Anything I buy at Community becomes the absolute favorite I own and use regularly. The selection at Community is curated and exclusive, so I can always count on finding something one of a kind. For example, I bought a stunning bag here, created by a local brand Marlene, that was designed and made from up-cycled material. The bar for what I keep in my closet has been raised much higher ever since. I’ve gotten rid of many other bags because my Marlene is so stylish and versatile, I hardly use much else anymore. I value being environmentally conscious when I shop, and Community does this in strides: they sell timeless designs not based on fast trends, they sell and create with natural fabric, they sell products made by local artists, they upscale the design and durability of secondhand clothes, and they provide services to alter and maintain clothes we already own and love. Usually I shop at affordable thrift stores, but it has been worth far more to save and buy a few things at Community than to buy higher quantity of subpar quality elsewhere. Community has inspired me to further discover my personal style and elevate my palette for quality clothing, accessories, and even pieces for my home. I never regret money spent here.

*This review is for the alterations part of Community, not the store itself.* I am really disappointed with the services I received. I took a formal dress to Community 2 weeks before I needed it back (which is exactly the time required per the website for formal dresses). The seamstress seemed excited to help and I felt like my dress was in good hands. I received a text almost a week later saying that my seamstress was out sick and asked what I needed done with the dress. I came back for a second fitting where the seamstress didn’t know my name, what I was there for, and did not know the status of the dress. When she found the dress, nothing was done except taking the cups out, despite the second fitting being over a week after the dress was dropped off. I paid up front and the seamstress said I could have to pay more for a rush fee, even though I dropped it off in the required time. She also said that she was unequipped to do the alterations I needed to fix the area that was too big. She said I would need to follow up with another seamstress later in the week, but she could not guarantee it would be done. I am very upset with the results, as the extra fabric in the top is not fixed. The seamstress kept telling me it looked fine and to just take it home. I will be taking it to another place. I was unimpressed with their lack of professionalism, problem-solving, and pricing. Payments should be done at the end of the service instead of the beginning, in the event of an extra charge.

#Chalises Heavenly Inspired joined with #Community Athens for the Shop Small Crawl this past Sunday. The event was great and well attended. The WOA Women Of Athens did a fantastic job putting it together. Thanks to them and Athens for supporting the Shop Small Crawl 2023

I was so impressed and delighted when I realized Community does alterations. Tiffany, Community’s in-house seamstress, exceeded all of my expectations with a quick and friendly fitting and a very reasonable turnaround time (and during the week of the 4th of July!). This is the best spot in Athens to get alterations and when you do, you’re supporting a wonderful, local, woman-owned business!

They altered my bridesmaids dress and it fit perfectly! Very reasonable prices and quick turnaround, they said it would take a week but they finished it in 5 days I think. A nice worker even stayed at the store a few minutes after close so I could pick my dress up after work, which I really appreciated :). Definitely will be my future go to for alterations in the future!
