Sandra G’s

This place was recommended to me by a friend, and I really like Sandra G! It was clear after my first fitting that she really knew her stuff. To start, if you need something to be altered you need to make an appointment. I called Sandra right before close one Friday evening, and she was able to fit me the following Monday. I took in a white, open– weave maxi to be hemmed and she did a great job. She also added some darting in the back of the dress because it fit shorter in the front than in the back. It took about 5 days to pick up that dress and another item I took in for a small strap adjustment. What I also like about this place is the cute little dog that greets you when you walk in. His name is Mr. T, and he just follows Sandra around and wags his tail.
I certainly plan to take in more items as needed. I think most of Sandra’s clients have wedding dresses or bridesmaid dresses, but when I was talking to her she mentioned to me she even had a client come in to add fabric to a swimsuit. Based on my interactions with her, I’m certain she could probably make anything I own fit like a dream.

I will NEVER be a client of Sandra’s again! I took my dress to her on March 13, 2015 with plenty of time for her to get the dress done before my wedding on May 30, 2015. When the first fitting was over I scheduled the next fitting up front for April 24, 2015. I was so excited for my fitting to see how my dress was turning out until they called me the night before my fitting to tell me that my dress would not be done, when asked when they could get me in since I am a college student and cannot come to Knoxville at the drop of a hat she told me that she just really didn’t even know what to tell me that I would have to figure it out myself. When I rescheduled the appointment for May 1, 2015 I told them that my sister and mom would also be coming in to get their second fitting done. They had no idea where their dresses were or what they looked like so that they would have them ready. After this horrible phone call I decided not to stress since I was going to get to go in a week to the fitting. On my way to my fitting on May 1^st they called me 30 minutes before my fitting and told me that my dress was not ready and it would not be ready for a couple of days, I was pulling into their parking lot at this time! While in the shop I found out that they had a bride in there that was trying to get her dress finished and her wedding was in 5 days and they still were not done, and many other countless brides that had been there for many hours trying to get their gowns! Seeing all of these brides and the lack of responsibility that was put forth for my dress was the last straw for me! I took my dress to a different alterations place that was very helpful! And to top it all off I did not receive a sorry for the inconvenience or anything! All of the things that I was put through for my dress alterations was very unprofessional and unacceptable!

If you are in need of some alterations, then go see Sandra. She might be a little pricey sometimes but her work is 100% worth it. As soon as you need something altered take it in because sometimes she gets a little backed up, especially around wedding season. Conveniently located on Bearden Hill, you won’t be disappointed in her work! Cheers & Enjoy!
