completely comfortable through every step of the process and treated my gown with so much care. Her attention to detail is amazing, and she truly goes above and beyond. I am so grateful for her! She made me feel absolutely beautiful for my wedding day. I recommend her to anyone who wants not only flawless alterations, but also a warm and supportive experience.

she made me feel completely at ease. She listened closely to what I wanted, offered helpful suggestions, and treated my dresses with so much care. The fit was perfect—flattering and beautifully tailored. She paid attention to every little detail, and it really showed. I felt amazing in both dresses, and I received so many compliments! On top of her talent, Karen is warm, professional, and genuinely passionate about her work. She was also with me for my whole wedding day, steaming my gown, my grooms tux, my bridesmaid dresses, etc. and assisted me with my gown and train; she even stayed until after the ceremony to bustle my dress!! I’m so grateful I trusted her with such important pieces. Highly, highly recommend!!!

body shape with such care and precision. From the moment I stepped into her studio, she made me feel like a princess and ensured my wedding day look was flawless. Despite my reaching out to her last minute, Karen went above and beyond to accommodate me and worked tirelessly to make sure everything was perfect and completed on time. Her dedication and expertise were evident in every detail, and she showed an unmatched commitment to excellence. Karen’s pricing is fair and transparent, which added to my confidence in her services. I also can’t forget to mention her incredible assistant, Izzy, who is always on top of scheduling and juggling appointments to ensure Karen’s clients get the attention they need. Thanks to Karen, I didn’t just find a seamstress—I found a fairy godmother and a friend for life. I highly recommend Karen Hendrix Couture to any bride (or anyone in need of alterations). I plan to come back for any future alterations as long as she will have me!

nmatched, and her attention to detail made each dress feel like a masterpiece. I felt like my most confident, authentic self in her designs, and it truly showed on stage. Karen is a creative genius and hands-down the best in Nashville. If you're looking for custom pieces that make you feel incredible, call Karen. I promise you won't be disappointed!

ng to size down & fit me better, she ensured it looked the best it could to fit me well & also be flattering. With the help of others like Quinn, Karen & her kind staff were able to make a bustle to fit my personal style, even though only one had ever been done prior at this business. Overall was very pleased with all 3 of my appointments & their emphasis on ensuring I was happy, confident, & proud in my dress. Thank you very much, & I highly recommend anyone with altering needs to look into Karen Hendrix Couture.

incredible than the last. Karen as well as the rest of her team make everyone feel special and that there’s nothing more important than the garment they are addressing in your appointment. All items to be completed for each fitting were done and my gowns were always perfect!! There is NO ONE who will take more time to understand what you need to make you beautiful on your special day than Karen and her team!!! They are truly angels on earth!!!

uld still need alterations I was a bit frantic. The initial meeting with Karen and her team could not have eased my mind more. They immediately got to work on my alterations and went above and beyond to accommodate fittings that didn’t disrupt my very busy work schedule, despite the short timeline. My dress now fits exactly how I had envisioned it and I cannot wait for elopement day. I cannot thank Karen and her team enough for their timely yet beautiful work or their support through the process .

he is known as “The Fairy Godmother “! Thank you Karen for making the most important day of my life a dream come true. ❤️

ah. They were responsive, so knowledgeable and just an overall joy to work with. They made an experience that could have been so stressful feel like a breeze. The end result was perfect, and I couldn't recommend them more!

t organized team ever! I can’t say enough good things about this experience. My dress looked like it was made for me and I’ll forever cherish their hard work and kindness.

ain. My vision was to cut off the train and add an overskirt to have two different styles and they made my vision come to life. The main gown looks incredible with the long line of buttons ending perfectly at the hem and you never would’ve know we changed up the style-the structure of the bottom looks so gorgeous and the overskirt was hemmed perfectly to fit me. It also allows me to not have to bustle my primary gown because it’s detachable for dinner/reception. Working with Karen and her team was so lovely. Karen’s pinning is just incredible, she takes such pride in her work and it shows in the final product. I felt so welcomed and had an amazing experience, I went in uncertain what I was envisioning would work, but left feeling so confident and beautiful in my gown!

for me and stayed late to finish my dress and would not let me leave til it was perfect and I appreciate their hard work so much. I traveled from out of state to come get my wedding dress worked on by them and it was worth all the time and money. They made the experience so fun and perfect. Shout out to Dana also, the sweetest funniest seamstress who will cry at you in your dress more than you! Love them!

pensive designer bridal dress for alterations. Karen was always very pleasant and we were so happy with our first appointment but it went downhill from there. Karen takes the measurements and does the pinning and then dictates directions into her phone to be done by her staff. That is where the disconnect comes in. Karen is not doing the majority of the work and you may have someone working on it who she is training. She is also not following up checking the work done. It is fair to say the work looked shoddy. Basically, almost everything that was done was done incorrectly. We brought the dress in 4 months early because we made it clear we wanted the dress at least 2 weeks before the wedding. Fittings were incorrect, appointments canceled and delayed. She took the joy out of having a dream wedding dress experience. Truly was a nightmare. They basically had to redo all the shoddy work the last appointment which was less than 48 hours to the wedding. To name a few of the errors: waist taken in too tight, zipper and hook in the back put back so it was sticking out exposed for all to see where before it was seamless, random threads everywhere, scrunched up siding that should be smooth, the bustle was 100% wrong and not what we discussed and straps were not adjusting correctly as we discussed. Meanwhile we missed dinner with out of town family guests because we had to wait for this dress for 4 hours and retry it on again with more corrections! The had 4 months to work on the dress and practically had to redo everything in the last 48 hours and acted as if they were doing us a favor by working late to finish it. The bustle did not stay up for the wedding. The buttons were sewn on loose and the snaps for the under layers did not stay snapped. My daughter had to go into the bathroom 3 times to literally sew the dress together. Disappointment is an understatement and I would NEVER recommend taking any dress there for alterations. I also feel we should get a refund for the almost $900 she charged but I am certain that won’t happen since it was already paid in full.

The quality of work was immaculate and the service is top notch. I am trruly going to miss seeing them every other month. I can't thank them more for taking one less item off my plate to worry about. Please give them a call, you will NOT regret it for a second!!! Love you Karen and team!!

e pulled out every trick in the book to get it to lay just right. I very much appreciated her perfectionism and willingness to spend the time and extra effort to get it just right. Plus, she and her staff are just delightful. Highly recommend!

my dress felt custom made. She and her employees are incredibly talented and made me feel so confident on my wedding day. I'll be sending all my friends to Karen!

appointment I distinctly recall Karen on the floor picking through each feather detail of my gown to ensure it all was hemmed properly and looked cohesive with the entire dress. Karen is meticulous and works VERY hard to make sure your dress fits you like a glove, as it should for your big day! 5/5 stars!! Bravo!!

al, and truly incredible! Karen was so sweet and kind, especially while explaining the necessary alterations and the overall process to make my dress perfect for my wedding. I would gladly and excitingly encourage anyone in the Nashville area to go see Karen for any alteration needs. You will surely receive a beautiful final product along will an amazing experience.

her friend to get engaged so I can send them to Karen! You won’t regret it.

nique and key part of my wedding planning and day. The care, attention to detail, and love that is poured into every stitch, silk button, and piece of lace is more than evident in the absolutely gorgeous couture that Karen creates. The entire process was fun, warm, and stress-free, and I would eagerly recommend Karen Hendrix to anyone who wants to bring their vision to life with a talented and amazing fairy godmother.

y of bridal shops all over Tennessee. I was starting to get a little discouraged due to me not finding the "perfect dress". To be honest, if I am the one getting married and paying for the dress, I should be able to have any dress I want regardless of what my body shape looked like. I tried one more dress place which was called Karen Hendrix Couture. I really had lost all hope in finding a dress at this point, but I decided to contact them anyway. When I first got there. Every appointment with Karen was fun, exciting to the mind, and filled with love, hard work and care for all I wanted in my dress. My dress turned out amazing. It was more than I expected it to be and I feel like I owe Karen more than what my dress was worth due to all the hard work she put into my dress and the indescribable feeling I felt when I put my dress on the day of my wedding. I enjoyed my experience so much with Karen that I still keep in touch with her months after my wedding. Look no further, if you are looking for someone to make a dress perfect for you!

r a mother of the groom dress for my son’s wedding and could not find the perfect one for me. Karen Hendrix Couture came highly recommended to me and I saw where she created beautiful mothers gowns. In my first consultation appointment with Karen she made a sketch using the ideas that were most important to me. She assured me that we could accentuate the positive attributes of my figure and erase the negative. She took 23 measurements to assure a perfect fit. I chose a beautiful soft gray matte satin fabric with a matching chiffon overlay. The movement was important to me because of my mother- son dance. The next step in this process, she is making a wearable muslin pattern. This will be the first time that I will see my actual dress. In this step she is altering it to me to insure a perfect fit. The next step in this process is the first fabric fitting. This is where we set the details for the final design. The Final fitting will be the finished gown. The wedding is in July and I will be sending my second review along with the pictures of my beautiful gown. Thank you Karen for being the answer to my prayers.

s style wedding gown(that had 12 layers of toule underneath the skirting) She also did my MOB gown as well as my MOG gown(for my son’s wedding). From the moment I met Karen;I knew I was in good hands. Her knowledge, time and care she spent on our dresses as we discussed what needed to be done was so thorough. She was so creative with design ideas on my dresses. I trusted her because she as such impeccable taste and has so much knowledge with couture dress design. I also knew my daughter’s wedding gown would be altered properly and with tender loving care. She was so pleasant and kind with a very calming and sweet personality. I had complete trust that our dresses were in good hands. And the results exceeded my expectations. I will go to Karen for all of my future design and creation of couture gowns. She is the best of the best! Jackie O

ant work with bridal gowns, I know what a lovely, warm, and kind person she is personally. I was in her wedding when I was a young woman and she made my bridesmaid dress for her wedding. It was one of the most beautiful dresses I have ever worn. When it was my turn to get married, she altered my dress and made me feel like a princess because it fit like a glove on my wedding day. Unfortunately, I went through a divorce in 2018 but I found the most amazing man I've ever met in 2020 and will be marrying him in June of 2023!!! I was so excited to call Karen and get on her schedule to not only do my alterations but help me create two looks with my dress, one for the ceremony and one for the reception. We have been talking about adding sleeves or a large overlay skirt to my dress that can be removed for the reception and I am SO EXCITED! I know she will make all of my wedding dress dreams come true!!! And, she can do it for you, too! You will NOT go wrong hiring her! YOU WILL LOVE HER JUST LIKE I DO!!!! Thank you, Karen, for being so attentive to what I wanted and for listening and making me feel like I am the only person in the room when we are together. You are the gold standard in custom wedding dresses, additions and alterations.
