Fast and reliable service- only a quick hem, but it is always nice to know make it fit will get it right

My daughter had an alteration emergency before an event. We rushed over to ask if our little mishap can be fixed. And they said yes!! And it was done in one day!!! Such a relief. And the gal who helped us was so nice and understanding. read more

Dropped in on a Saturday morning and was able to get quick and efficient help. I changed into a formal floor length dress that I needed to get hemmed for my friend's wedding, and was measured by a helpful seamstress. I was promised pick up by Wednesday and they stuck to that timeline. I thought the pricing was reasonable. Thank you for taking care of my dress! read more

I got recommended this place from another alteration company (might be same owners?) but they did such a superb job at competitive pricing. They were able to help me get my suit pants tailored within that day. The lady who measured me had understood the length I was going for (barely floating above the floor). I love it so much. Thank you! read more

Came here for decades, Jennifer made it a great experience, now she's gone and the quality and service have dropped, so much so that a seam they stitched came out within a few months (poor quality) and they said they only guarantee their work for 30 days (weak) and showed total indifference to me not being cool with that as a long term customer (poor service, she didn't even make an attempt to address my concern or escalate, rudely turned her attention elsewhere actually). There are many other options out there that will appreciate us more so I'm done with them. read more

I was recommended to use this seamstress. I brought in a double breasted blazer dress I purchased from Ann Taylor. I normally wear a petite 00, but they were out of stock in my size. I bought the size 0, but was too big! Kim, helped me immediately with making adjustments with pins. She knew just exactly what to do to make it right. I dropped it off on Monday, picked up on Wednesday. Beautifully done. I highly recommend them. Great job Kim! Thank you so so much. Job very well done read more

Make It FIt does a good job and they are very pleasant. However their prices are crazy high. They quoted me $50 to make the cuffs narrower on a jacket. I went someplace else who only charged me $20 and did a excellent job. Before this encounter they charged me $40 to shorten a dress, more because it had a full skirt. Sorry but those prices are too high for me!! read more

I have come here before for pants hemming, but I would refrain from bringing clothes that require more complex alterations. I was hoping to get a length reduction and waist hemming for a dress of mine. When I came in, they told me that their main seamstress was out of office and asked me to come back tomorrow to get adjustments. I hope that in the future they'll do a better job of respecting their customers' time. Many of us are extremely busy and can't make multiple trips to the tailor. To be dismissed like that due to a staffing shortage felt unfair to me. On top of that, they quoted me $50 just for the length reduction, which felt overpriced. read more

Cannot say enough great things about this place!! I was in a pinch and needed a dress hemmed quickly and they got it done in a day. I will always come here for all my alteration needs!! read more

I had an urgent and complicated alteration and the owner personally assisted me. The quality of their work was excellent and I was very happy and pleased on how everything turned out. I will definitely trust them with my future alterations and I recommend this business. Their prices are very reasonable for the patience and service they provide. read more

There's no way I will ever come back to this place!!! Not only did they not called me to let me know that my alterations wasn't ready as promised to be picked up. I came on the day Make it Fit gave the date to be picked up. On that day, one of the gals told me that my pant was ready, but not my coat. She asked if I could come back the next day. Mind you I don't live in Tustin. I'm 30 mins away, so it's not like I can run down the street and can come back. The helper went back to asked one of the tailors when they can complete the sleeves on my jacket. They replied, it would be 20 mins. There's no way, a tailor can take out the garment sleeves, shorten both sleeves, sew the lining and buttons less than 30 mins and do the job to be just as good as the manufacturer's in that short of a time! Well, they did a horrible job on the sleeves of my expensive coat I bought from Neiman Marcus. I can sew, but I am busy mom of 3 kids. I have taken my daughter's winter formal, homecoming and prom dresses prior to taking my items. Make It Fit has done a good job previously with the alterations, but this time, they rushed the job and ruined my coat completely!!! I brought to their attention and they said they were not going to charge me for the alterations. What good does that do!?! I ended up donating my coat. The thing is, they should have offered to pay for my coat. Anyhow, I'm sooo thankful I have found a new alteration place near me. The new place is excellent and will not rushed the job or make excuses. Just know if you go to Make It Fit you're at their mercy and they don't take accountability. Best of luck to you all if you dare to take your loved items to get alterations. Unfortunately there no "0" stars. I would have giving them a big fat "0" instead of 1. I don't like giving bad reviews. It took me a while to write this review. My coat was altered over a year ago. I just couldn't let folks go to Make It Fit and have their clothes be ruined. Therefore I felt I needed to let the general public know. read more

This place offers good customer service, reasonable price for alterations and quick turnaround time. I'd go back.

This is our go to alteration place. They are quick, well priced, and efficient. This shortie always needs her jeans shortened, and they look like the hems were done by the manufacturer. Highly recommend. read more

Their original company was a dry cleaner in Tustin off 17th St. I used to go there 20 years ago and have them fix my pants or customize dress or something but I've always had great experiences with this company read more

I've had a lot of good visits here for dry cleaning and alterations. I like the convenient location, quick turn around, and the seamstresses I've had have been good. However, this last visit I had a whole suit combo alerted, as well as some other items and it just didn't come out right. After paying nearly as much as the cost of my suit to get it altered, I expected the fit to be spot on but just ended up taking it elsewhere to get the work finished. Prices should also be posted up but you only find out after they charge you. read more

kinda overpriced, I got a simple dress hemmed and it came out to $130, but prob my fault as I should've asked for a quote. the dress was hemmed nicely though, just think you can find someplace cheaper for such a simple service. read more

I had my daughter's pants altered here and the service was quick and easy, we were in and out in less than 10-mins without an appt, we just walked in. There are plenty of dressing rooms for multiple customers to be serviced at the same time. We dropped it off on a weekend and it was ready within a few days. Super cheap, too, I was surprised. I will take all of our clothes here when needed - from what I saw on their racks, they alter pretty much everything. read more

Very good quick service when I really needed it! Perfectly fine and very hospitable! I came in needing a dress shortened for an event and I needed it within 24 hours and they performed! read more

I brought my wedding dress here to be altered by Jennifer! She has reviews on Yelp for wedding dresses dating back to 2011 so I knew I had come to the right place! David's Bridal estimated my alterations to take about 6 weeks which was exactly when my wedding date was. David's Bridal is also notorious for expensive alterations. Jennifer did my dress alterations in less than 2 weeks and I felt that the price was fair. My dress needed to be a little shorter, pulled up and in more, bustled, and cover the low cut V neck. She was very sweet and knowledgeable about wedding dresses and recommended to use certain bras/boob tape. Come in with your dress, shoes, and underwear/bras you are planning to wear on your wedding to get the proper fit. My dress stayed bustled and in place after a day of walking, running and dancing around in it! I was satisfied with her work and I loved my dress! I highly recommend Jennifer for your wedding dress needs!! read more

I asked them to shorten the sleeves of my dress for my son's wedding. They did it same day for me which was great. However, the arms were not the same length as each other. The person who was helping me was rude to me and tried to convince me that my arms were different lengths. They ended up fixing it at my insistence. read more

This place is quick and fast with turnaround time. Good service and reasonable. They do have coupons in the little Irvine booklet. Kim and Jennifer is friendly and professional. read more

This is my go to alteration place. The lady there is very thorough. I am 4'11 so nothing ever fits me correctly. I have dropped off bathing suits, pants, jeans, dresses that are too wide or too long or even difficult designs and the lady there gets it right every time. After reading some of the 1 star reviews it compelled me to make a review because of course with alterations some things may not turn out the way you thought it would. And if you notice their reviews say they have been going there for a long time. There is always that possibility that an item design just might be very difficult to tailor and might leave you unhappy, but that's where I feel like people need to be a little more realistic with their expectations. Every single thing I have ever dropped off here has been executed beautifully even the difficult designs. I love this place! All of my clothes fit like a glove. read more

They did an ok job at hemming a bridesmaid dress but this place is very overpriced. I brought in a $72 chiffon dress and it was $69.90 to shorten it by about 2 inches. I talked to other bridesmaids and they all paid $45-50 to get the same item hemmed elsewhere. I have been going here for 10+ years but I'll find somewhere else to get items hemmed in the future. read more

REVIEW FOR TAILORING SERVICES ONLY I have used Make It Fit to hem formal gowns on two separate occasions. Both experiences were on point! I spent 10 mins during each visit for pinning and measuring the hem. The staff is friendly and experienced at their craft. I was provided an estimated completion date- and both times, was texted when my garment was ready for pick up...both occasions the job was delivered early!! Would I recommend them? Yup!!! read more

I took a suit that needed a fix for a weeding, long story short, HORRIBLE JOB! .. the hem on the pants was much shorter than what I asked and work on the jacket was horrible. If I button the jacket, the buttons are pushed to the left instead of the center, the front bottom part is open more than it has to; JUST HORRIBLE AND VERY VERY EXPENSIVE!! Never coming back read more

I wouldn't normally write a review before communicating but there's no email address and I'm really disappointed. I've used them a few times with no issues but most recently devastating results. I brought a pair of sweats in with a sample. After trying on when I picked up, it was completely wrong. I communicated the issues and the lady was kind enough to not charge for the steps they missed although the side hems were not fixable. I had a sample but that wasn't adhered to. Brought 3 more, they were supposed to fix the crotch on one and do the other 3 correctly. I had a sample and they called to say I needed me to try them on. Okay. So I went in, but they asked me to come in the morning another day when had when the lady was working. I tried all pants on twice to make sure it was going to be done correctly. 2 of the pants were done correctly, the other two are ruined. One was the originally ruined pair the other they did the sides on and ruined a second pair after communicating don't do the sides!!!. I specifically said do not do the side, they are supposed to be wide. They did the sides on both and they have blue stains on them as well. Not sure what to do. All 4 were the exact same paints, just different colors. How were 2 done correctly and 2 RUINED????????? They are each $160 pants and the alternations were over $100. I guess it's my fault for thinking they could get it right. read more

MIF has been my go-to for many years, but I'm now considering other locations, and unfortunately, I may not recommend this place as I have gladly done in the past. My concern is simply the level of customer service, or lack thereof. Recently, I went there on two separate occasions and was tended to by an individual who treated me as if I was an inconvenience to her day. The first time, I gave her the benefit of the doubt; perhaps she was just having a bad day. I get it. The second time was just straight up, unacceptable. Good luck. read more

My boyfriend told me about this place, his family has been coming here for years. Now I bring all my alterations here, specially pants since I am only 5'1" Everyone here is very knowledgeable and friendly, above all the job always gets done promptly. I will recommend this place to anyone who asks, they do exceptional work. read more

Took my daughters prom dress here. So upset. We picked it up for her because she had a CIF game to play then headed straight to a friends to get ready for prom. She called me devastated! They didn't DO ANYTHING! Dress is too long and too loose! I feel terrible for her! If they couldn't do the job they should have called her. What a horrible thing to do! ESPECIALLY since they charged her!!!!! I will be getting our money back! read more

I have never had a problem with this business in the past, however, most recently I have. My daughter took three pairs of work pants here to be hemmed. They were measured by the business and left to be hemmed. Once the pants were picked up and tried on they were still too long. My daughter took them back to be fixed and they refused to fix them without charging again. They tried to blame it on the shoes she was wearing, but she only ever wears tennis shoes. I've never had a tailor not stand by their work especially when they have measured and pinned the item. I was shocked at how impossible it was to reason with these people. To me this is common sense. When you do some incorrectly you fix it. In response to the owner's reply. If you read she only wears tennis shoes so those were the shoes she brought. Secondly your staff refused to fix the problem. They were going to charge us again. I was told this by two of your staff members. We will not be returning to your business. read more

Worsted place for quality alterations. Just pickup my brand new suit from this plac.. All I needed was to get my pants hemmed. I specifically told them that I wanted my pants to be slightly longer to give it a nice drop at the bottom and to make sure that my hemm wasn't more than a 2 inches. Well, my pants aren't slightly longer. In fact, they feel a bit short for my taste. In addition, the hemmed at the bottom is about 4 itches tall and very visible in my black pants. I complained about the hemm but the girl at front looked clueless. I will NEVER come back. I feel like they have no clue and I won't be referring anyone. If you value your clothing, go somewhere else. read more

I have been going to Make it Fit in Brea California for several years for mostly hemming. Yesterday I picked up a pair of pants that got hemmed and after I tried them on at home found that they were not hemmed correctly. They were still dragging on the floor. When they were pinned they were not on the floor. I took them back today yo have this corrected and was told I was going to get CHARGED again! I didn't make the mistake they did and they are not standing behind their work. Took my pants and walked out. BE AWARE! CHOOSE WISELY if you are thinking of using them! read more

I'm so disappointed with make it fit. The first time I went, the first altar was really nice, everything went well, the next Monday I went to pick up my dress, they told me the dress wasn't ready bc she forgot to put my appointment down, and she was on her vacation for whole week (one of the worker told me). She talked to me on the phone and said she was in an emergency situation. They wanted to WAIT for few hours to come back to try. I had to go back work so i made another appointment. Third time I want, wedding dress wasn't fit still, so I had to sit at the store and WAITING again for another alter lady to come. The fourth time that I truly thought everything will be just fine. She forgot to saw the cups inside the wedding dress. She asked me to give her 20 mins. What can I do! Once I got home tried to hang my dress, I found they cut off the inside hanging strips without letting me know. My wedding dress is heavy so I always hang with those extra strips. Then I checked the dress strips I saw a piece of dress strip fell off bc of the weight. My poor wedding dress had to laying on the floor. I was so sad to see that, I decided to call and tell them I need to speak to the owner The fifth time I went, the owner came and they put the inside strips back and apologized. He explained to me why they removed the inside strips, they just AGAIN forgot to saw them back. I was just SO frustrated with them, a lot of time been wasted. If you are going to alter jeans or whatever is fine, but wedding dress, highly not recommended !! I don't want you to go through what I had experienced. read more

The team at Make It Fit did a wonderful job altering my designer wedding and reception dresses. I had a short time frame and they made the process so easy and stress free! I will absolutely be using their services in the future. (I wish the dressing rooms were a bit larger; it was difficult getting my wedding dress into the room while having room to dress/undress/turn around, etc.) read more

Great value and great craftsmanship. Good location and convenient pickup hours. Friendly service and staff.

My family and I have been using Make it Fit (Tustin) for over 30 years. I recently took my wedding dress in for major alterations and Kim surpassed my expectations. She was so patient and meticulous in her work through the 3 fittings. I would highly recommend MIF, and be sure to bring your exact shoes! KIM is the best! read more

My wife had a dress altered in length. Seems simple enough, however, when she tried on the dress, the hem of the alteration was uneven. She brought the dress back to the shop, and they refused to fix their mistake, and wanted to charge her again. Keep in mind she paid $30 to have the hem altered. This is the second dress in a row with an uneven him that this location altered. We have been coming to this location for the last three years but unfortunately we will be taking our business elsewhere. read more

They helped me out big time. Paola was great. Came in on a Thursday and she had it done by 2 pm on that Saturday on a holiday weekend. Tailored my suit to fit. I will be back. #makeitfit read more

This place looks like a night club ;-) It was very easy to find and the staff was very helpful. My bf's pants were only $2 to hem and although they advertise "ready in 5-minutes" they asked us to pick them up in 3-4 days. I wanted to keep the original hem line so mine was $15...hmm not sure that's a good trade off but at least I can finally wear them. This isn't an awesome coupon but it was basically -$1 from the store: http://www.shopthemarketplace.com/coupons/print.aspx?ids=2488 read more
