Pat’s Apparel

Went in to consign some dress, all relatively new but the girl was so picky and wouldnt take my dress bc of a «stain» that i could not see and other reasons on the other dresses. I took 4 dresses up there and was looking around while waiting and realized the «brand new» dresses they had just ordered all looked like they were from the 90’s and were all super ugly… nobody wears polka dot prom dresses its 2016. Tehn out of the 4 i brought she took the ugliest one and told me it was going in consignment for 100 $ and i would get ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ profit. Well the lady didnt tell me while i was there that she would ALSO be taking 16 $ out of my 50%. so the 50 i thought i was recieving went down bc she also didn’t acknowledge that she isnt selling my dress for 100 $ only 75 $. Not happy at all about the way they do buisness or the ugly out dated dresses.

I wish I could give Pat’s Apparel more than 5 stars. The service and quality of her work was more than I could have asked for!
I brought in an expensive pencil skirt that had become too big on me. Not knowing much about alterations, I assumed the skirt would have to be taken in from the zipper. In the past, my experiences with alterations at the zipper have been dreadful, so needless to say, I was very anxious about having this skirt altered.
Pat worked miracles. She informed me that there were other seams within the skirt to work with, so the zipper would be left untouched! I had no clue there were other ways to alter expensive and seemingly impossible garments — but alas, Pat made it work.
I needed my skirt to be done within 2 weeks. Pat gave me a pick-​up date two weeks out, and it was done on time! The pricing was INCREDIBLY reasonable.
I NEVER write reviews for services I’ve received, but I am so thrilled with my experience at Pat’s Apparel, I felt the need to share. I will definitely be back.

I was looking for an alterations place to get my wedding dress altered (bustle & taken in at the bust line a bit) and refused to get alterations done at David’s Bridal. They are over priced and insist that need to keep my dress at a minimum 6 weeks for alterations. NO THANK YOU.
I came across Pat’s Apparel when I was doing a Unilocal search and am so happy that I did. After reading all of the positive reviews and checking out her Facebook page (which is actually maintained and updated frequently) I figured it wouldn’t hurt to go to stop by a get a FREE alterations quote. BOY, AM I GLAD I DID :)
Her shop is completely adorable. It is filled with basically anything you could ever ask for when it comes to dresses (veils, jewelry, undergarments, tiaras, etc) definitely a one stop shop. They also rent out tuxes for a way more reasonable price than Men’s Warehouse and offer a better color selection to compliment David’s Bridal, FYI.
Upon entering her establishment I was immediately welcomed by Amy, who turns out to be Pat’s son’s fiancé (it’s good old ma & pa run company). Amy is gem and answered every single one of my questions re: tux rentals. After speaking with her I will be canceling my tux rentals at Men’s Warehouse and will be getting them from Pat.
I put on my wedding dress (along w/​my two bridesmaids in their dresses) and Pat walked through step by step the things we would need to get altered along with prices. VERY REASONABLE. I am a bride on a TIGHT budget and even I was pleasantly surprised at the prices. Even better, Pat’s turnaround time for dresses is about 2 weeks. She does this b/​c she knows brides bodies will be going through a lot of changes the closer the wedding gets and she wants to make sure to get the most accurate measurements as possible.
Pat knows her stuff. I was on the fence about adding a sash to my dress but after 5 mins of Pat inspecting my dress, she suggested I pass on the sash and explained exactly why. I loved that. Pat is completely wonderful and extremely helpful. She, like Amy, took the time to answer all of my questions and was very informative.
I am so happy that I found Pat’s. I will be getting my dress altered there late July (getting married in August). If you are looking for a knowledgeable, thorough and friendly place to get alterations done, then Pat and her family are the place to go. I immediately felt welcomed by Pat & Amy and can’t wait to go back in July for my fitting.
VERY SATISFIED. Thanks Pat & Amy, see ya in July :)

EXCELLENT service. We took up 2 hours deciding between jackets, shirts, ties and shoes, but the staff was incredibly patient with us! And their prices are better than the chain stores in ATL. Also, there’s a warehouse down the street, so if there’s anything wrong with your order, it can be quickly fixed. Great experience here!

I took a high quality suit in for some adjustments, and was very satisfied with the tailoring service I received. Recommended.

I’ve used them several times in the past for minor alterations… pants hemmed. Pat didn’t do the work herself, but instead sent the work out. Most of the time, the pants were perfect, but on 2 occasions, the hem was very, very sloppy and the stitching didn’t even actually «hem» the pant… it was just stitched to the pant without actually hemming the folded material. I didn’t notice it until I got home and I was too lazy to take back to the store and wait for it to be corrected. Instead, I simply stitched it myself. I feel confident that if I had alerted them to the problem that they would have rectified it immediately. Again, it was just me being lazy. That problem aside, I would recommend them. I have a friend that gets their pants hemmed in Acworth, GA and they pay more for the exact same work. So the pricing is fair, as well.

I rented a tux from them to attend inaugural events in DC. Having never been to a black tie affair before, I was a little uncertain about which tux’s and accessories were appropriate. The owner did an excellent job of explaining everything and making sure the measurements were right and that I was happy with my choice.
The timeframe was tight but they got my order in right away and as promised, my tux arrived in time. On top of all that, they were some of the nicest and friendliest people ever.

Where to begin? I recently married the love of my life on Saturday, October 27, 2012. I chose to have my dress altered by Pat simply by finding her online. She was near my house, and after speaking to her directly on the phone, I decided to bring my dress in for her to take a look. She immediately knew exactly what needed to be done. She started pinning away and explaining what she was doing every step of the way. Once finished, I changed and brought my dress out to find she had already wrote up a quote for the price along with a thorough description of each alteration and cost. I left excited to pick up my dress in only 1 week. Admittedly so, I chose a difficult dress with a lot of layering, etc. But after 2 more fittings with Pat, I was sent home with a beautiful dress that fit just right! Pat was patient, kind, and understanding throughout the entire process. Her prices are MORE THAN reasonable and I would recommend her services to anyone, both near and far (it’s worth the drive!). Not only did I receive wonderful service from both her and her husband, but I arrived at my venue to find that Pat had saved another surprise for my wedding day… After changing into my dress, it was time to put on the jewelry. I went to open a little blue box that I used to store the brooch that went on my dress, and to my surprise she had place a beautiful rhinestone bracelet inside that I had tried on in her store on the day that I picked up my dress! It brought tears to my eyes because it just showed how caring and thoughtful Pat really is! She’s the best!!! :)

As always Pat & Jim do great work with great service! I went back twice this week with last minute stitch-​ups, hems and alterations before an overseas trip. Pat and Jim are not only wonderfully nice to talk to, but also got everything done for me fast! Thanks again, Pat. See ya soon!

Pat and her husband are amazing! Pat was able to alter my dress (including adding a bustle for under $ 50. We rented all of our tuxes through them and I even happened to find my wedding jewelry there. I used her to alter some honeymoon clothes and both of my parents used her to alter their wedding attire. They are both so helpful and nice! I don’t think we could have had the wedding without Pat!
