    Nicolette T.

    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!

    Ask the Community - Only One Tailoring

    Would you be able to repair a leather jacket that ripped at a seam?

    We would have to see it to know for sure. If the thread popped, then we can just resell it if the leather ripped we may not be able to, but that would be why we need to see it.

    Is it possible to shorten the sleeves on a leather jacket?

    Generally speaking, that answer is a yes! We’re able to remove zippers at cuffs and shorten the sleeves there, and in some cases at the shoulders. Even removal and replacement of snaps is possible.… Read more

    I know your alterations are amazing, but are your bespoke suits made in-house?

    Hi Ryan, that’s a good question! We’re proudly one of the only places in Nashville that truly makes in-house bespoke suits.… Read more

    Jessica is very personable and professional. I didn't end up pursuing work with her quote but…read morewanted to sing her praises about the quote process. I will keep her in mind for future projects. Clearly she's running a great business because she's booked out for several months, so my advice is to ask for your quote at least 6 months in advance of when you need the item. Jessica is very transparent about pricing and timelines. User-friendly software clearly displays the total line-by-line, and the total aligns well with other similar quotes I received. Jessica charges fitting fees to compensate for her time so that you can cross alterations asks off your list and bring down your total if you're happy with initial or minor changes. She is budget-conscious and wants to give you the best result for the lowest price. Jessica has a philosophy that she doesn't make decisions about your alterations but rather equips you with information for you to decide what aligns with your priorities. Jessica seems conscious and supportive of all body types and levels of modesty, for example when she explained options for potential bust cup alterations. Jessica helped me understand the alterations industry more broadly, including common pitfalls and bustle types. She gave business-related tips like getting quotes in writing and understanding fitting fees/guarantees for exclusive work prior to going to a business. Her personal choice is to vet clients over the phone first to ensure a good fit prior to bringing your garment to her. Others may have you in for a fitting before quoting or exchange just over email. I learned so much from her over one phone call and loved her genuine communication style. I initially got her name from a local seamstress based on the type of garment I had. I'm not surprised Jessica has a great local reputation among peers in the Nashville area!

    She did a great job at a reasonable price. She explained the process well,was very transparent and…read morecommunicated well (i lost weight and needed my slacks altered, other tailors quote a price, but once i got there the price was for the waist, but did not include inseam, hem, etc...) she was very pleasant, punctual and i will be taking all my future alterations to her.

    Cheryl (the "C" in the business name, to point out the obvious) ROCKS! She takes a short girl like…read moreme and makes me look like I'm 6 feet tall! OK, so I'm exaggerating a little, but she will put the original hem back in my jeans so they don't look "hemmed". And always leaves them a bit on the longer side to make me look not so vertically challenged! She is a miracle worker when it comes to altering ANYTHING. And not terribly expensive either! I have never had her custom make anything, but I do know she works for several celebrities...namely, Dolly Parton! Yes, rumor has it she custom makes some of her outfits. Now, if the girl can sew for Dolly, then she can sew for me! She gets all 5 stars, although it is sometimes difficult to get in to see her. She works with so many stars, she is always working around tour schedules and photo shoots, but I tell you the wait is worth it. Great personality too, she is always happy to see you (or at least puts on a good act!). If you are not in a HUGE hurry (as in, need the next day), then I highly recommend you go see Cheryl.

    The address on Yelp for C Johnson Tailoring is correct (21st ave), google maps will lead you…read moreastray! Her shop is in a big office building and she doesn't have a sign out front so just go to suite 202 and you will find a sign on the door. Her business hours are from noon to 6pm. I brought in a pair of jeans to get patched and some workout pants to get hemmed and Cheryl had them finished in just a couple days. It was $25 and I was really impressed with how everything turned out. Cheryl was very friendly and the whole process was so easy and hassle-free. Next time I need to get something altered I will definitely come back to C Johnson Tailoring.
