For 28 years, this Nashville-area boutique has built a loyal following as a destination for prom, bridal, and special-occasion dresses — and it's one of the only shops in the region offering professional alterations in-house. The business generated Seller Discretionary Earnings of $88,000 and $87,000 in 2023 and 2024 respectively. The most recent year reflects a deliberate wind-down of inventory as the owners prepared for retirement — not a change in the business itself — and a buyer who restocks for the upcoming season can reasonably expect earnings to return to historical levels.



That combination creates a business with both seasonal upside and recession-resilient recurring revenue — alteration demand held steady even as merchandise sales declined during the wind-down.



The business carries approximately $400,000 in branded designer inventory at cost, and the $175,000 asking price means a buyer acquires that inventory at a meaningful discount before even accounting for the brand, vendor relationships, or equipment included in the sale.



The owners are retiring after nearly two decades at the helm and are offering full transition support, including personal introductions to longstanding vendor relationships and a guided trip to the Atlanta apparel market to help the new owner select the next season's inventory. Out-of-state customers regularly travel in from Kentucky and Alabama due to limited competition in those markets — entirely through organic word-of-mouth and search visibility, with no advertising spend to date.



This is a turnkey opportunity for a buyer with retail, fashion, or alteration experience looking for an established customer base, proven earning history, and a clear path back to historical earnings.
