I'm sure many of us have that pile of clothes that you are meaning to mend - this is the place you take them!! I have taking Only One Tailoring both hemming and mending and all experiences have been great. The prices are reasonable, the timelines are clearly communicated, and there are reminders to get your things. When you pick them up, you get an opportunity to try on everything first to make sure everything is correct! I will continue to take them all my mending! read more

DO NOT GO HERE!! The sloppiest, laziest stitching I have ever seen made on a pair of pants. Can't trust these people with a basic hem job.

Great seamstress with great prices! The appointments are quick and efficient so you aren't wasting your time waiting for prolonged periods. She hemmed my wedding dress perfectly and the bustle was beautiful! We'll definitely go to her again for other tailoring needs read more

Very quick in and out. Text and email when it's ready. There are a couple parking spots outside which is great for a crowded area with limited parking. read more

Came in, was told to get changed and that they'd be right with me after they finished with another customer. Changed, waited for AN HOUR and was never helped. The person walked back in a couple times, looked at me, and walked back out. Very frustrating to take a morning off of work for an alteration I need. I wish they would've just told me to leave. Anyone have recommendations on a good place to get alterations in Nashville? read more

We've used Only One Tailoring for alterations for years. Their work is fantastic, and their work is fast (with generally-reasonable planning ahead, I've never had to use their express options). They're also all really nice and easy to work with. read more

Only one tailoring did an amazing job on my wedding dress! They were flexible with my work schedule by having later appointments l, and even added a last minute appointment to double check the fit. One negative, they double taxed me. They include tax on the total cost. Then when I went to pay with my card it charged me tax again. They were great about making the adjustment once I pointed it out. I know I'm not the only one this has happen to so double check your recipes! read more

With my sister's wedding a bit over a month away, I was in an alteration bind, with my dress just not fitting quite right. There's hundreds of tailor shops in Nashville, which can be quite daunting when picking and choosing where to get some adjustments done. After finding raving reviews online for this particular shop I sent them a message. They answered promptly and invited me to come in! I was so relieved with such a quick turnover rate, and they made me feel very welcome despite their large haul of work to do and my dress situation. While most places can take dresses in, I needed my dress taken out a bit, with the back just not zipping all the way. They quickly gave me options and included my opinion throughout the whole process. They assured me they could make adjustments to make it look just right, and I was very pleased! The price seems quite reasonable, they give you a deposit to put down, and give you a max that they will charge. I will update my review when I get it back! read more

Only One Tailoring - Shop - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Perfect job on hemming a bridesmaid dress. Cost was just over $100 for three skirt layers and a tip. My dress was ready about a week and a half after I dropped it off, much quicker than estimates I had seen from other shops. read more

My fiancee and I brought in her wedding dress for a moderate alteration, and my brand new suit for alterations as well. Before bringing in our garments, we went over an estimated cost for what needed to be done over the phone. Shortly after we dropped off the clothes, I took a quick look at our receipt and discovered items I was wanting to have done [open the pockets of my coat, as well as making the sleeve buttons functional] missing from the to do list. Long story short, after talking to the owners [Katie-sp? and Aaron] not only were the missing requests tended to, they came at no extra cost! I now have an off-rack suit that looks bespoke, and my fiancee's dress was tailored perfectly as well. Only One Tailoring is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, and going forward we now have a place where we will bring all of our items that need tailoring. Thank you thank you thank you!! read more

I had a very expensive Saint Laurent dress and this is the only place I felt I could trust. They took in my shoulders and the waist and did an amazing job. After trying it on again they even went back in to adjust the neckline to make it all look cohesive. The seamstress was there to fit me and she really knew what she was doing. I'll definitely be taking all my expensive pieces there. read more

I'm short. I'm stout. I'm not a teapot, but definitely not a shape that matches what comes off rack. So all my pants have to be altered so I don't have to roll my jeans ten times. I've been to multiple tailors and alteration shops in Nashville only to end up with jeans that are still too long, too short, have weird seems, etc. only one is the first Place I've found that produces an end result that looks just like it did on the rack, just a couple (okay a few) inches shorter than it was originally. This is a service where the saying "you get what you pay for" applies 100%. They me be a little higher than some other places in town (it's negligible really), but I'll gladly pay a couple dollars more to know that the job will be done right. Highly recommended! read more

They provided quick and quality alterations of a bridesmaid dress. I needed it taken in, and it was finished earlier than scheduled!

I have been going to Only One Tailoring since I first moved to Nashville in 2016. I had always been happy with their work, but over the years the prices have creeped up drastically and it was already a little higher than other options around town. To replace a zipper I was quoted $35 and to add a single stitch maybe 2 stitches to keep a blouse from coming open was $30 or $40, I was quoted $5 elsewhere and they offered to stitch the entire area shut. Other than the price the work and timeliness has always been great, until my last visit. I dropped a bridesmaid dress off on June 10 and said I needed it by July 8th. I was told it would be ready July 3rd by 2pm, but with a strong possibility of being earlier (both day and time). On July 3rd around 12:20 I got a text that my dress not only hadn't been started but they wanted me to wait until Tuesday July 6th to pick it up. At this time I had already filled my schedule with task and appointments to be completed before I left for this wedding. They did end up getting the dress finished, but it caused me a lot of stress when I had for nearly a month expected my dress to be ready on time. I also presented a coupon that they sent me. I was told at drop off they would honor it when I picked it up, but it couldn't be applied towards the deposit. When I went to use it during pick up, they said they won't honor the coupon because their coupon codes had changed. Overall, it was a very stressful and irritating experience. I don't think I'll return. read more

Absolute shit service -- go literally any where else. The front lady started taking the pins out of my dress THAT I PUT IN THE DRESS BEFORE COMING after I said that I couldn't do the date she said the dress would be done by (almost 3 weeks from now for a SLIT) and that I would need to pay a 50% premium for "rush" tailoring. Most tailors can easily have something simple like that done in a few days. Woman before me didn't like the way THREE of her pants were tailored if that's any indication of quality and I should have left then. read more

Only One Tailoring is a hidden 8th Ave gem. I've been in Nash for a couple years now and haven't found a decently priced and reliable seamstress, until now. I would absolutely recommend them if you're looking for alterations or a seamstress. They were also extremely helpful and communicative while getting fitted for the alterations. read more

They did a wonderful job and especially for the price. I will be using this business for all future alterations needs.

Had a great experience here! They really take into account what you have to say and walk you through all the options with your alterations. They were upfront with the costs and were not pushy at all. I took my wedding dress here and it had to have a lot of "little" adjustments and many appointments to get it just right. They were super patient with me and my indecisiveness and doubts. They truly just wanted to make sure I was happy, especially in the dress. Aaron is amazing at what he does and has a way of easing any fear you might of had before. Rashida, who altered my dress, gave me a huge hug before I took my dress home and made me choke up a little. Everyone here is very kind and understanding. They also get things done in a timely manner! read more

This review is LONG overdue... Aaron and his team are amazing!!! I won't take my alterations anywhere else --they have me as a lifelong client. Aaron is not only a great human being, who puts his heart and soul into his work and business, but he REALLY knows what he's doing! Although they may be a bit pricier than other tailoring shops, it's worth it! He knows what he is doing and gives you pricing, quotes, and explains in detail any suggestions he/his team has. We all know bridesmaid dresses can be a bit unflattering, on basically the majority of people who have to wear them (ha!!), but each time I bring one in they won't let me leave until it fits perfectly! I cannot say enough good things about this shop. If you've had bad experiences elsewhere... give Only One Tailoring a shot, because you will not be disappointed!! read more

Good service, quick turnaround. They also have a chic space that is kind of in a random location though. My husband has gotten a few pairs of selvedge jeans done here. I asked for a quote to have a Burberry jacket redone and it was hundreds! Needless to say I didn't go through with it. I was stunned. Overall: would go back. read more

I had a jacket of my nana's that I wanted to be able to wear, but it was so ill-fitting, I knew I had to take it to a good tailor for alterations so the alterations would be done well (especially given that it's a piece of clothing that I have a lot of personal/sentimental attachment to!). I found Only One Tailoring on Yelp and decided to give it a chance due to the excellent reviews! I stopped by with the jacket and a pair of jeans that just needed to be taken up an inch or so (I'm a short girl who always needs jeans altered). The measuring/pinning just took a couple of minutes, and the alterations (which were significant for the jacket) took about 2 weeks. Totally worth it. The jacket fits like it was meant for me! Only One Tailoring isn't cheap - but you get what you pay for, right? Only One Tailoring does good work - based on my experience, I think you can trust them with your favorites! I'll be back with that next pair of jeans that are too long! read more

I took my mother of the son dress in to be hemmed and the straps adjusted. My husband also took his pants in for hemming. We were very pleased with their work and the efficiency of their business. Will use them again for alterations. read more

I came here to have my wedding dress tailored, and they couldn't have done a better job. I was having major dress regret after I tried my dress on the first time after I bought it, but at the final fitting the dress fit me like a glove and looked perfect, and I fell in love with it again! They took it in in the bust (which was difficult due to the position of the delicate lace detailing) hemmed it, created a bustle, sewed in cups and adjusted the delicate straps. It looked perfect!! I also brought in my dress barely a month before the actual wedding (oops), and they still got everything done in time, including multiple fittings. Everyone there was very courteous, friendly, and accommodating. Highly recommend! read more

They were able to take my suit and open it up about 3 inches (from all the weight i gained over the years) at the waist. Then, they shortened my sleeves to give it a more modern look. No upselling at all. They just recommended whatever suited my immediate needs. My suit feels like new again. Before I came in, I couldnt even clip it at the waist it was so tight. Now, its a perfect fit. They sell custom suits. After seeing their work, i am going to try purchasing one of their suits when i get some extra cash. Based on how they did my suit, i can only imagine how nice the custom suit would fit. read more

They did a wonderful job significantly taking in my bridesmaid dress in less than two weeks. Everyone I dealt with was friendly and professional. This is my new go-to spot for sure. read more

I had a bridesmaids dress altered for me for a Jamaican wedding a few years ago and they did a great job. I'm bottom heavy with a small waist so they basically had to take my size 12 (or 10) bridesmaids gown in to a 6. They were able to hem it, and fit the bust better to me. I wish I had added cups (can't remember if they were suggested to me or not), because that Jamaican sun was hot and I got sweaty. Still a wonderful dress to dance in all night. I'm bringing my all over lace wedding dress in in a few weeks to get altered, and I am super nervous because it needs that same sort if resizing as the bridesmaids dress from 2 years ago, but this is the most important dress of my life, haha. I trust the folks at Only One Tailoring will take care of me and I will update my review when they are done with my wedding gown. read more

Only One is the only tailor in Nashville that I recommend. The owner is a 4th generation tailor who also runs a bespoke custom suit line. He is very friendly and takes time to explain the alteration process. His wife also works in the shop and they have a number of young, talented tailors assisting them. Their work is impeccable and they are very reasonable with their pricing. I brought my wedding dress in and Adriana worked so patiently to hand hem the elaborately beaded dress. She also put in a beautiful bustle that stayed put throughout an entire day of running around San Francisco. This was no easy hem job and I felt at ease knowing my dress was with true professionals. Only One is THE place to take your wedding dress, suits, and daily wear for alterations. read more

WIZARDS! I am so thankful to Only One Tailoring! As everyone knows, bridesmaids dresses were designed by the Devil himself, and the lovely team at Only One were able to work some serious magic for me this week on a particularly annoying bridesmaid dress. Thank you so much to Aaron and his team!! read more

Professional and efficient! They did an excellent job on a bridesmaids dress I brought in and for a fair price. Highly recommend!

Quite possibly the nicest and most talented staff in town! They are always so quick and nice when I have a tailor need. Also reasonably priced! They are my go to for just about anything. read more

This place and the people are absolutely amazing. The work they did on my wedding dress was incredible--they had ways to fix any issues or concerns I had with my dress and have made it exactly like I imagined. I can't say enough good things about them. Organized, professional, and excellent customer service. read more

I've been going here on and off for a while. When I first began visiting Only One, Aaron did a great job with my clothes. I never had an issue. However once other tailors started working on my clothes, I never knew whether my garments would be correctly altered. Sometimes they were. Other times there were serious issues. Usually the issues could be fixed, but that took an extra trip and wait time. The worst instance was when one of the tailors incorrectly tailored a jacket I brought in. Aaron fixed it. But due to the material, there are now permanent stitching holes from the botched original job. The last time I went the tailor who worked with me practically ignored me and my requests. If I hadn't been triple checking what they were doing, I would have once again had to bring my clothes back to fix their mistake. In my experience, Aaron does a wonderful job. If I knew he'd be working with me, I'd have no reservations about giving Only One five stars. But due to problems I've had in the past, I'll be looking elsewhere in Nashville. read more

Perfection from start to finish! New to Nashville, I needed a jacket tailored and had no idea about where to go. All the usual things were important to me. I wanted it to look great. I wanted someone who was friendly and easy to communicate with. I wanted a fairly quick turnaround. Finally, I wanted all that stuff and without getting stuck paying an arm and a leg. Aaron, the owner, was very friendly, and it was clear he knew his stuff. Got my jacket back in a few days. Incredible fit, and he actually charged me less than quoted because it was easier to do than he originally thought. I have found my tailor in Nashville. read more

I came in to the shop to get inexpensive suit tailored quickly. Ended up just needing the sleeves taken up. Service: First class. Sole proprietor took 20+ minutes out of his day to do examine the fit and address concerns. Talked me out of unnecessary work and turned it around in only 4 days so I could wear it to an event. Genuine, nice, knowledgeable folks. Quality: Excellent. Clear that the proprietor takes pride in his work. No need to get any secondary alterations done. Also took a pea coat to have buttons sewn back on, again excellent work. Price: Higher than anticipated. Due diligence online gave an average of $25-30 to have sleeves taken up (nonfunctional sleeve buttons). Ended up being quite a bit more. Partially my fault for not getting quoted. In summary, I'd strongly recommend. Came in unsure of what I needed, left informed and comfortable that we'd made the right decisions. Feel free to message me any questions. read more

**Editing my review because based on the effort the owner put forth after seeing my review, I can tell that my experience is not the norm. They were very quick to apologize over both yelp and a personal phone call. This shows their professionalism and how much they do care about their customers. In the future I do plan to try using them again if I need alterations, as they did their best to truly show that they were sorry and I appreciate their effort.** I picked this business because of the great reviews but I wish I would of gone somewhere else. I was already feeling nervous as I have never gotten alterations before but unfortunately I didn't feel any better after my alteration appointment. I waited to write a review until after I got the dress back and while they did good work, the people I dealt with while I was there were not personable. I wasn't given guidance as to what they thought needed to be done on my bridesmaid dress so I just asked for the basic hem, to get my dress taken in a little, and for one of the loops to be reinforced in case it broke day of the wedding. As i was asking for these I felt as though the requests were a bother to the lady helping me. I didn't feel welcome and just felt more awkward my entire appointment. I unfortunately don't remember the name of the alteration consultant who helped me, but it might not be the place to go if you aren't sure what exactly you need walking into the appointment. read more

These guys are fantastic. I reached about to them about a month ago regarding a broken zipper on one of my dresses. I'd already taken the dress to another shop in town, where the seamstress told me that she couldn't fix the dress without ordering a new zipper that they didn't carry. She said that it'd take a few weeks and warned me that the repair would be expensive. It didn't make much sense to me, so I emailed Only One for a second opinion. Adam responded promptly and suggested that I bring the dress in. The staff greeted me immediately when I walked in and promptly examined my dress. They told me that they could probably repair the zipper without replacing it and that if that was the case, my repair would only cost about $10. I told them that I had thought the zipper would need to be replaced, and I was pleasantly surprised to hear that it may not be necessary. They could have easily just offered to replace the zipper, which would have cost at least twice as much. To Only One: Thank you for treating me with honesty and integrity, even though my repair was so small and inexpensive. You could have taken advantage of my lack of knowledge, and I wouldn't have known the difference. I won't take my clothes anywhere else for alterations moving forward, and I've already recommended you to several people. read more

Awesome awesome awesome! I came in to get my wedding dress altered, and they did a fantastic job. The whole experience went smoothly, and left me with the warm and fuzzies. Aaron and his wife were the nicest people, and both times I was in the shop gave me the utmost confidence that my wedding dress was in good hands. At the time they were super busy, so the alterations did take a little longer than I expected, but Aaron was spot on on his estimation for the completion of my dress. They finished when they said they would, and I was happy with that. I definitely recommend Only One Tailoring. They were super friendly, professional, and good at what they do. My dress looked great! read more

I never write reviews... but the gentleman who assisted me on Saturday 12/6/21 was so professional and kind... I had to make mention of this business. I came in for a dress alteration. He was able to alter my dress and return it at the time promised! THIS WAS HUGE FOR ME!!! This is the only business I will go to get my clothes altered. Thank you again Only One Tailoring for your attention to detail and providing GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! read more
