Share the garment before you drive
Use the secure request form, call (859) 241-1027, text (859) 354-8349, or email hello@elegantstitchky.com to describe the item, the needed change, your city, and your event or wear-by date before visiting. This way the shop can confirm whether the work fits current capacity and you can plan your trip around a confirmed fitting time.
Choose the most relevant service
Start with clothing alterations for everyday garments, dress alterations for casual through formal dresses, bridal and formalwear for wedding gowns and event dresses, suits and menswear for jacket and trouser adjustments, repairs and restyling for zippers and mending, or custom tailoring for bespoke garment work.
Plan the fitting around your Lexington schedule

Lexington-area garment types and common requests
What Lexington clients bring to the shop
The shop sees a wide range of garments from Lexington clients. Below are the most common categories, each with a link to planning guidance and what to prepare.
Dress alterations
From casual sundresses to cocktail and evening gowns — hemming, bodice reshaping, strap adjustments, and sleeve work. Bring the shoes and foundation pieces.
Wedding dress alterations
Gown fittings planned backward from the wedding date. Most gowns need more than one appointment. Bring shoes, foundation garments, and the event date.
Suit and menswear alterations
Jacket sleeves, waist suppression, trouser hemming, shirt tapering. Evaluate the jacket, trousers, shirt, belt, and shoes as one complete outfit.
Zipper repair and replacement
Zippers on dresses, pants, jackets, skirts, and bags. Photos help the shop determine whether repair or full replacement is needed before you drive from Lexington.
Hemming pants and jeans
Bring the shoes you wear with these pants. The heel height determines where the hem should end. Original hems on jeans can often be preserved.
Rush alteration requests
Contact the shop with the garment and exact deadline. Rush availability depends on the work requested and current capacity; it is never automatic.
Before you drive from Lexington
Checklist for a Lexington-area fitting
1. Send garment details ahead
Call (859) 241-1027 or use the fitting request form. Describe the garment, the change you need, and your timing. Include photos if they help explain the work. The shop can often give you a clearer idea of what to expect before you make the trip.
2. Confirm the appointment time
Weekday hours are 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The shop is closed on weekends. Confirm a specific time before driving — walk-in availability is not guaranteed.
3. Pack the complete outfit
Bring the garment, the shoes you will wear with it, foundation pieces, belt, shirt, or any other item that changes where the garment should sit. Missing pieces can mean the fitting must be rescheduled or the result will not be accurate.
4. Know your deadline
Share the event date or wear-by date — not just "as soon as possible." The shop plans work around real deadlines, and travel, pressing, or a final try-on may need their own buffer.
Review the alterations FAQ for more detail on what to expect, or read the timeline guide to understand what affects turnaround. For bridal and formalwear, also see the wedding dress alteration timeline.
