Make It Fit

Giving 3 stars for the fact the drop off lady was super knowledgable and great with my 14 year olds first formal dress. However, upon pick up a different girl asked my daughter for her ticket went to the back, got the dress handed it to my daughter and was on to the next person. She didn’t offer to let her try it on for a final fitting or even say thank you. I will probably go back but be extra choosy about who waits on me.

I have been coming here for over 6 years. Jennifer is exceptional. The service is professional. I have only had to have 1 item redone in the years I have been coming here. The turn around is very fast and the pricing is equivalent to tailoring shops. It may have been less at a dry cleaner when I was utilizing their services, but every garment had to be redone no fewer than 2 times. I have had some special request items & they were made/​altered perfectly. My mother-​in-​law visits from Chicago for 2 months this time of year & saves her alterations for MIF.

My daughter had Winter Formal last week. We found a dress on Friday around 2pm and drove to MIF in Tustin at 2:30. We asked Jennifer if we could have it altered within the hour because we were pressed for time. Jennifer, who is so kind and accommodating, agreed to do it and DID NOT charge us extra for the rush job. At 3:30, the dress was done as promised and the execution was perfect. MIF is amazing and the customer service is second to none!

Jennifer is amazing! She has been doing my alterations for 5+ years now! I don’t trust anyone else with my clothes. She’s so accommodating and never disappoints!

This is my go to alterations place, mainly because it is convenient for me. Basic hems are less than $ 6 but if you are looking for a major alteration, it can get costly. I had to get a bridesmaid dress altered and it cost almost as much as the dress but after getting quotes from a couple places, it was about the same price everywhere. They get things done on a timely manner which I appreciate.

Don’t come here! They do a terrible job at even the simplest sewing jobs. I’ve taken pants in for a basic hem and they make one leg shorter than the other. They also can’t even close a pocket in a straight line and leave gaps, then try to scam you and make you pay for their bad work. They have the worst customer service and are extremely rude. Avoid this place!

4 Stars only because of the on-​spot re-do’s.
I always come here for last minute work. I bought two dresses for $ 23 each and got them taken in for $ 110. It was same day service and although I detailed how I wanted the blind lining hemmed perfectly so you don’t see the twists on it, they still tailored it rather poorly.
Good news about this place is that they’ll fix it right then and there if you show them what’s wrong with it. Unless they’ve cut off too much fabric then your assed out. Since my dress was already really short and I wanted it just a tad shorter, I triple made sure that she left some fabric for flack in case of mistakes and ensured that she unequivocally understood not to cut it too short. After a same day re-​do, my dress was good to go!
I also brought a brand new bikini here to make the underwear smaller. They sewed it really sloppy, stitching was twisted and one side of the bikini was shorter than the other side. I didn’t have time to bring it back as I was headed on vacay the next day so when I explained it to the manager she told me to bring it back for a free re-​do.
Sometimes it helps to spend more time explaining what you want or don’t want and clearly demonstrating it on the piece of clothing. My parents owned a sewing factory years ago and had accounts from Mervyn’s, Disney, JC Penny etc etc and I sewed with complicated sewing machines since I was in second grade so I’m familiar with alterations and clothing manufacturing which makes it easier for me to explain what needs to be done or what to watch out for.
I had a bra tailored here as well. It was a 36 and too big for my bust so they altered the entire push bra to a 32 and it was perfect!
PS they also alter boots.

Absolutely fantastic service. After 7 years with my seamstress, she told me she couldn’t get the alterations done in the 4 days I’d given her. So I raced down to MIF in Tustin completely frazzled and they got the alterations done in 2 days. Then, the morning of the wedding, my top, which I didn’t have them alter initially didn’t look right, so I went over immediately and they altered the top that day and I picked it up on my way to the wedding. Will definitely be using them again.

3 because it was fast and local. Missing 2 stars due to a little on the pricey side vs. that hole in the wall tailer that I am sure you find if you asked around, but I am Irvine so I am far from those. It is what it is … will I go back? Prolly .lol

What a great business! They can alter any type garment AND with material I brought back from France they made a fabulous queen duvet cover!

I’ve had clothes here in the past:
1. The skill/​quality is very subpar. The comments and rating for the place is accurate. The clothes I’ve had done here have came out between average and below average. If you need something basic like a hem or length adjustment then no problem, but anything more complex than that you take a risk. For anyone who has had clothes tailored in the past and are experienced, you’ll agree what you get isn’t anything great.
2. The place is open later and more than most places so it’s convenient. A lot of places close early, but if you need the time in the evening they are open later than most places.
3. Prices are expensive and more than you’d spend than at a local dry cleaner or such.
Overall I’d give between 2 and 3 stars. The staff is friendly and if you need to go back they will make adjustments as needed. For basic alterations I’d recommend it (albeit it high price), but anything more complex I’d go somewhere else. I also certainly would NOT have anything expensive done here. Just basic work slacks, no expensive suits or anything.

I have been going here for almost a year and they do a fantastic job each time I’m here.

Absolutely horrible. I took some dresses in to be shortened & the line was very long. The girl who helped me had a really bad attitude & was rude. Hoping the actual work would be better, but nope it sure wasn’t. I was met by another equally rude employee & she told me they were unable to hem one of my dresses. WTH? They did refund me but were very annoyed that they had to. Two of the 5 dresses look okay, one other was hemmed in black thread (tan dress), another had a different style hem when I specifically asked if the would be the same, and the last one was very crooked & my brand new, never worn $ 300 silk dress had a stain on it. DON’T GO HERE!!!

The past 4 months I’ve had over 50+ pieces of clothing from: pants, tops and suits taking in for alterations.
Jennifer has been awesome, along with the others, with courtesy and patience to assist.
I have been pleasingly impressed in the quality of service and creativity used on some more difficult pieces. Allowing me to utilize, a more comfortable fit between casual, business and uniform which has allowed me to enjoy a whole new wardrobe.
Thank you for making this possible.

They damaged 3 pairs of expensive slacks. Two pairs were too long to wear but too short to alter again (the stitch holes would be visible if you were to hem them to the correct length.) One pair was too short. One of the pants was left with small tears along the bottom as if they had been snagged on something — but they blamed «the person who tried them on before you bought them,» and, «(my) shoes.» Yes, my shoes are responsible for tearing holes in my pants. I bought these pants online straight from the company.
One pair was left with legs of different lengths — but they blame «(my) legs for being different lengths.» This is not a joke.
Of the three pairs, two were pressed on too high of a heat setting, leaving them damaged with an ugly sheen; they were also pressed incorrectly, leaving odd, ugly flaps at the bottom of the pants. The pants came back with white liquid stains and hair all over them — they just looked at me and laughed.
I had a similar issue with them years ago where they left pant legs at different lengths, but I decided to give them a second chance thinking things would have changed. Like any bad relationship, they haven’t changed. I should have listened to all the other reviews on here: they will not do the job correctly and will damage your clothes — and then blame everything else but themselves. Literally, everything else. Find somewhere else to go. Anywhere else.

DO NOT COME HERE!!! I came in to get my bridesmaid dress hemmed and it was a tad big around the bust. So I decided to get it taken in about a half inch. When I came to
Pick it up they had a line out the door so I was unable to try it on at the store. After getting home, I tried my dress on and it was three dress sizes smaller! I took it back and it turns out they had taken it in 2 inches. So I had to re-​do it exactly the same size as when I came in. I paid $ 60!!! $ 30 to get it hemmed and $ 30 to take in the bust. I told them I wanted my money back and the «manager» said I could get my refund once I picked it up. So when I came to get it, they said they could not refund me because the manager told them not to and she’s not in for the day so there’s so way of getting ahold of her! I was in such disbelief such liars and thieves!

They do great work but their prices seem inconsistent depending on their mood. I don’t recall ever paying $ 24 to hem in a romper.

I had two pants tailored here. The price was reasonable and I used the $ 1.00 off coupon. It took them 3 days to have my pants ready. Good service.
PS. Be careful not to walk into a mirror. They have so many of them and it’s difficult to tell they are mirrors. LOL

I use to be a huge advocate of this place and would recommend it to all of my friends because I liked their service, attention to detail and price for the work. However, after my most recent visit, I can no longer say that I am comfortable recommending this place to my friends.
The service was rushed, granted there was a line when I came and customers were being so rude (out of the business’s control) but that doesn’t mean you should pay less attention to any individual. Because the pinning of my two shirts were rushed and weren’t pinned neatly, the sewing job sucked. The bottom of my shirts (I brought in two and they’re both now unwearable) are sewn unevenly and probably up to my belly button?
Sorry Make it Fit, whatever new changes you’ve made is not working out for me. Best of luck.

Paid $ 240 for some suits and jackets to be altered… work was accurate but clothes came back with hair all over, lots of threads everywhere and the suits were not pressed where the work was done. Owner said they do not press clothes… that you should take it to the cleaners for pressing after they do their work… no one advised in advance and there are no signs anywhere.
Don’t go on the weekends.
Need some business advice on customer service. .grossly under staffed.
