Had a blanket repaired where the back was separating from the front at the corners and they repaired it beautifully! Easy to drop off and got it back within a week!

I most definitely would recommend Elegant Stitch in Nicholasville for their beautiful work, refined skills and promptness with their work!! They have done hemming, sewed on a cloth closure on a cape, and attached a patch to a shirt. Excellent work, indeed!

My daughter found her dress the week of prom and I explained the situation and they helped and how it done by that Friday. The ladies are so very sweet and very happy to help. I was running late for the pickup and didn't know if I would make it in time so she told me to call her as I got closer and she would try to stay open. I will be using these ladies again! Thank you Beauties

I highly recommend Elegant Stitch in Nicholasville to anyone looking to have something altered. Lina altered my scrub pants, they were long and wide and she made them fit me perfectly. You can’t even tell that they were completely altered. She worked so quickly, had them ready in no time, and did an absolutely amazing job. You can tell she truly cares about her work and her customers. Lina is wonderful, talented, and such a pleasure to work with, I will definitely be coming back. Thank you!

Allie Gammon

This lady is a true treasure. She not only altered my dress perfectly for a very reasonable price but asked if I needed it next day. I won’t be going anywhere else. This kind of friendly service is a joy and very rare.

Before your fitting

Planning an alteration at Elegant Stitch

How should I start?

Send a fitting request, call, text, or email with the garment, requested change, city, and any event or wear-by date.

What should I bring?

Bring the garment and the shoes, belt, shirt, or foundation pieces that change where it should sit. Reference photos can help explain the intended silhouette or length.

Scope, price, and timing

Details that shape an alteration plan

Can I get a price before a fitting?

Share clear details first. Fabric, lining, construction, beadwork, the requested change, and garment condition can all affect scope. The shop can then explain what must be inspected in person.

How long will the work take?

Timing depends on the garment, construction, requested changes, event date, and current shop capacity. Review the alterations timeline guide and share your deadline before work is accepted.

Is rush work available?

Rush capacity is not automatic. Review the rush alteration request guide, then contact the shop with the garment and exact deadline.

For a more useful price conversation, review the alterations pricing guide before sending photos or garment details.

For independent garment-care background, use the textile references and bring the sewn-in care label to the fitting.
