If I could give them zero stars I would. Terrible terrible terrible people who did an awful job, denied me my refund and demanded me to pay again if I wanted it "fixed" Do not take anything you care about here. I had a one-of-a-kind jersey that I wanted turned into a dress because it was huge. I showed the man a video of exactly what I wanted him to do with this jersey and how to turn it into a dress. All he had to do was cut the sleeves off so up the side and then reattach the sleeve. When I came in to pick it up, the sleeves were not cut, they're two different sizes, the neckline wasn't cut to size and I looked like the background dancers in the goofy movie with the broad shoulders. There's so much bunching in the top since I have smaller breast and I pointed that out on Monday and he just kept repeating "I cut where I pin" anyone can do that. So since he was only going to cut what he pins, which was not our initial discussion, I took the time to explain. Show him the video again. I made it a point to make sure that he was going to be able to do this the way that I wanted before dropping it off because I would've spent more time looking for places that were capable of following instructions. Thankfully, I recorded our conversation and reported it to the Better Business Bureau. They just kept repeating the same sentence over and over again to the point where I started yelling over them and they started calling me crazy because I didn't want them to "fix anything" and I wanted a refund. Still have a destroyed unwearable jersey and no refund. read more

I tried calling for a price range on getting a casual short dress taken in and the guy that answered the phone was incredibly rude. He yelled at me that he needed to see it and wouldn't give me any ranges before making the drive. "I need to see it ok? Is that all? Bye" don't go here. read more

I've used sew fit for years and I've always been happy! They do our work uniforms and sew patches. We do plumbing and I've never had a patch come off. Any issues I had in the beginning he fixed no problem. He is very nice and respectful. I will always recommend and use sew fit. read more

I requested a quilt to be assembled from older sentimental shirts and jackets for my partners birthday. David did a beautiful job sewing it all together & with a quick turn around too. In effort to avoid posting personal info online, unfortunately I can't post a picture of the finished product. But it very well done, with lots of attention to detail. Thank you again! read more

I took my bag in to get a patch sewn on. The gentleman that was at the front desk pinned the patch to the bag so he knew where I wanted it sewn on. He pinned it on crooked so I asked him to make sure to straighten it out before he sewed it. He did not. I returned a week later and the patch was completely crooked. When I asked if he could fix it, he said he could. I left it and picked it up the following day. The patch, still crooked, was moved down so much that you can now see the holes from where it was previously sewn. My bag is now ruined. I will not be returning to this location. read more

DO NOT GO HERE LITERALLY GO ANYWHERE ELSE!! I went to this tailor to hem two pairs of pants for my cousin. They had initially charged $90 for it, which was already high, but I was already there so I decided to continue with their business. They completely ruined the pants!! When we went back to get it fixed, he told us it would be $45 to fix a mistake like that. As if he wasn't the one who made the mistake!! And when we tried to show him the bank statement of this store charging us to show proof that they were the ones who made the mistake, they acted as if that wasn't them. Their name is literally on the bank statement :// I honestly would have been fine paying the high $90 price if they had just agreed to fix the mistake. The fact that they RECOGNIZED the mistake and pretended like it wasn't their fault is what got me. Nightmare tailor. Save your time and your dime and go somewhere where there are actual decent people who deserve to be in business. read more

Terrible service and overpriced. I would give a zero if that was an option. The man clearly doesn't know customer service and is so rude.

Overpriced. Walked in, fitted for a top that needed to be taken in. They priced it at $120. I only spent $70 on the entire outfit (skirt, top, shawl) so I walked right out Went to another place and they did it for $35. Easy choice. She did a great job. read more

I had two tank tops that the straps needed shortening slightly as well as two dresses that needed the straps reattached. I was measured for the tops by a woman and a man rang me up and I was given a ticket and told when they would be available for pick up. When I returned I did not try anything on since I was fitted for the tops when I dropped it off. A few days later when I tried on the tops the straps had been cut and sewn too short. I called and had to go back so they could redo them. Luckily there was enough fabric tucked into the seam that they were able to lengthen them again. Super frustrating to have to go back and have the redone a second time especially after paying almost $80!! The mans didn't even apologize! I definitely would not go back read more

Honestly really weird vibe not welcoming at all, the customer service is not the best and their prices are really high! For the smallest work not worth it. Go somewhere else where they don't charge much for the same work. read more

Definitely don't go here. Tried to get two bottoms altered and they wanted to charge $45 EACH. Okay... fine, sure. But then they didn't alter either of them correctly. Took them back to get fixed and the store owner didn't want to help me. Said I didn't get them done at his shop, and he had taken the receipt so I didn't have that for proof. Pulled up my payment history on my phone and showed them the charge to my bank from THEIR SHOP.... And he still refused and tried to charge me another $45 per bottom to fix the issue. read more

I called them and told them I needed a quick turn around for pants and coat, along with sewing patches on for the coat. Had it done in less than 24 hours exactly the way I needed it. Thank you for your service and professionalism read more

I've been going to Sew Fit for almost 3 years now and they never disappoint. I frequently have to alter my clothes since I'm petite-sized! He makes sure I get my clothes tailored perfectly and makes sure I get it in time. I've gotten dresses, jeans, shorts & skirts done here. They're very accommodating to your needs, and make sure the clothes fit comfortably before they alter it. Sometimes I don't even try it on when I pick up the clothes and just immediately go home coz I know it will fit perfectly haha. Love love Sew Fit and trust them with my clothes :) read more

My husband had a wonderful experience here getting a suit tailored to fit him. It fits him so well. My experience wasn't as smooth as his, but I would still recommend this shop due to their dedication to their work and customer service. I recently came here to get a bridesmaid's dress altered. When we came to drop it off, we were greeted and then they let me know they would have a female seamstress come out to assist me. The bust area was too large for me. The seamstress and I decided to take it in a little on top. It still looked large even with the way it was pinned. She then said she would see the pleats down and that should help. I paid and then left. When it came time to pick up my dress, I tried it on again. It looked odd in the bust area. Again, there was great customer service. There were only men there, so they asked if I could come back the next day and the woman was who worked on it would be there to take a look. I arrived there right at 9am the next day. She took a look and saw what I was pointing out. She determined it was happening because she sewed from the front and through the lining of the dress. She said she would undo the stitching and then sew it so it did not go through the lining. I left and came back about 30 minutes later and tried it on again. It was still off and the sewed down pleats did not look right. She tried to adjust it 2 more times. I ended up leaving with it and decided I would try it on at home again because I needed to get to work. When I got home and tried it on, it still wasn't what I had hoped for. I called the shop, and they said I could come back in. By the time I got there, the seamstress who had been working on it was gone. There was another seamstress, Freida, who was my saving grace. She saw the issues too, and told me she would help. She adjusted some of the stitching and gave me cups to pin into it and gave me advice of wearing a different bra or cup in there too. Overall, I am glad my dress was fixed. The customer service here was top notch through communicating in a timely manner, letting me come back, and them trying to fix the dress. The manager found out I was not completely pleased with my experience, and offered me a full refund, which I very much appreciated. I would recommend this shop for any men's tailoring of suits or jeans, and for a bridesmaids dress. I will come back in the future with another dress that I need hemmed for length. I would recommend this shop purely based off their dedication to making things right and making sure you are a happy customer. Go here if you want to see a seamstress that is skilled, and actually cares about what they give you back. read more

Sew Fit Tailoring & Alterations - Once my dress was finished and good to go - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Orange, California

Yelp rep told me that they would be able to repair a leather purse, but when I arrived at the shop, the tailor said he can't repair leather purses because they don't have the equipment . Would've been nice to know this before driving to the shop. Apparently, the one who responds on Yelp is not the actual tailor who does the work. Maybe need to call the shop directly for repair inquiries . read more

The team at Sew fit are always amazing. They really do go out of their way to make your experience great. They are fast and efficient when taking measurements and will work with you and your schedule to get your garments to you on time. They have saved me a couple times now, and I'm truly grateful! My parents have been coming for years, when I needed a tailor... sew-fit is the place that I too will recommend! read more

I have to tell you is a bit pricey but the service is excellent and their cozy shop is very clean and stylish! They are understandably very busy so the waiting time is longer than usually but again, great service! Highly recommend!! read more

I cannot recommend Sew Fit & Alterations enough! They definitely go above and beyond! I brought my son's suit in where he had ripped the pants. He lives in LA and had taken them to several places and they told him they could not be fixed. Well Sew Fit looked at them and thought they might have to be woven which he was willing to do. However in the end he did not have to do that and they look perfect. He was able to save my sons good suit! Highly recommend! read more

I have never had a better experience with more professional tailors in my life. I brought in unique, antique pieces that were incredibly challenging. The pricing was incredibly low compared to everywhere else I asked for quotes in the area. The work, incredible. Thank you again David & Capri! read more

Came here to get 2 different things tailored/altered: - SO's dress pants. When they finished and we went to pick it up there was slight confusion because we were handed off someone else's pants. My SO tried them on in store (tip: always try on!) and noticed that while the pants were the same color, the size was completely different. They took it back from us and found the correct pants - exact same color, but now the correct size. The alterations looked good though. - My dress. While I was a tiny bit hesitant since there was the confusion over my SO's pants, I did bring my dress here anyway since we liked how they did the pants. I came for 2 separate fittings before they finished, and the end result was very nice. Note cash only! read more

Quick turnaround time. Professional alterations. Decent prices. Welcoming environment.

I just want to give a huge shoutout to David for helping me in an emergency for a failed tailor's work to do the changes I needed for my big day. In such a short notice he was able to deliver and I received the dress by faith that David would make it all happen. And thanks to him, I got to feel confident in my special day. Thank you David!! read more

We had our pool team shirts embroidered and couldn't be happier with the results! The company did a fantastic job matching our team logo and using the exact colors we requested. The work was done quickly, the quality is excellent, and the price was very reasonable. Highly recommend! read more

Be aware do not go to this tailor. First they ruined my sons 2 pair of pants not to mention they charged $90, when we tried to have it fixed the way it was supposed to be man now suddenly doesn't recognize him. So we showed the charge on bank statement and he says sorry but that's not us. It shows their name and they now don't recognize their name? They are a bunch of rip off. read more

Had a dress shirt brought in to let out the sleeves, they did an outstanding job! The lady owner personally called to let me know the work was completed, turnaround time ( just 2 days) was exceptional as well! They take pride in their work, and I will definitely be returning for all my future tailoring and alteration needs. read more

Was strapped on alteration time for my bridesmaid dress. They were quick and straight to the point for what I had asked to be done and also made suggestions that I hadn't thought of. Would definitely use again if ever in the area. read more

I purchased a bustier top in leather I saw on a resale site and discovered it was too big for me to wear as is. Because I hoped to wear it for an event, I looked up tailors near me that could accept leather alterations and Sew Fit came up with great reviews. It's located in a small plaza along Tustin on the way to Trader Joe's and Target. There is a fair amount of parking depending on when you get there - I never had too much trouble trying to find a spot when I dropped off and picked up. I tried on my item and the folks at Sew Fit clipped/pinned the bustier on me so it would fit better, while discussing options for how they could take it in. I went with them cutting up the back and creating new back seams to fit the top with a similar tapered look to the original. They did accept a rush request which was great for my situation. On the day my top was ready, I received a text message and picked it up after work. The top fit much better and the team did a great job with the seams. There was some elastic at the top of the bustier when I bought it, which was still there. I'm not entirely sure if they replaced the elastic, but some pieces felt either stretched out (due to the age of the top) or they could have been twisted in the casing. (I'm sure that could be corrected another time.) Pricing wasn't bad and the folks there were polite and professional. read more

This place is overpriced, and they will rip you off. I love giving small businesses a chance to earn my business and even share my experience with friends and family members. Unfortunately, my experience here is nothing but negative. The pants that they altered were not even the way I wanted them to be, and they refused to fix them without charging twice. This is a good example of how to lose a long term customer. read more

First and last time to store. I requested a very simple waist and inseam alteration on a pair of jeans. I picked up the jeans and attempted to put them on two weeks later and the waist was over an inch too small! I went bank to the shop two weeks later and the "tailor" told me I took too long to bring them back, and that I should have returned 2 - 3 days after pick up. He then "graciously" offered to fix his error, at a cost of $30.00 more! I complained, but he said that if I wasn't satisfied to call the complaint phone number. Atrocious customer service and at every opportunity I will share my negative experience with others. read more

I stopped by to get a summer dress altered after seeing this business on Yelp. I needed the elastic loosened or replaced on both arms of the dress, as well as a slit that needed to be made a little more modest. Ha. I believe Essie is the one who quoted me $35- I felt it was fairly reasonable for the work needing to be done. I picked the dress up yesterday and tried it on- alterations were great. But then I met an older gentleman when I was there, who I had pin 2 items for me- I needed two straps adjusted on a simple jersey dress. Seemed like a simple adjustment. And a tankini that was too long- I needed it shortened. Also what I thought was a simple fix considering the material and simple stitching on it. But he quoted me a whopping $28 for the jersey dress and $25 for the tankini. I was blown away at how outrageous the quote was. Needless to say, I took my items elsewhere. And to be honest, 2 other local places quoted me approximately $12-15 for each fix on the phone. I was initially impressed, but kind of felt conned a bit with the last quotes. (Note- it was not the owner who quoted me those prices.) I just don't get how significant of a price difference it was between Sew Fit and the 2 other places I called. I'm a loyal customer, and do give my business to great places, and I was very happy with my dress that was fixed. But was disappointed with the sky high simple fixes that were quoted to me. As a sidenote, the place I ended up taking my clothes, to is a place I've taken them to many times. I had just wanted to branch out to check out other alteration places in my area. I know they provide quality work, but again wanted to try something new. And as for yelp reviews, to me, they are for not only services provided, but pricing as well for their items. I'm just giving my honest opinion Based on those things that I experienced. Also, I'm not looking for cheap work. Because I know that hard work has gone into alterations. I'm just looking for affordable, since I'm not rolling in dough. And if I can get some alterations, done for a more reasonable price, then that's great. read more

I have been coming here for 2 years and never had an upsetting, distasteful, uncomfortable situation until now. I took my new pair of designer pants to get hemmed , I never wore them prior. I picked them up and they have a noticeable hole on the bottom by the hem area they did. They did not have the hole prior. I went back to tell about the hole they did. David, kept being defensive and said they didn't do the hole and that I did the hole. I kept telling them no I didn't do the hole and that I should get a partial refund or something . He refused and was rude to me. He put the blame on me and said he could glue the hole ? It's not right for me to receive damaged pants and I also noticed the pants were dirty. Will not be returning read more

Once again they do another beautiful job this time on my Hermes Suit. David the master tailor is amazing he's the best. Good turn around times, great measuring, real professional. Thanks David and the team at Sew Fit read more

If you need any garments altered, this is the business to entrust them with. I've had a suit, and coats altered there, and the fit was perfect every time. I recently brought in a leather jacket that needed the sleeves altered. They were a little hesitant due to the weight of the leather. It was ready earlier than they originally committed, and the result was fantastic. The cost was worth the result. They will be my go to tailors for everything. read more

The stitching on the left rear pocket of a pair of shorts had come undone. When I brought the shorts in Saturday morning, I was asked if I wanted same day service, with no surcharge. Not only was the job done well - can't tell the repair work from the rest of the original stitching, but they fixed the other pocket, which was coming loose. What great customer service! I will definitely be bringing my future business here. Thanks so much! read more

Nahid and Essie run this business properly. I brought them a few items to be sewn up. The main work required some patched knit into a favorite track jacket of mine. A job like that should prove facile to the professional tailor. The patches were seen in on schedule, perhaps early if I'm not mistaken, and the overall workmanship was satisfactory. What still stands out to me beyond the evident tailoring quality at this store is the congeniality that Nahid and Essie exude. The polite conversation the staff can carry out here impressed me a quite a bit. They handle the entire transaction with an exceedingly calm and reserved demeanor. They obviously place a premium on the quality of their customer interactions because I have rarely felt so at ease at a tailor or in general. Maybe kindness truly does go a long way. read more

It's a small place and a little hard to find because it's tucked in a corner of the strip mall but parking is okay. The service is very good and the seamstress that fitted my was very professional and attentive to my request. I went to have two pants and a jacket sleeves altered and all the alterations were very done. The prices were reasonable and they texted me a few days later. I have since returned two other times to have my pants altered and each time I was very pleased with the alterations read more

Fast service - Excellent work I needed some pants tailored for a trip. I was late getting things in, but they turned around in two days. Very impressed, very professional, will be back. read more

Convenient and efficient. I brought a bridesmaid dress and it was ready within one week.

I always come to Sew and Fit for my alterations and they come out great. The staff is always welcoming and pricing is reasonable. It seems like they have a lot of repeat customers who also know the staff due to their hospitality. The shop is well kept and they have many times completed my alterations before the date I requested. read more
