Fashion Atelier

If you ever need a custom made wedding gown or a special occasion dress look no further than Fashion Atelier. I had many dresses made by designer Tatyana Merryman for Red Carpet events and fundraisers and always got lots of compliments on them. She serves rich and famou...s people without overcharging them as other places do, never brags about it and knows how to keep secrets shared with her during fittings. Integrity! Those of my friends who are just regular middle class people also use Tatyana's skills in alterations, styling, design and couture dressmaking. They have told me that she makes them feel as thou they are the stars! She does not advertise, so be glad I gave you her name :) Important to remember: her studio is open by appointment only, but it is easy to schedule by phone or e-mail. Check it out! Read More

I strongly desagree with a negative review about inconvinient hours and a bad customer service. It sounds as somebody did not pay the bill on time and got offended about the reminder!? It is also interesting that a person who wrote the negative review did not put the re...al name, all other reviewers did. I hope it is not written by somebody who is not even a customer of Fashion Atelier. After I saw that comment I had to write my review because Tatyana is the best! She sees people by appointment only and the store is even open on Saturdays. As far as payments: nobody wants to work free! Tatyana gives prices upfront and provides superior customer service. I was in retail business and often had customers who we could not please, no matter how hard we tried and unfortunately they complained the most. Do not be turned away by the negative review. I have been a customer of Fashion Atelier for over 10 years and had custom dresses made by Tatyana and also continue to use her for alterations. You will not find another person with such talent and taste. She is a professional designer and a dressmaker for over 20 years and has won many national awards for her work and has been published in many magazines and newspapers. She does not advertise except by word-of-mouth. Brides from other states and even Canada fly to see Tatyana for custom wedding gowns! She is a wonderful person and I am happy to recommend her to anybody!!! Read More

Tatyana is truly an artist who performs a craft that is rare these days. She basically sculpts a wedding dress on your body that is 100% unique and made for you. I fell in love with a dress online that wasn't available for purchase anywhere. After I saw it, I knew I ...couldn't walk down the aisle in anything else, that was my dress. Then began the process of finding someone to make it for me, which was no easy task! Everyone I talked to wanted to completely change the dress so that it was simpler to make, only Tatyana seemed completely capable and enthusiastic about my dress. From the very beginning she was so much fun to work with. She picked out parts of the dress that could be more flattering to my figure, but other than that stuck to the design. The dress came out better than my wildest dreams. Tatyana helped me feel beautiful on the most important day of my life and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a one-of-a-kind personal experience. She even offered to help reduce the cost of my dress by finding different materials when I expressed concerns about the price. It truly is hard to find professionals so dedicated to true craftsmanship these days. If you want a unique dress custom made for you then Fashion Atelier is the place to go! Read More

I love Fashion Atelier and its owner Tatyana! You do not expect to find such talent in Murfreesboro, maybe in NYC. Tatyana can design any dress for you and her workmanship is superior! Do not buy a wedding dress or veil until you see Tatyana! Fashion Atelier also provides alteration services, do not trust your gown to anybody else!

I worked with Tatyana last Spring for my June, 2008 wedding. She was truly a pleasure to work with, and my wedding dress was absolutely stunning. In a time when the wedding business is overly commercialized and often impersonal, it was nice being able to work one-on-o...ne with a truly talented craftswoman. It does take her a while to make the dresses, but you are taken back to the days of old, when dresses were remarkably unique and well-made. I recommend her for any special occasion, just know that it's being handmade and it obviously takes much longer than going into a bridal store and purchasing any dress. Read More

The designs are beautiful, and the product was nice. However, the store hours are very inconvenient, and it was very difficult to schedule appointments and connect on the telephone. I was treated inconsiderately and frankly quite rudely. Payments and payment methods see...med awfully important, where I thought quality of product and customer consideration and satisfaction should have taken more precedence. I do not recommend this business. Read More
