This is now my go-to tailor! I came in looking to bring in the waist of one pair of high-waisted jeans, one pair of paints with an elastic band, and one pair of shorts also with an elastic band. The price was right and she got all three done within a week, and they fit PERFECTLY! The shop is run by a Korean lady, who greeted me as soon as I came in and asked what I needed. Her English is very limited, but I was able to explain what I needed and she was very to-the-point about pricing and timeline. She had me try on my pants, pinned them up, and told me that they would be ready in five days. I ended up coming back to pick up a week later, after closing time no less, but a quick phone call and she accommodated to my schedule so that I could get my pants. When all was said and done, my pants now fit like a glove and I couldn't be happier! There is ample parking in the strip that the shop is located in. The shop does not accept credit card, so be sure to bring cash! I would prepare to encounter a language barrier if you do not speak Korean, so I would think longer for more complicated alterations. But if you're looking for a place to get something hemmed, tucked, or pulled in, I recommend this shop to everyone! read more

Walked in on a weekday around 5 and she was able to help me with tailoring two pairs of pants. It takes about 4-5 days and you don't need to pay when you dropped off your stuff and pay on day of pickup Tapered $18 per item Black levi jeans Black lululemon pants They both came out just how i wanted! I was more scared of the lululemon pants but they came out flawless. Coming back for other jeans and items read more

Brand new $90 dress ruined. At least she was nice when I picked it up. I was going to wear it to a wedding tomorrow, but she altered the straps too tight... which I told her I did not want, and sewed one back on twisted. She also removed the tags so now it will be hard to try to sell locally as new. read more

Perfect Tailoring - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Milpitas, California

See all

I've kept bringing my clothes to her for all my tailoring/altering needs for years. Even the suit I wear to all the weddings I go to. She did a perfect shortening of sleeves and length of my sweater complete with double-stitching which matched the original stitching. She's my permanent tailor for sure. She's a gem and very nice lady so make sure you drop her extra tip! read more

Great place, the worker is nice and good price as well. I will be coming here for all of my clothing alterations. -The plaza itself is a little bit ghetto read more

KOREAN - SPEAKERS ONLY STORE - I travelled all the way here and the store owner told me she doesn't understand English but Korean and won't be able to help me fix even just an elastic band of the pants. Don't come if you can't speak Korean. read more

There's a review about her only catering to Korean people. This is false. I do not speak Korean, am not Korean, and received 0 problems from having my clothes tailored here. She did a great job and the price was reasonable. read more

Had my pants hemmed for a good price. She did a great job!

Amy is great. I've been going to her for several years for all my alterations and she always does an amazing job.

She gave me a blank stare the moment I walked in and when I explained to her what I wanted she immediately said "Sorry, no I can't do it." Then I asked for a reason at least and she said, "No." To top it off, I followed with another question, " Do you know of any other places that may be able to do it?" She goes, "No." again and rudely walks away and continues to do her work in the back table. Looking down, not acknowledging me or even thanking me for even considering her shop. The amount of disrespect, even when I was nice and polite. It's heartbreaking, because I was expecting her to be sweet as some of the reviews described her. read more

I rarely ever leave reviews because I normally have great experiences and I don't like saying negative things about others and their businesses. I came here and the lady working was rude and not very welcoming. I figured that's ok and let it go. After she completed the measurement she said the price was 20 then when I went to pay she told me 25. She was already rude to me and then on top of that trying to take advantage of me by raising the price. Another person came in while I was there and she was very welcoming to them. It felt like a racist situation but I can't say for certain why she had such rude behavior towards me. Horrible experience. read more

I just picked up my first batch of alterations and I'm dumbfounded by the quality of work. I showed up on Saturday with no appointment and a stack of suits and dress shirts in need of major adjustments. I have a horrific time buying dress shirts because my neck is 18" while my waist is 36", so anything off the rack usually results in a tent-like appearance. This wonderful seamstress turned my ill-fitting wardrobe into a finely tailored closet of colorful options. She shortened cuffs, slimmed down sleeves, and shaped each shirt to compliment my physique. I have an athletic build but prefer the tailored European look with my suits, and she's helped me to accomplish that with every single garment in only a week's time. Ma'am... you've earned a customer for life. I'm emptying my closet and heading over tomorrow to have you fix everything I own. Thank you for doing what you do so very well. read more

Best tailor ever. Her: -product is terrific -personality is professional and humble -prices are seriously value I had: -my jacket arms shortened: $15 -two pairs of pants hemmed and tapered: $15 each Total: $45 Tipped her $10 on top and she wouldn't accept until I sternly insisted. read more

First time around she altered my suit beautifully and in such time crunch. She could have easily taken advantage of me but she charged me such minimal fee ($40) to hem the length of the sleeves and pants length. I normally take my suits to the alterations department at nordstroms for complimentary alterations as a cardholder but since they were backed up on previous jobs it left me scrambling everywhere to find a last minute tailor . I was so happy with her previous work that i recently sent 2 more suits her way. Everything was great except 1 jacket. The sleeves were obviously too long and when i brought it up to her she insisted that i asked for that length and that is how it should be . i mean that would work on someone who wears a suit once in a while , but i wear my suits very often so unless ive been wrong my entire life and the other tailors are wrong then i gladly accept her argument. After going back and forth for a while i just paid her and took the coat right back to nordstroms. I dont doubt shes a great seamstress but maybe be a little more open to her customers? read more

I'm so glad I found this place via Yelp. The Korean owner is incredibly nice and works super-fast! I got two pairs of skinny jeans hemmed and a long-sleeved dress altered. She measured everything quickly and efficiently, gave me a copy of the quoted total ($30: $8 for each pair of jeans, and $14 for the dress), and I was out in five minutes flat. Two days later, they were ready for payment and pick-up. I was afraid altering the dress would present problems, since the material is stretchy, but the result was perfect. I'm completely satisfied. Note: be sure to bring cash, since no credit cards are accepted! The Perfect Tailoring store is a bit hidden, so after you enter the Serra Shopping Center plaza, just keep Big Lots on your left. Then make a left at the end of the row, and you'll see it next to Serra Barber Shop. read more

I recently lost a button in the washer/dryer on one of my favorite shirts - I found this place on Yelp and decided to swing by to see if they could donate a button to my shirt. I went on a Saturday, and the owner, and really enthusiastic Korean lady, suggested we move a less used button on the sleeve to replace the one I lost, then replace the moved button with a new button. Unfortunately, I was going to be out of the country on Monday, so I needed it done that day. She offered to have it done in 20min, so I went nearby to grab a sandwich and came back to a completely finished shirt. The best thing was, the new button looked almost exactly like the lost one! When I asked how much, she said no charge! This is what I call service - I have a ton of sleeves I need shortened, so I'll be back soon! read more

Never coming back. Came here two times and both times the seamstress told me to leave and come back later. I had heard such great reviews about her, but she always seems to be so piled up on work. She needs to hire more people to keep up with the demand. read more

I recently had two pairs of dress pants hemmed here. This is a small shop nestled in a similarly small shopping center. I never had any issues finding parking here. As you enter Perfect Tailoring you will notice that its a small operation. It's one large room where you can see everyones clothes hanging on racks, and the single dressing room is behind a curtain next to the counter. Luckily when I came to drop the pants off there weren't any other customers and I got taken care of quickly. I tried the pants on and together we agreed on a good length. The lady working here is very sweet, and also very quiet. I know she can understand English well, but not sure how well she can speak it. Although, hemming pants is a relatively simple alteration so this wasn't an issue for me. When i picked the pants up the woman was helping another girl with alterations on a dress, so unfortunately I didn't get a chance to try my pants on. I paid $18 for both pants. The alteration came out great, all the stitching looked just as good as the original. The woman informed me she could finish them in one day, however I was out of town and had to come a few days later. Sounds like a quick turn around here though. Overall good service and work done here. read more

UPDATED REVIEW: I just dropped off a faux fur vest today and I need it done in 2 days which she accommodated without charge - and she had it ready in time. Maybe she's just too nice and accepts everyone's rush request which is why some of the other orders get pushed back. Anyway, she's definitely redeemed herself and i'm updating the review to 5* :) I'll def come back for the convenience and price, and even if I need items by a certain date, I will still probably come - but just make it known clearly that I definitely need my items by such and such date. BTW - The faux fur vest alteration cost only $35 to take in the sides and shorten the length in the front, I checked another alterations place and they were going to charge me $200?! That's more than the vest even cost... I didn't see any alteration reviews on yelp for "faux fur" stuff so I'll update my review with results after I get it back :) -- FYI, the vest fit great. Will def be back for all my alterations needs! -------------------------------- Alterations here are quick and easy (and cheap!). I'd really like to give a 5 because the tailoring here is excellent but its happened to me 2x that my clothes weren't ready by the time they were supposed to be - and I didn't request rush or anything. Both times I went, none of my clothes' alterations had been started yet. It's not a huge hassle for me because I work nearby so I can come back easily, but if I didn't it could be an inconvenience. Also as others mentioned, the Korean lady's English is somewhat limited. It's usually pretty easy to get your point across and come to an agreement, but if you're doing something complicated, bring a Korean speaking person :P read more

Being on the shorter end of the spectrum, nothing ever fits. Everything is always too long and too big so finding a new tailor. After moving from SF to SJ, I was in search for a new tailor. I love perfect tailoring because the lady is so sweet and always has a smile on her face. Even though her English is limited, she still understands what I need done and always delivers. Prices are competitive for bay area prices and she can get things done within a week. Parking is in a lot and there is plenty of it. Cash only here! read more

Great service and very helpful and friendly with tailoring my work pants I recommend this place cheaper than others

Came here on a recommendation and I'll be taking my stuff here from now on! This was the first time I ever had to get anything altered, but the sweet lady (owner I believe?) helped me through it all! It was quick and easy to get the measurements and then it was ready within the following week. Great service! read more

The Korean lady who works here is concise and straight to the point. You don't need to bargain with her or anything because her prices are very reasonable. I have been here twice, both for wedding event dresses. I had to get one dress taken in, and the other hemmed. I brought them in pretty last minute with only a week to go for the events, but she had no problem turning it around. I didn't even have to pay extra. I will be coming here for all my tailoring needs. read more

I love coming here to get my clothes alter (cause I'm short!) Her turn around time is about 2 days which is pretty good compare to other places that I been too. read more

I spent maybe less than 2 minutes in the shop. Not sure where this "sweet Korean lady" as described in other reviews was; I was greeted with a blank stare that more or less said "what do you want". Maybe annoyed at me for interrupting her work? $ - Asked about hemming and tailoring a pair of pants and was told $20. I said "that might be a little much for me" and she threw her hands up with an "okay" and turned away, not even trying to attempt any business with me. I get that tailoring is honest work and deserves to be paid off as such, but this lady here needs to work on her customer skills. I barely took up any of her time yet was treated with exasperation as if I were a royal pain in the ass customer. Good luck running your business with this kind of approach. I'll take my pants elsewhere. read more

Hi, I came on Jan 02 around 1-2pm ticket number 9**6 for a black pants taper and hem. I tried to call you today but was unable to reach you. I will be leaving the country Sunday. Can you please help me get my pants by tomorrow morning? read more

Got pants tailored for a wedding and they fit great! Fair prices and good work will be back to adjust more clothes.

Very sweet and friendly lady that works here. I've taken a few of my jeans to get the zipper repaired or patching on some holes. She charges very cheap. Charges cheaper then the one across the street. read more

I came here just because my regular alteration place was closed for the day. I was in dire need to get my pants repaired so I found this small place! I was a bit iffy at first because it was a new place, but once I went inside.. the lady smiled at me and said hello (which always makes a good first impression!)! I tried my pants on and I asked her shorten them + taper them a little bit. She said the pants would be ready in two days! I got the pants back not expecting much but they fit perfectly! I've came back here about 2 or 3 times since my first visit, and I might just become a regular :) I highly recommend this place! read more

Service was EXCELLENT! Extremely nice lady. Will definitely recommend to everyone. Brought a dress in to alter, bring it home and find that its still to big, brought it in to the lady to do it again, she didnt wana charge me! And i need it urgently the next day. Gave her a tip at the end of the day for doing it twice! read more

The lady may not speak English very well but she is pleasant and very good at her job. I needed my suit pant altered and an elastic band put on the back so i didn't have a gap when I sit down She did such a good job and very neat work. Will definitely go to her again! read more

After spending whole my life dealing with long sleeves and pants, I have decided to find alternation shop rather than shopping for new clothes. Few things to get altered over last weeks and she did a wonderful job. I am glad I found this place and will definitely take all my pants here from now on. Excellent service, reasonable price, and phenomenal job. read more

It's hard to find a reasonably priced tailor that you can trust with anything. I've gotten chinos, blazers, jeans, button ups tailored here and I've been 100% satisfied with all of it. And the lady that works here finishes tailoring your clothing in a fairly timely manner and can get things done quickly done if it's urgent and you let her know. She's also the sweetest ever. Remember to bring cash. read more

I've been going here for years. Her alterations are always done with precision and in a timely manner!

Pretty bad customer service. Came in here to get a pant altered and to get a few measurements for a shirt. The lady flat out refused to take any measurements for anything other than the alteration work. Needless to say I walked out of there. read more

Got my Halloween costume tailored here and the lady did a really good job. There was this elastic in the chest area that wasn't centered, she even noticed dthat and fixed it too. Only thing is that they do NOT accept credit cards, so make sure to bring cash or a check. The ladty there was super nice, and they got it done in a day and I was able to pick it up the following day if i wanted to. It was also very cheap! only $16 dollars to tailor the dress, granted it wasn't very hard work, but still thought it was very decently priced. Will definitely come back to this place, but will also to remember to bring cash to pay for it!! read more

Brought all types of Clothing here from jeans, jackets, slacks to intricate detailing of bridesmaids dresses and the outcome is always perfect tailoring. Highly recommend. Give this place a try! read more

I've found the best place for alterations in Milpitas. I came in on a Friday to get 2 pairs of jeans tapered. As soon as I walked it, I was greeted by Amy and she had me try on the pairs of jeans so she could pin the areas that needed to be tapered. After agreeing on how I wanted it to look, I gave her the jeans to tailor and she told me it would be done on Tuesday so 2-3 days. The finished product was great and she tailored my jeans perfectly! Will come here again for any future alterations. read more

The owner did quick work on snugging up a dress for me before a friend's wedding. I think she only charged me $10 to take in the bustline -- Serra Tailoring nearby charged me $20 for the same work on a similar dress (I bought two of the same dress with different prints). Would definitely come here again. Finding it: It's a bit stealth but if you see the Chili's on Calaveras, it's almost directly behind it in the strip mall parking lot. read more

I've been a customer for several years now. The lady is always very friendly and professional. She's even made made recommendations on how a particular cut would look. I tried other places prior to finding this gem --high-quality work with reasonable prices. read more
