I am currently touring in a musical with the Legend Jennifer Holliday and a suit I use in this show fit like a bag due to a large amount of weight loss .... Gizzelle and her staff were very patient with me and made me very pleased with the outcome. The suit fit like a glove. Please consider using them for your special event or occasion... You won't regret it .... read more

Gizzelle was AMAZING! Was sent a non-returnable bridesmaid dress and took to GJC with a plea of help. She was able to totally redesign the top to fit my larger chest which made me so much more comfortable at the wedding. Attaching a before and after! Would absolutely recommend for any request! read more

My wife got her wedding dress alterations done at Gizzelle James Couturiere. Gizzelle James did a fantastic job. The pictures speak for themselves. They really gave my wife curves and accentuated her hourglass shape. Our wedding planner, Jordan Xu of Emily Jordan Events (who I highly recommend: https://www.yelp.com/biz/emily-jordan-events-atlanta), recommended Gizzelle James to my wife based on where we live. My wife didn't want to drive "too far" (e.g., Sandy Springs) for all of her dress fitting appointments. Gizzelle James is located in Midtown, directly above longtime restaurant Babs and two doors down from 26 Thai Kitchen & Bar's Midtown location. Gizzelle James' storefront faces Juniper St NE. The house/building is adjacent to a surface lot which you have to pay to park in. If you're familiar with Babs, it's the same parking lot. One of the best things about Gizzelle James is they kept my wife's wedding dress safe for *over two years.* The reason why they kept it for over two years is because our wedding was delayed for two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. My wife said Gizzelle James was excellent. Gizzelle was present at every appointment. Daniel, who I met when we went to pick up the dress, worked the front of the house. There were also seamstresses who worked behind the scenes on-site. Everyone was nice and did a great job. I also have to mention Missy Couture, Gizzelle's dog, who spends time in a purse on a table by the front desk. During one of my wife's appointments, Missy came into the fitting room to say hi and later returned to sit in my wife's lap: https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/gizzelle-james-couturiere-atlanta?select=9jmqeQKwBIqoS3IVDJsE0Q. My wife made multiple payments to Gizzelle James. The first was a deposit and so the shop could hold onto the dress. The following payments were for alterations. In the end, the payments exceeded $1,000. My wife's body changed a lot in two years so I believe more alterations (extra cost) needed to be done than what "normally" would have been the case had the pandemic not happened. If you're looking for a terrific wedding dress alterations shop in Atlanta, my wife and I highly recommend Gizzelle James Couturiere. If you're curious about my wife's dress and where she got it from, see my Yelp review for Sweet Elegance Bridal in Decatur: https://www.yelp.com/biz/sweet-elegance-bridal-decatur?hrid=_NwlzxaynkwRITR49y8Yjg&utm_campaign=www_review_share_popup&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=(direct). read more

When I say Gizzelle and her team are the best, they are hands down truly the best tailors in Atlanta. I called maybe two weeks out from my multi day, many outfit Indian wedding in sheer desperation. I had received 5 or 6 outfits from albeit high end designers that just didn't get the measurements right. They needed to be taken in, hemmed, tops needed to be entirely reconfigured. Gizzelle and her team meticulously worked with me to make sure I felt good about the potential alterations they were going to do, even making suggestions I wouldn't have thought of but would make the garment sit better. They turned around 7 or 8 outfits in just a couple of days for me, and I even brought them two additional ones which they turned around overnight and it was extraordinarily reasonably priced. I don't know what I would have done without them because some of my most important outfits needed some serious work, but every single thing turned out as if it was made for me. Don't go anywhere but Gizzelle and her team, you'll be glad you did! read more

I have nothing but good things to say about this company, their addition to details, and customer service. Gizzelle and her team are truly unmatched. My appointment was booked 2 months or so out from my wedding. The first appointment consisted of Gizzele consulting with my vision and her recommendations. We decided to remove the straps and make the dress more form fitting on the top. I had two additional fittings and then it was time to pick it up! It was a dream come true! So thrilled they were a part of my wedding team. read more

FYI- I DID NOT GET MY DRESS DONE HERE-- I did a consultation, got a quote, and this is my review of that after getting a second opinion on my dress. First of all: I asked for a ball park price twice and was told they'd give me one after seeing pictures but did not- I decided to go in anyway as they had great reviews. They found about 10 things they were going to do to my dress, and the cost was going to be 1,405- which included a rush fee since I was coming in 11 weeks before my wedding instead of 15. I decided not to go with them after seeing the price and was charged a consultation fee (plus I had to pay for parking) of $80. I understand that they did all the pinning but after looking at me in the dress they should have given the promised ball park beforehand or at any point while asking me if I wanted certain things done. I even asked how much things would cost and they put off telling me- just saying "he'll calculate it in one second." After going to another well renown seamstress, she gave me a ballpark over the phone after I explained what needed done- when I got there she inspected me in the dress, and then gave me a price of $600. I mentioned some of the other things gizzelle was planning to do and she was confused by them. She only needs to see me 2 times, and is going to finish in 1.5 months with no rush fee. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure those other things would've improved the look- but they were not necessary-- they were going to need to see me like 4 times, and their turn around time was insane compared to many other places I called. But honestly what makes this a 2 star and not a 3 star review is that after I decided to go somewhere else their whole demeanor changed and they seemed annoyed with me? I was told that was just the going rate for them and that they couldn't think of anyone to suggest to me? As if 1405 was like a normal price, and anywhere else would not be great? As if it's not reasonable to not want to pay more than I did for the dress for alterations. Anyway: I'm sure their work is great and if you're super intricate about what you want done and don't care about costs go for it-- I just would encourage you to know the costs up front- ask them to tell you what things cost before they start pinning, and have an idea of what other places would charge and do first: other places will give you a quote without charging you for coming in. read more

I brought a bridesmaid dress to Gizzelle after a horrendous alterations job at another place and they completely fixed the dress (which was NOT an easy task) in a short turnaround and truly did an incredible job!!! I will never go anywhere else!! read more

I'm sorry for being so late on this review. I had such a pleasant experience here, with every single employee. I competed in a pageant, and really wanted my dress to be perfect and fitting. Gizzelle and the entire staff knew exactly what I wanted, and made it happen for me. I was always politely greeted, offered a seat, and water as well if I had to wait. In total I had 2 appointments in total. The establishment is clean and feels like home! I will never forget how comfortable Gizzelle made my mother and I feel. I will continue to come here for as long as I live in Georgia. You will not regret it! Thank you Gizzelle! read more

My first experience was for my mother of the bride dress with a somewhat complicated bodice that needed to be taken in. Other alteration places wanted to sew up the sides, which would have fit all wrong. Gizzelle James worked with the design to get my dress fitting me perfectly! I've done some sewing, so I know it was not an easy task. Given that, I felt the charge for the alteration was very fair. My daughter got a beaded wedding dress sample and had Gizzelle James take off the sleeves to make it sleeveless, sew up the front bodice slit, repair the beading, hem it and put in a bustle. In other words, restyle it. It was a process, but my daughter and the women at Gizzelle James hung in there. The result was a stunning gown in which my daughter could move freely and enjoy the wedding celebration. I highly recommend Gizzelle James, especially if you're looking for women who understand how clothes are constructed and can make them fit great on you. read more

Gizzelle James Couturiere is the go-to place for all of your wedding dress needs. Gizzelle and her team are absolutely fabulous - my wedding dress fit like nothing I have ever worn before, and I felt absolutely beautiful in it on my wedding day. It was comfortable from beginning to end of the day and as an added bonus - had pockets where I could keep my vows and my chapstick - two keys to success for the day itself. Gizzelle and her team are by appointment only (and for good reason - between their custom-tailored fittings and COVID), are flexible, kind, and do an amazing job. As an added bonus - there are a few great restaurants nearby should you want to grab a glass of wine or a bite after the fitting (which I did often...). I recommend them 100% - you will be amazed and feel amazing!! read more

Her work was flawless--immaculate. I had a beaded, embroidered gown that was altered 3 times due to weight loss (wedding diets, amiright?), but nothing phased her. The embroidery and beading were perfect on the sleeves after alterations. She suggested we leave longer in the back and it MADE the dress. The dress fit like a glove and was STUNNING. Do yourself a favor and don't even consider anyone else. I'm telling you. You will be floored. I will be back, absolument! read more

As the world's laziest shopper, I took a chance and purchased a relatively expensive cocktail dress online two weeks before a NYE wedding out in San Francisco and crossed my fingers that it would just fit perfectly. However, I quickly came to the cold and harsh realization that I was not Kendal Jenner and needed alterations. I found Gizzelle James Couturiere, called to make an appointment and from the second I walked in, was treated to excellent, warm, professional and personalized service. They knew exactly how to fit the dress to my body -- AND turned it around in just a week. When I picked it up, I tried the dress on there and was absolutely thrilled with their work. I'm getting married in November and will DEFINITELY be using them for my dress. They are so talented and can pretty much customize your existing dress to anything you'd like. I'd highly recommend them for any of your tailoring needs. Their location in Midtown is really convenient as well! read more

I had bought several dresses online due to Covid-19 and ended up with one that fit about right. Had to get a few things altered and thankfully businesses began opening up. Gizelle was great. She was thoughtful about keeping a face mask on at all times, sanitizing everything she touched. She also was able to make the needed alterations to the dress in a weeks time to make it more ideal for my ceremony which was going to be outdoors due to Covid-19. Although, the alterations were on the pricier end. I regret nothing. I took my dress to the perfect place to make the dress ideal and fit my body type. Thanks Gizelle! Highly recommend for any bride to be to go to Gizelle's shop. read more

Everyone at Gizzelle James is FANTASTIC and WONDERFUL. I cannot say enough good things about how amazing my experience has been working with Gizzelle, and of course, Daniel is so so great and understanding; when I missed my appointment he was so accommodating and they were able to get my dress to absolute perfection!!

I went to Gizzelle to have my wedding gown altered. She came highly recommended from two bridal shops I went to, and her alterations did not disappoint. The gown fit beautifully. My gown, however, was stained while in their possession. It appeared as if someone got blood droplets on it, then attempted to clean it, leaving a brown discoloration about the size of a silver dollar. No one from Gizelle's shop even mentioned the stain to me; I discovered it about 10 days before my wedding when I took the gown to be pressed. After calling the shop to express how upset I was about the stain and the lack of communication about it, I was told they didn't notice the stain and offered an apology. As I mentioned, someone clearly tried to CLEAN the stain, so of course someone noticed it. I made this point to them, and they again apologized. That was it. They did not offer to pay for a cleaning, refund any of my payment, nothing. I'm very disappointed with this shop. They are clearly good at what they do, but really dropped the ball when it came to rectifying their own wrongdoing. I won't be returning. read more

Love the work on my dress! Very professional and well worth the money spent. I will be back!

I can't say enough about Gizzelle James! She was referred to me by a close friend and she killed these alterations!!! Wasn't cheap but more than worth it for your wedding! Listened so well and executed it exactly as I wanted! Her team is amazing. She had me come back as many times as I needed to get it perfect. She also showed my bridesmaids how to keep me looking snatched! She knows what she is doing! I will be returning for all future needs! read more

Gizelle and her team made my dream wedding dress a reality! She came highly recommended from the shop where I purchased my wedding dress (The Sentimentalist) and I was thrilled when I made a dress fitting appointment. I did not have trouble booking an appointment or with availability although you do have to call as I wasn't able to find a website. I had four dress fittings where they did a ton of work on my dress - everything from sewing the separate top and skirt together, hemming and bustling an especially complex train and even created brand new straps of my dress. They are seriously artists there and what they can do with a dress is unbelievable. I was so in love with the finished product and how I felt in it on my wedding day and I have Gizelle and her team to thank for that! 10/10 would recommend Gizelle James for your wedding dress fitting! read more

Oh man, I was referred to Gizzelle by Sentimentalist wedding boutique and she did not disappoint! The staff there was absolutely wonderful and Gizzelle herself worked on me too. Missy Couture was the highlight though ;-) no offense!! Pricing was a little higher than other but quality of work was higher than others too! If it's an important piece to you and you need someone you can trust, take it to Gizzelle's! I just loved working with her and her team and my dress was perfect! read more

This place does fantastic alterations! My wife's dress looked fantastic! Highly recommended!

I cannot express how amazing Gizzelle and her team are at what they do! Their alterations made my wedding dress look exquisite on me. Gizzelle has an eye for all the changes needed to flatter your best features, and made excellent suggestions that transformed my dress into something customized and perfect for my shape. Gizzelle also has such a wonderful personality---she listens well and made my wedding alterations experience such a pleasurable one! I will definitely be coming to her for all future alteration needs! read more

Gizzelle is great! I dropped off my suits a week before I was going out of town for work and was supposed to pick them up on Friday. Completely forgot until Saturday night. She's closed on Sunday and Monday and I was leaving Tuesday morning at 7 am. I went into panic mode, left her shop a voicemail, emailed her, tried to look her up on Facebook...basically acted like a maniacal ex-gf. She called me back on Sunday morning and met me at her shop on Monday just so I could pick it up. 5 stars for awesome client service. Oh, and the suits look great and fit like a glove. Pricey but worth it! read more

To all the guys out there: (While we're at it, a guy's girlfriend or wife should listen too). This is not only an endorsement from an extremely satisfied male customer, but also a call to all the men out there who are settling for not looking their best when Gizzelle's talent and value can be found so easily at her highly accessible midtown studio. The value: Want a tailored-looking sport or suit jacket without paying crazy prices? Guys, you can find blazers and sport jackets at vintage clothing stores (e.g., Lucky Exchange, Stefan's, etc.) for $25 dollars that are timeless and even better than what you can find at Macy's or Urban Outfitters. Just make sure the jacket fits well in the shoulders and chest. Take the jacket to Gizzelle to have her take in the waist of the jacket (somewhere between $40 and $55 dollars from my experience) to fit your exact body type. Come back a week later or so, and you will discover the immense pleasure in owing a custom tailored piece. Not only is it something you found that is unique and classic, but it will fit you properly and set you apart from the rest of the guys out there. What's best: you will have only paid something like $80 total when a similar, one-of-a-kind piece could cost you $300 or more elsewhere. The talent: It doesn't take much driving around in Atlanta to notice that there are tons of dry cleaners who offer alterations services as well. One could think that such clothing services would be sufficient because they might superficially take care of what you need (i.e., hem those pants exactly where you asked them to) however there is more to the story. Utilizing the talent of Gizzelle James will set you apart from those who use basic alterations services at a dry cleaners. At Gizzelle's, you receive the most accurate and up-to-date stylistic advice on where your trousers' hem should be placed based on fabric, occasion for wear, and your preference of shoe. How trousers break at the shoe (assuming any break is advisable) can make those suit pants, golf slacks or favorite jeans look perfect. Based on my experience, her knack for stylistic advice extends to the rest of a man's clothing ensemble as well. As a disclaimer, there may be some of you who are worried about yielding some control over your sense of style. However, one of the main things I like about Gizzelle is her ability to help guide if you want her help and advice, yet she has shown me that her priority is making me look better, not making me somebody I am not. The accessibility: Did I mention the abundant, free parking just 25 feet from her door? I absolutely love the fact that I can make it in and out of her studio within minutes. The bad: If I had to say anything bad about Gizzelle's studio, I would say that her increased popularity means it is advisable to make an appointment instead of relying solely on walking in. She will most certainly take care of you to whatever extent she can even if she is doing a fitting for someone else, but I have found it helpful to call ahead whenever possible. The bottom-line: As a guy, I couldn't be happier with the results, prices and overall levels of service. If you are still settling for less-than-optimal fittings, I strongly encourage you to take advantage of Gizzelle James's talents. read more

I was referred to Gizzelle from a number of people, including those on Yelp. I'm not normally the type of person to write a bad review, but I can't in good conscience recommend that people do business with this establishment. In fact, I feel compelled to warn you about this business. I came to Gizzelle to get two suits tailored, and prepaid for them to be altered for $400, which comes to an expensive $200 per suit. That said I was fine paying it, because she did come highly recommend from people I know. I paid up front, to pick up two weeks later. I come back to pick up my suits, and I'm told "we forgot to charge you" for one of the suits. I am now forced to pay another $450 to pick up my two suits. That is exceeds the value of the most expensive suit! I haven't felt hustled in a long time, but I felt exploited. Although her work is of above average quality, but how can you trust someone who does business this way? If I had something really important like a wedding dress to be altered, is this how you would want to be treated? Looks like I'm not alone in seeing this side of the business. Read the other negative reviews on here closely. There are plenty of other Tailors in Atlanta who will do good work, at a reasonable price, with honesty and integrity. This just isn't one of those places. read more

Gizzelle and her team heavily altered an Express tux that i bought for next to nothing but that looked like the opposite of Chris Farley's infamous fat man/little coat bit. In other words, it swallowed me, but i really liked the finish. I spent about the same on alterations as i did for the jacket and a pants, and left with what might as well have been a Marc Jacobs tuxedo (and you can call me Marc Jacobs when i wear it, too. I got tons of compliments). It takes a lot to trust someone with that large of an undertaking but they killed it and I'd highly recommend them for any guys out there that can't or don't make a habit of having suits built from the ground up. Buy that cool but fat-man suit that's on mega-markdown just to get the fabric and let Gizzelle build you a custom get-up. My nip-tucked jacket and hemmed pants ran me around $100 and was worth every penny. read more

If you have really nice clothes that you need altered and really don't want to take chances, check out this place. It says a lot that a lot of anxious brides trust the experts here with their gowns. I had a really nice dress with a lace hem that couldn't just be hemmed from the bottom, so I decided to visit Gizzelle James Couturiere (rolls right off the tongue, doesn't it?). This place is one of those house-turned-retail buildings on Juniper. There is a private lot next door with ample parking. Pass the salon on the first floor, walk up the stairs and make a hairpin turn. The shop is in the far right corner. I went without an appointment, and I found that the door was locked. I knocked on the door, and saw that they were taking up most of the space for a bridal appointment. Luckily, I was able to change in the bathroom, get pinned quickly and head back out. Next time, I think I would make an appointment. I don't think Gizzelle herself was there - there were two other very pleasant ladies there who helped me. The turnaround was about a week. I think I could have had it done sooner, but I was not in a hurry. It definitely was a pricey alternation, but the lace was sewn back together by hand, and the finished product was perfect. The ladies waited until I tried it on at pickup time to cut off the excess fabric. All in all, very pleased. Glad I trusted them with my dress! read more

Wonder If? Gizzelle James is not insured....that means when she ruins a $4000 wedding dress 14 days prior to that special day:(that she did do), the only resolutions is to take her to court.. Gizzelle talks a good game....and when she makes a mistake she tells you she "made the dress more beautiful". If you do not believe me ask her IF SHE IS INSURED....WE FAILED TO CHECK WITH THE INSURER FIRST AND LEARNED AFTERWARDS gIzzelle IS ONLY insured if the building burns with your item. Do Not A CHANCE OF HAVING your ITEM DESTROYED. SHE CAN NOT REPLACE IT? She has no net worth!!!! read more

Every so often, a service comes around that is truly exceptional---a service that leaves you embarrassed that you ever gave five stars to anything less. Gizzelle James Couturiere is such a service. I had a suit that was absolutely unwearable. I had purchased it from a made-to-measure internet store which apparently got the measurements completely off. The crotch was so tight I looked like Ricky Martin. The shoulders on the suit ended about an inch and a half after my shoulders did. Meanwhile, the waste curved inward, giving the suit an oddly feminine look. The whole thing gave the distinct impression that I had somehow stolen it from a female linebacker. I took it to Gizzelle, and within 3 days I had what is now the sharpest suit in my wardrobe. The entire alteration took three days to complete. I made an appointment for a Monday, telling Gizzelle that I was leaving for New York that Thursday. Two fittings later, I picked the suit up Wednesday evening. Gizzelle made it happen. The one thing to know is that Gizzelle's work does not come cheap. In fact, it's extremely expensive, costing as much as the original suit. But the quality of workmanship is fantastic, well worth the expense. If you need pants hemmed, take them to the cleaners. If you need a suit transformed, take it to Gizzelle. read more

A few things to know: * Gizzelle's studio is an easy walk from the MARTA Midtown or North Avenue station. Yay for public transportation! * Gizzelle and her staff are incredibly friendly, and very high energy. VERY high energy. I suspect you can hear Gizzelle's laugh over by the Fox Theatre. I love it; it overwhelmed my husband a bit. * I think her prices for small jobs -- a hemmed jean, a small repair -- are pretty typical. I've really only gone to her for radical formal wear surgery. It has never been cheap, and yet, I feel like it was totally worth it to have a wedding dress that went from impossible to awesome. I first worked with Gizzelle when she altered a huge, purple bridesmaid's dress for me a few years ago.She handled it as if it were a designer gown and brought it down to size with time to spare -- not a small feat. This year, I came to her with two on-the-cheap vintage dresses; one would be my wedding dress, but I wasn't sure which. Both were huge (huge!) and needed a lot of work. Again, she treated me and the old, delicate material like precious objects; she pinned both so I could get a better idea of how they would look. Over a few months -- I brought the dresses to her way in advance -- I'd pop back in for another fitting or to see a new detail. Each time, everybody there, even the customers I ran into, were kind and full of ideas. The dresses fit fabulously, as if they'd been made for someone my size. My hard-to-fit husband also took his suit there for some pretty significant alterations, and those came out fantastically, as well. In the end, I went with Dress #2, a blue strapless number that Gizzelle had rebuilt perfectly. She'd also procured a great teal blue ribbon for the waist, which was a surprise detail everybody seemed to love. Day of, my mom ended up resewing the zipper -- it seemed like it hadn't been reinforced at the top. Still, it was a small thing, and an easy fix. I will definitely take clothes to Gizzelle...but I'm set with wedding dresses. read more

I can't tell you how amazing Gizzelle and her staff are without telling my whole wedding dress honor story. So I live in Bham, AL and when I got engaged I looked at wedding dress boutiques close to me but all the dresses were big Cinderella ball gowns and that is not my style. I started researching styles, designers, materials, etc and found the designed Leanne Marshall (ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER WORK). The closest store that had her designs was in ATL so I went there and bought my wedding dress. When it came in, I had been referred to a seamstress in my area that was supposed to be really good. I made an "appointment" with her but when I pulled up, she was in a shed out behind her house. I took all of my garments in and decided to give it a chance and when I came out of the dressing room with my wedding dress on, the first thing out of her mouth was, "Oh! You're wearing that??" And not in a good way! She continued to talk about how she expected a big ball gown and that she was shocked that I would choose a dress like the one I chose. I didn't know what to do so I just stood there and when she started pinning the dress she would pull on the lace and the skirt and pinned the skirt too short. She almost ripped my dress a couple of times and then she continued to step/walk on the train. I started crying and she was like "You look unhappy and I don't think think we're a good fit." The lady I tried to hire to alter my dress broke up with me and then blamed me saying that I needed to lower my expectations and a whole bunch of other stuff. She insulted me and my dress from the second I walked in to the second I walked out! Fast forward to me calling Gizzelle begging for her to squeeze me in! She went beyond any and every expectation I had and I cannot thank her enough for making me feel like a princess on my wedding day! She spent hours with me and welcomed me with open arms the second I walked in! She was appalled when I told her my story and made sure I was comfortable with all the alterations they wanted to make. I was working with a very tight budget and she was able to help me in that aspect also! She is amazing at what she does and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding dress alterations professional! Gizzelle, you made it happen and I remembered to keep my shoulders back! Haha read more

I brought a dress to Gizzelle awhile back for some last minute wedding alterations; the thing fit me like a sack when I brought it in but in just about a week's time I got it back and it fit perfectly and looked great! Easily the best looking dress in my entire closet. I was especially surprised by how quickly the alterations were done. I would definitely recommend bringing your clothes here if you need 'em fixed up. read more

I highly recommend Gizzelle and supporting local businesses :-) read more

Just have to update my review and let everyone know that Gizzelle moved to a new location on Juniper Street right next to Mitra and above Babs!

Definitely stop by the new location and tell her I sent you! read more

They are the best!! read more
