West End Alterations

I had a pair of jeans that I needed to be hemmed. I took them there and the lady that worked there was very friendly and measured my jeans and asked me when I needed them by. They were able to keep the factory hem. I picked them up and I am very pleased with the hemming.

Quick and perfect! I had a sleeve repaired and it was done in less than 2 days. She only takes cash or checks, so make sure you come prepared.

I had a wonderful experience with West End Alterations. I frantically called them after realizing I forgot to get my pants hemmed 24 hours prior to an important business trip. Every other location was telling me it would be $ 60+ due to the rush, but West End Alterations saved the day! I dropped them off at 11 am, and they had them done by 4:30 pm the same day for only $ 20! She also did an excellent job with getting them to the proper length, despite not having dress shoes with me when she did her measurements. I would highly recommend West End Alterations!

Needed a bridesmaid dress hemmed, and this place got the job done. I brought the dress in about 2 weeks before I needed it and it was done on time. The hem was nicely done and even but cost me $ 50 which I thought was on the high end, but after looking around, that is the going rate for a dress with 2 layers.

I needed the straps from a lined wedding dress taken up and I needed them done in 3 days. Dropped them off here, and with no hesitation or haggling they were done quickly and beautifully for $ 30. High-​quality work.

After looking for a place for a while, I had a great experience at West End alterations. I got 4 items of clothing altered, and she did a great job on all 4. The best part was how clear she was about the price of each item BEFORE I agreed to pay. She went through each piece, gave me a price, and explained why she was charging that much. She even asked me multiple times if I was ok with a somewhat high price for a skirt I was getting altered. basically making sure I knew the price and it was ok with me. This is the opposite experience I have had at other places, who sometimes take advantage of the fact you didn’t ask the price beforehand. Note– you must have cash or check, but I would highly recommend coming here. Great customer service and I will be returning!

I cannot express how great the service and results have been for me over the years at West End Alterations. I wish there were more stars than just 5!

I wanted to wear a «cool» pair of skinny jeans (read: maybe they were a little too tight for me) on a trip to visit my sister and went to put them on when (cue the suspenseful music) the ZIPPER BROKE!!! oh nooooo! I could either run over to Urban Outfitters and pick up a new pair for $ 58 or head on down to West End Alterations to have the zipper replaced for $ 21.50. The price seemed a little bit steep to me (and I happened to have exactly $ 22 in my purse thank Jesus), but honestly, I’ve never had a zipper replaced before and she did a great job. The pants are still COOL and the new zipper looks really sturdy. I’ll be rockin’ these pants until I bust a seam.

Caution! They won’t cover your revisions, unless you pay extra.
My first experience went fine. This time, I took a suit here to be altered. I had the sleeves shortened ($ 20), Pants hemmed ($ 20), and waist adjusted ($ 35). All together it came to $ 80.25 with tax. I pre-​measured the pants before I took it there so I didn’t had to try on at the place. After I picked up the clothes, I found hemmed the pants with a 2 inch cuff (originally it was about 1 inch), it looked really bulky when I tried it on at home. So I took it back to have it revised and tried to explain to her about the pant cuffs, but she wanted to CHARGE me $ 12 extra! I even reminded her I’ve spent $ 80 for the original alterations. Her REASONING was that I didn’t specify when I took it in & the 2 inch cuff is the standard job, EVERYWHERE. (Basically, shift the blame on me)
Note: this is for something they put on, originally the cuffs were at 1 inch! I thought they would put the same finish like the way it came in.
If you come here, just make sure you’ll be happy w/​everything b/​c there’s no revisions, not even if you spent $ 80.
Personally, I’d taking my business somewhere else.

I recently got several things altered. A very sweet woman helped me and they did a wonderful job. Prices were great and they had everything ready and to my liking in less than a week!

I was nervous about walking in here, because well, the area/​parking lot is small and kinda sketchy. Luckily, I braved it. This place is top notch!
I was lucky enough to catch her early in the afternoon, because I needed a rush order on a bridesmaids dress that needed to be taken in within a couple hours! The owner was very nice and accommodating. She was quick and she did a beautiful job on such a short notice. I’m fairly certain she overcharged me, but for a rush order like that, with perfect stitching? Worth every penny!
I saw from other Unilocalers that this place is open on Saturdays, and that the pricing is definitely wtihin my range. If ever I need an alteration, she definitely has my business.

I came here about a year ago with a pair of jeans… no, THE pair of jeans. (my favorite and only pair that I like to wear). I skimmed through a bunch of tailors and decided to try this one. I had a hard time finding the store and when I did I was surprised to find that it was basically one tiny room with an Asian woman manning the entire thing. It felt like a sweatshop of sorts. Anyway, I went in the dressing room, put on my jeans and she measured where to hem them. I made her promise me like 10X that she wouldn’t mess up my favorite pair of jeans and she said she wouldn’t. Well, two days and $ 15 later, I came back and my jeans were perfect! You would never be able to guess that they were shortened. They are the perfect height on me and they look so much better now that I don’t have to roll them up. Now, I can easily find jeans that fit me, but are too long and just bring them here! Jean shopping is going to be so much easier. And its cheap to get done too!

Being close to official midget height, I am always looking for a trustworthy tailor, and so glad I found Tina. I was a bit nervous about paying up front (no credit cards FYI) before seeing the final result but she did a great job of replacing a broken zipper on my Rag & Bone dress pants and fixing a torn seam in a favorite H&M shirt. $ 32 for both items including a new zipper.
The Saturday morning hours are nice also, saves me from having to rush back to Nashville from work on a weekday.

I have been going to Tina for a number of years and have never been disappointed in her work. I have had everything altered from pants hemmed and tapered in the hips, dresses taken up, skirts remade, and jackets totally redone in addition to winter coats. I have been to other places where my clothes have been ruined by incompetent «tailors». Tina is a pro and I cannot recommend her highly enough. I feel her prices are very fair for the quality of work she does. I will not take my clothes anywhere else. I moved about 3 years ago and still bring my things to Tina because I trust her implicitly with my clothes. Keep in mind I have family here in Nashville and visit often. I just toss my things in a bag and drop them off when I am in town.

This place literally saved me and a bridesmaid’s dress I had to wear. I bought a dress that was a full size too big. It pretty much looked like I was wearing a navy blue bag with straps on it. They were able to fix it and the finished product looked pretty fantastic.
Cost: $ 71. Yes, that is expensive, but she really had to tear the dress apart. Be sure to bring cash or a check, they don’t take plastic.
A tip about the location: There’s a set of double doors next to the DQ, go up the stairs and to the left and you’ll find it.

Recently had a most excellent experience with West End Alterations. For starters, they’re open on Saturdays, and for some reason, I was having an incredibly difficult time finding a tailor who had hours that were amenable to my work schedule. I brought the woman who worked there (maybe the owner?) a pair of pants to take in and she did a beautiful job. Cost seemed reasonable ($ 20 for essentially four seams) and they were ready in one week. I’m sure she could have things ready sooner than that, but I wasn’t really in a rush. I will definitely return here for future alterations needs.
Took me a second to realize how to get to the store… I parked in the lot in front of the shopping center and entered a central set of doors. You then go up the set of stairs and follow the hallway around to the left to get to West End Alterations.

Before I came here, I called to ask to see how much it would cost to get my wool coat sleeves shortened. The lady said it wouldn’t be more than $ 30.
I called Stitch-​It in Green Hills before I called West End and they told me prices can range anyway between $ 30-​$ 60 for this alteration. $ 30 would be the most I would spend on this sort of alteration anyway.
I dropped off my coat and picked it up a week later. I was very satisfied with the results and the price, it cost me only $ 29. The sleeves look like it was never messed with! I will definitely be back to get more things altered.
This place doesn’t take credit cards so remember to bring your checkbook or cash. It is located on the top floor of the shopping complex.

I found some jeans at the store that looked simply fantastic on me but they were about a foot too long. Not wanting to waste a good pair of jeans, I bought them and headed over the West End Alterations. You have to finagle your way up a set a stairs and down a hallway but it’s worth it. The place is small but they really do a good job. I have had two different jeans hemmed there, and they have both come out just right. I can be an annoying customer when it comes to alterations due to my need to have my jeans almost drag on the floor (which they clearly discourage), nevertheless, my jeans have always come out exactly as I wanted them. It’s around $ 14 dollars to hem jeans, $ 16 and some change if you want to keep the original hem. This sounds pricey, but I have asked around and apparently that’s the going rate. If you need something altered, this is the place to get that done.

West End Alterations is a really convent and trustworthy place to go for alterations. Tina, the lady who runs it, is always professional and does a great job. I have had a couple pairs of pants altered there and she really did a great job. Alternatively, you could go to a place like Dry Clean USA for alterations, but it is just not the same experience as having a single tailor do the work. With expensive clothing, it is always important to have a trustworthy and reputable tailor modify your clothes. I have no complaints about Tina or the other people who work at West End Alterations, except that I thought it was a bit expensive. However, It’s not like I get clothing tailored all the time, so I don’t have much to compare them to.
