Grace Tailor Shop

We have been using Grace Tailor shop for years with predictable results so we decided to use her for my daughters wedding dress. HUGE mistake.
We took the dress in June to show her the dress and what needed to be done and see if she could do it. She said it would be a lot of work but she could. She asked to have the dress 4 weeks before the wedding. By the end of the second week of her having the dress she hadn’t even started the dress which was only the hem that needed to be done. It was a bit complicated with ruffles and extra under skirting granted however she choose the time frame to work on it. She started the dress 7 days before the wedding. The first fitting 5 days before the wedding and we insisted to have it done by the next day. The dress still required some work but we took it to another seamstress to finish and put a bustle in. This tailor didn’t listen to what length the bride wanted the dress, said a bustle couldn’t be put in, was so bent on being right that she ignored what the customer wanted. Totally unprofessional, took way to much time to do the job, left no time for anything additional that may have needed to be done. She should have said in the beginning she didn’t have time or didn’t want to do it. Will NEVER go there again. VERY, VERY DISAPPOINTED. ZERO STARS

I had to give this one star because Unilocal requires it. However, if possible I wouldn’t even give this woman a star!
She may be great with boy scout patches, and whatever a Dallas Maverick needs, but if you need to have a wedding dress … not even altered… just hemmed DO NOT COUNT ON HER.
The dress originally was taken to her three months before the wedding date, and said to bring it back a month before the wedding. She promised to have it ready for a fitting 18 days later, at which time she hadn’t even touched the dress and then waited another five days to start on it. She wound up having to cram the hemming into a weekend, which left the dress is a less than expected state of the bride stepping on the front of the dress when she walked, which was a direct result of her rushing the job and not easing the front through the sides properly. When she was asked about putting in a bustle she stated «too much work, it can’t be done». She offer no suggestions as to how a bustle could be accommodated, just «it can’t be done.»
Not only was she rude, argumentative and unprofessional. She did not listen to the customer and did not do a proper job. She had the bride in tears five days before her wedding.
After paying a LOT for this unsatisfactory job, the dress had to be taken elsewhere to have the bustle put in and the hem properly eased so the bride wouldn’t be tripping on it on her walk down the isle.
This lady’s mantra is «too much work, can’t be done» …
The very sad part of this is my family has dealt with her for over ten years and never had a problem, but when she was needed for something as special as a wedding she fell so short, words can’t even describe. It would have been far better for her to say «too much work» when it was taken to her three months before the wedding so other arrangements could have been made and caused a lot less stress and emotional upheaval at a time that should be the most joyous of a girls life.

I have been going to Grace Tailor for almost 15 years now. She used to sew the patches onto my sons’ Boy Scouts uniforms, then Karate uniforms and then came prom dresses, suits, etc. She has replaced the lining in expensive leather coats and taken my suit pants and skirts down a size or two. Every time — awesome work, no evidence that it has been altered — extremely professional outcomes.

This is a great local tailor located in the NW corner of Rosemeade and Marsh. Prices are reasonable and service is fast. I took 6 pants and 4 jackets there and they were done in a week. Everything fit perfectly.

great service, and the price is reasonable for quality work. Fully recommended.

So I don’t often have celebrity sightings and you probably wouldn’t expect one randomly outside of a tailor shop in Carrollton. But there we were, me and my friend driving in to the shopping center and we see Derek Harper. Not sure how tall he is but tall enough to stand out, and as one of probably the top three Dallas Mavericks of the 80’s and 90’s, he was definitely a high level celebrity for us.
After a little investigative work, or really just asking a question. It seems as though he used to live near by and that is the tailor shop he goes to and it sounds like he has moved somewhere else but still goes to the Grace Tailor Shop.
I don’t take many things to the tailor, maybe I am too low maintenance but hey if the place is good enough for a former Mavericks star and current Mavericks announcer, it is good enough for me. Now I am having a big desire to try to find a mavs t-​shirt with the old logo of the ‘M’ wearing a cowboy hat. Go Mavs!

Best tailor shop around. Recommended by a friend, i have been really impressed with their work and price whether it is slacks, jeans, or more complicated stuff. A good, reliable tailor can be a godsend and Grace Tailor fits the bill.
