I promised myself I'd branch out and stop buying all black for a while, but then I saw this damn jumper and the way it snatched my waist-- I had to have it. It's mine. I own it. You need to get one, too. The staff are friendly enough, even more so if they know you're buying. That aside, this is just a great spot to find the perfect statement piece and more. Sam approved

The appointment was over in about 20 minutes because after showing me two dresses, it felt like she was done and didn't want to show us anything else.

They have all the elements to create any costume you could imagine as well as fully prepared costumes for rental and for sale. I've used Bittner's to find my wig when I was Princess Lolly. I came when I needed prizes for my Sweet Transvestite Party (a tiara and a wand). I bought rainbow colored fake eyelashes for some party I don't even remember, but I do remember my friend gluing my eye shut during application. In short, you can rely on Bittner's for all of your costume needs however simple or elaborate.

Bittner's serves an awkward yet similar dual purpose for Nashville. They are simultaneously a…read morecostume and a formal wear store. Its awkwardness is obvious, there's something about the idea of going to the same place that you found your Halloween costume to rent a tux thats unsettling. Yet it makes sense - why not, its all just clothing, and arguably isn't formal wear a costume of a different kind? (ooo I'm deep hah!) I've never actually purchased or rented either type of costume here, partly because I'm a firm believer in creating my own Halloween costumes and partly because, well I'm female and don't generally come across an event where I would need to be decked out in a tuxedo. I have, however, spent many an hour here over the years perusing the merchandise. Its a great place just to get some ideas, or even just pick up some accessories. The staff here is friendly and helpful and its location on West End makes it incredibly convenient. I can't really say anything about their prices as I don't really know what the clothing rental market is like, but their quality seems to be right on and I've known anyone to have a bad experience here. Obviously there are certain times of the year when they are more popular, so if you're shopping for something at those times, I'd suggest getting the jump on it early or you might find yourself with some limited options.

She was recommended to me by a client of mine who has lived in Nashville for far longer than I have, and it's the best recommendation I've ever followed up on. I've never felt more beautiful in a dress before I had one made by her. Muna is an artist at what she does. She can make anything you dream up into a truly customized and beautiful couture gown. She's an absolute dream to work with, as well. I consider her one of my closest friends after only knowing her for 2 months. Photo below by Madi Flournoy Photography @madiflo on instagram. She's also wildly talented and a lovely person.

I was sent to them from West End Alterations because West End said my wedding dress was too…read morecomplicated. So I walked right over and went it. A. It looked like a roll of fabric threw up all over the floor. I couldn't believe how unorganized and messy everything looked. B. I had to speak up and talk to them first, no one greated me at the door. So I said "Hey, the place down the hall sent me over - they said you do wedding dress alterations." 3 of the women stared at me until I turned my head and saw a younger lady sitting there. She was very nice and asked me what I needed. I believe she was the daughter of the owner. So I told her and she showed me into a dressing room and told me to put my dress on. C. I go into the dressing room and there is stuff everywhere. No one offered to help me put on my HUGE ballroom gown wedding dress so after struggling for about 10 minutes, I finally got it on. D. When the nice girl that helped me came back - she brought her mom (I assume). Her mom looks at me and says..."well - this will be very expensive". I knew alterations would be so I said that's fine. Then she continued to look at me with such distasted and said "Well, we make clothes, so it'll look good but before I pin you, let me do an estimate." Maybe I just looked poor or they didn't care to help me, I don't know. But she came back and said my dress alterations would cost $700. Ha, I laughed, because I thought she was kidding. I'm not a moron, I knew it would be expensive (as in $400), but there was now way I was going to pay them $700 after their poor customer service. So I got undressed and walked out. I will never visit them again for any alterations I'll ever need. They were rude, acted like they were better than me and their studio was awfully cluttered. My dress would have been lost in there.

Service is always great, no pushy sales people but the staff is very helpful if you need it. Alex has been awesome to shop with on several occasions. Definitely a high end store with some high end prices to match. But if you're looking for some special pieces to add to your wardrobe and aren't afraid to drop a bit of $$$, I totally recommend. Also great location on 12 south, a nice shopping district with other stores, restaurants, cafes etc so you can make a day of your visit.

It is so interesting to go back in time and see that Nashville style play out in its old and grungy way in this cool store. They have everything from old dishes and trinkets, to that 1980's jean jacket your dad had. There are taxidermy animals, cowboy boots, army wear and vintage tee shirts. They also had some vintage looking printed tees that were made newly for the store that said Nashville in that weathered way that is trendy in this city. I just found this story so fun to walk through. I didn't buy anything but I will definitely be back the next time I am in town to see what treasures I can find. So cool. :)

We poked around and then asked about the price of a shirt that didn't have a tag to which the woman behind the counter responded "seven fifty", to which I responded to my friend "oh nice! do it!" to which the old lady behind the counter responded "Did you think I meant seven dollars and fifty cents? Go to Walmart." I'm not hating on Walmart but who tf talks to a customer like that? Lol And yes, I did think she meant $7.50 because I was standing in a small, hot shack that smelled like moth balls and was packed to the brim with crusty, oversized graphic t-shirts and men's cargo pants that I could find in my brothers closet. Or probably at Walmart, honestly.
