Brought in a brand new pair of suede cream boots from Rag & Bone ~$500. I hadn't even worn them yet but wanted to get the soles protected. The shoes weren't ready on pick up day and I had to return the next day. When I received it, there were scuff marks everywhere, discoloration, it looked like it had gone through the wringer. My new boots looked rough and worn and I was devastated. The suede had so many areas of rubbing where it wore through and I could see the underlining. Do not go here for things you value. I wasn't offered any re-comp. read more

I came in with a dress I needed taken in at the waist and he did an amazing job! I paid for him to just tuck in the fabric but instead he took it in in a much more comfortable and well fitting way. read more

James is fantastic. I've never used a tailor before and had a sharp deadline for a Bridesmaid dress that came a bit too big and long. He was able to make the perfect adjustments for me and even took the time to pin it on me and was very attentive to the details. He met my deadline and the cost was worth every penny to not have to stress about the dress fitting for the big day. Great value. I will be back to use his services again. Thank you James!!! read more

I went in with my wife's favorite winter coat. The coat has a zipper that several people had been unable to fix. I left in about 20 minutes with a functioning zipper after James had worked his magic. He deserves many more stars. read more

Friendly, efficient, and top-notch work! He transformed my affordable suit into something that looks better than suits I've spent 10 times as much on. read more

Very good job replacing soles on my Birkenstocks. Next time I would ask not to shoe polish the leather (I prefer my own mink oil.)

James, the new owner is a talented tailor and has now added shoe and handbag Repair. He is warm and welcoming and no Job is too big or little. He loves what he does and takes great pride in his work and Customer satisfaction. Working with him is a lovely experience. I highly recommend James. As the new owner he has transformed the old, dreary shop into a place you feel good to visit. Drop in, the parking is great and you will walk away with a smile. read more

Quick and very reasonably priced, got a dress hemmed last minute for a wedding and pants and everything turned out great

James did a great job altering my boyfriend's suit. Very affordable and nicely done. Would definitely recommend him!

Me and my buddy went in there and James was so nice and helpful we had a super small repair and it only took him a few minutes and he offered it to use at no charge. James is a very fair and honest man. I will be bringing my business here from now on. read more

James did a really nice job with alterations at a reasonable price! Will be back here for sure.

Fit-Rite is hands down the best alterations service I've ever come across. The owner, James, is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. I had a torn and damaged karate uniform, with the edge of the back in bad shape, and I was ready to give up on fixing it. But James went above and beyond to repair it perfectly. I can't recommend Fit-Rite Alterations enough! read more

READ THIS IF YOURE SHORTENING SUIT SLEEVES Brought in a suit jacket to shorten the sleeves. Got the jacket back and I'll take some blame for not clarifying HOW she would shorten the sleeve but she cut the sleeve from the end instead of moving up the whole sleeve from the arm hole. There were usable buttons that are not usable. It's not noticeable once worn but the real reason for the low stars: sleeves are uneven. Photos will show she didn't shorten sleeve to the same place despite chopping them. Thankfully it was a cheap suit but I'm still out $46.20 after this alteration. read more

James did a beautiful job hemming my newest jeans, to exactly the right length. Learning that he does other repairs, ---zippers, pursues, packs, et al. I returned with a fav cardigan with a long-broken metal zipper. In very short order, he fixed this too. James is exceptionally skilled and considerate. I highly recommend James for any and all tailoring needs and other repairs too! read more

Reasonable pricing, very welcoming and great in the craft. Highly recommended. One jacket sewed and 2 zippers repaired.

Brought few dresses and couple jeans last week to be altered after losing few inches and the owner did an amazing job and met the expectations. Able to save money from buying new outfits, thank you! read more

I was really disappointed to receive my fur coat stained with marker in several places (marker.. not chalk..) I pointed it out upon pickup and she attempted to remove it with a strong chemical that left the fabric matted and still stained. I was very disappointed to learn my clothing is ruined. I was not happy to pay for the destruction of my never before worn coat but understand time is valuable and offered a compromised price. She took my money and asked me to never come back. I couldn't be more disappointed with my experience at Fit-Rite read more

Had 4 dress shirts and 1 pair of blue jeans resized and requested they be expedited (4 days). They weren't ready on schedule, but were the next morning. Given the affordable price though, I still recommend. read more

I brought 3 dresses to her. They are all fairly tricky alterations. Two of them are silk wrap dresses and the top needed to be taken in (they were too big for me). Another dress was big in the waist area. She added a couple of darts in the back to improve the shape. She did a wonderful job on all three dresses. I was able to get everything back within a week. Her fees are very reasonable given how expensive the dresses were. Her store is tiny and full of clothes, but her work is top notch. Very happy with the outcome and highly recommend her shop. read more

Since my first review last August, I have taken several different items over to Fit-Rite. And I have to say - they (they meaning: SHE) has done an absolutely fantastic job on everything that I've brought in. Pants, jackets, hats, socks, gloves... even my formal evening gowns (I've grown a little in the chest...) everything that I have had altered at Fit-Rite has been done with exceptional precision. The service is always timely. And the prices are more than reasonable. Can't say enough good things about Fit Rite. Don't let their little shop fool you. Seek it out - it's well worth it. ~ Highly recommended! ps: I don't recommend eating any of the candy on the counter though. I think that stuff's been there for years. read more

Gave my jacket to be fixed as the zipper broke and was able to get it back in a week. The lady that works there is very helpful and showed me many options for zippers before we decided on one. Quick and decently priced. read more

Saying that the owner (slash sole employee) of this humble little spot in Factoria is a hard worker is quite an understatement. Case in point: We dropped off two dresses on Wednesday, both of which needed some extensive alterations... by Friday. After telling us that the dresses are "very very sexy," she said, "Ok, they'll be done by Friday. Can you pick them up around 9 or 10pm?" Completely surprised, I said, "Wow! You're open until 10pm? On Fridays?" "No, no," she explained with a big grin, "I close at 6pm. The dresses will be ready by 9 or 10pm. Come by, I'll still be here." They were. And She was. And they were perfect. read more

Tip: call first to make sure she is there before picking up your stuff! This lady does fantastic work. Beautiful seams, flawless work. The only downside is she's a "one man show." Meaning she leaves for lunch at random times, closes early when she feels like it, etc. But her work is impeccable, so it's worth the trouble. Just call first to make sure she is there for pickup. read more

The owner, a dedicated businesswoman, did not hesitate to tell me what to expect when I brought my beloved True Religion jeans and Lululemon stride jacket in for repairs. She has been here for twenty years, so you know she means business. The jeans had the trademark gold stitching that was coming loose from the pocket, she fixed it EXPERTLY! The Lululemon jacket I bought on eBay for a killer deal had a hole in the arm, nowhere near a seam so she said it would show, but at least it would prevent any further damage. IT DOESN"T EVEN SHOW! She is AWESOME! My clothes were done right on time and for an excellent price. I will come back for all my tailor, repair, and dry-cleaning needs! Never again will I waste my time and money elsewhere, and I am pretty damn picky. read more

Only days before a dinner function, I discovered the qipao I planned on wearing was too roomy. A very nice and soft spoken lady @ Fit Rite carefully pinned up the gown, on both sides, from shoulders all the way down to the ankles. (Incidentally, have you ever tried removing a close-fitting gown that's full of pins? It was quite a crash course in contortion-ism.) She never even flinched when I asked if the alterations could be rushed; instead, she simply smiled and wrote my requested pick-up date on the ticket. My qipao was ready as promised. I showed up just as she was giving it one final pressing. She did a very nice job under the time constraint. Given the nature of the garment, some parts did not fit as smoothly as they should, but I could tell she did her best, short of re-constructing the entire gown, which I'm sure she could have done if I hadn't been such a procrastinator. She even adjusted the length of the side slit and hemmed it carefully. Where did she find those few extra inches of matching material? I'll never know. Fit Rite is a little shop, hidden behind US Bank, right on Factoria Blvd. The prices are reasonable. The service is attentive and prompt. Go and leave your pants with the nice ladies there. You won't regret it. read more

Love this place! Finding a great alterations place is always tricky... I'm a lil shortie, and have to always have my pants hemmed, Original style... so by the suggestion of my Boyfriend I brought my Lululemon pants with the string on the bottom here and she hemmed it exactly as the original... even the stitching! AMAZING!!! to top it off, I needed it within 2 days... DOUBLE AMAZING!!! And it was extremely reasonable... TRIPLE AMAZING! Thank you!! Maraming salamat Po! read more

I bring all my alterations here. They have great prices and always do a GREAT job! I've brought pants, dresses, a duvet cover, and several other items - always great work! 'nuff said. :) read more

I have been looking for a place to alter my clothes with reasonable price and base on the reviews I decided to visit fitrite. This one lady charged me $70 just for shortening the length of two maxi skirts. $30 ea. and $10 rush fee since I needed it by the end of the next day. When I went back to pick up I was greeted by another lady who kindly took the $10 rush fee off because she thought the price was unreasonable expensive. Make sure you pick the right old lady. read more

I haven't been here for years but the service is as good as ever. The shop is quite small but they do good, quick work. I took in five pairs of jeans to be hemmed. My order was completed in less than a week. The work was very well done and the price was fantastic. I like the location and parking is convenient. When I was in dropping off my jeans the woman working was even aware of two children who had been left in a car in the lot - it was a very hot day and she was concerned. I offered to go out and check for her. Everything was fine - the mother was standing in front of the studio next door and the car was running with the A/C on. I was just impressed that she was so aware of what was going on outside. My jeans were ready when she said they would be and they were exactly as I had wanted. This is the only place I will go for alterations. read more

Based on the good reviews, I sent my jacket to this store to have the sleeves shortened and the shoulder area narrowed. After I picked it up, I tried it on in the store and already it felt awkward. I went home and examined the jacket, and I noticed that the joint connecting the sleeves to the back looked wrong. I tried to ignore it, but it just felt very uncomfortable, so I disassembled the places she alternated. Found out that the sleeves are not the same length and that the left front armpit area connecting to the sleeve was cut short by more than 3 inches and she just bunched it all up together. read more

Great spot for alterations and fixes. Pricing is great and quality work. She helped me out in no time thank you! read more

Fit-Rite Alterations does an amazing job -- don't hesitate to use this business! I had a ripped knee in my favorite pair of jeans and, rather than throwing them out, I thought I'd try a repair. I simply wanted a sturdy repair, regardless of how it looked. I was expecting an obvious zig-zag suture, but what I got was a beautiful patch and stitch job that seamlessly blended in to the denim, no one could tell there was a huge gaping hole at one time. And the knee feels sturdy and strong - these jeans will last another couple years! Thank you Fit-Rite! I will definitely be back and will spread the word you are a wonderful business. read more

Brought some Naked and Famous jeans to be tapered on a Friday. Stated a 1 week turnaround but I was in no rush and came to pick up a little after a week. Great price and the jeans came out great! read more

I'm short and have been looking for a good and reasonably place to hem my pants. I tried a few other place in DT Bellevue, but they always seemed to screw my pants up and seemed like a waste of money because I'm never happy. I decided to check Fit-Rite out after reading the review here and totally have to agree with the other Yelpers. Fair prices, good customer service and willing work with you in a short time frame. read more

I took in 7 pairs of jeans to get the leg hem and it cost about $ 12 a pair, which is a reasonable price for Bellevue. I've been to other places and its about $ 18 and up. I'm definitely going back there again. read more

SO frustrating. I used to take all of my clothes here for alterations and hadn't been back in years. It seems like the lady that used to run the place is gone. I took in a bunch of things and they did fine on the pants, but they literally turned one of my favorite dresses into a halter top. I was having it shortened a few inches, and now it is literally a halter top, and a short one at that. The seamstress pinned the dress while I was wearing it and it looked perfect, so I have no idea how another 10 inches got taken off of the dress. Super disappointing. read more

Been going here for a few years. Most repairs have been basic but the quality has been fantastic. Price is fair and the timelines are reasonable. read more

Right work. Right price. Right Time. Right Service. What is not to like about Fit-Rite. We have brought everything from my trousers, suits, tux shirts, my wife's dresses, our daughter's young adult wear - all altered on time and first time right. I paid as much for altering FOUR trousers here as the custom tailors in downtown Bellevue quoted for altering just ONE of the four. The owner turned away the items that she thought did not need to be worked on. She has recently down-sized her shop ( blame our recession!) but is smiling as ever and working hard as ever. Hats off. read more

If you want quality alteration, this is the place you want to go. You might pay a bit more than other cheaper places but you will be happy with the quality of their work. read more
