult those apparently can be to tailor) and she listened to me and had them ready by the following Tuesday. I was so pleased at how well they fit when I picked them up. Will not be going anywhere else for alterations read more

I needed a pair of pants taken in and let me tell you this is the place to go if you need alterations!! trust all these 5 star reviews because they're true!! could not recommend this place enough!! read more

This place is the best. I've been going to Kim's since it was at the corner of Hess and Preston. They always hem my pants while I wait. Usually in 5 or 10 minutes. read more

The only place to go for custom tailoring in Louisville!! Miss Kim does excellent work, quick turnaround, and prices are extremely fair and reasonable. I used to go to her back when she was at Top City and am so glad I found her again! read more

Kim was great. She's super sweet and does awesome work. I will recommend her to all my friends and family.

I came here with a small rip in my pants and she had it fixed so well I couldn't tell where the rip was! She was fast too, in and out in 5 minutes. So friendly and funny I've brought all my alterations to her specifically, she does an awesome job and is always fair and fast! read more
