Thank you Yelp! After leaving another alterations place and sitting in my car feeling VERY disheartened about needing fast alterations on my wedding dress...I found Brides & Alterations. I called them, and went right over...they're in the Better Buzz Coffee strip mall, tucked away in the corner. As I walked in, I met Anabel...and we instantly recognized each other from when I used to bring my things into Pleats! The day was saved! Anabel has the fastest hands on the planet...before I knew it, everything was pinned, final fitting was scheduled just to make sure I was happy with the changes, and then it would be steamed, pressed, and ready to go! I'm so happy to have reconnected with Anabel and thrilled she has her own place now! She's the sweetest and most experienced seamstress you'll find! Go support her business! read more

This was my first time coming here, and the staff were so sweet and helpful with my bridesmaid dress. I requested alterations to the length and helped me determine where we should have the length of my dress. They had a fast turnaround and completed everything in about a week. The quality of the work was great, and the dress fit much better afterward. read more

I truly can't say enough good things about this place! The woman up front had the most incredible energy .. she was so kind, positive, warm, and just radiated such a welcoming presence. I had my baby with me and quite a few things to carry, and she even went out of her way to help me all the way to my car. It was such a small gesture that meant so much and honestly exceeded all of my expectations. By far the best experience I've ever had at an alterations place. I will absolutely be coming back and recommending them to everyone! read more

I got a very formal, sequin evening gown & mens pants taken in (a lot!). Unfortunately I didn't take pictures, but they were so perfect, you would think we bought them this way! The fit was amazing and were ready in record time! The owner is super sweet and is like a 3rd or 4th generation seamstress so is fast and definitely knows her stuff. Highly highly recommend!! read more

My dress fit like a glove perfectly on me! I appreciate the team here that I got to work with. They were very open to feedback and we had multiple sessions to ensure the dress would be ready for the wedding. Not sure what the normal price range is for alterations but it was worth it! Bustle was done and buttons not noticeable when dress was fluffed. The staff are also so friendly and would make my day read more

After my first visit, I'm thoroughly impressed! Anabel was wonderful to work with--very knowledgeable, professional, and helpful in offering different options. She made the entire experience comfortable and easy. The shop is clean and modern, and she truly makes everyone feel important when they're standing on the alterations stage. Prices are very reasonable, and the turnaround time is impressively quick. I'm looking forward to coming back for my second fitting and seeing the results of her alterations. Highly recommend! read more

As the mother of a bride, I had the opportunity to see firsthand the incredible care and talent that Anabel brings to her work. From the very beginning, she was warm, professional, and exceptionally knowledgeable. Watching her work on my daughter's wedding dress gave me complete confidence that it was in the best possible hands. Her attention to detail is remarkable, and she offered thoughtful guidance throughout the alteration process. It was clear that she has years of experience and truly cares about her clients. Most importantly, she made my daughter feel comfortable, confident, and excited about her special day. Seeing the finished result was amazing--the dress fit beautifully and looked absolutely perfect. I would highly recommend Anabel to any bride looking for a skilled, trustworthy, and genuinely caring seamstress. She is a true professional and a pleasure to work with. read more

They also alter non-wedding dresses! Had my pants hemmed and my pleated skirt adjusted at the waistline at a reasonable price :)

This place is great! Wish I would've found them sooner. I have so many pants I wasn't wearing regularly because they were too long. Found this place right next to my Pilates studio and have brought in several pair of my pants. They do a great job! It always smells so good in there and they are so sweet and friendly. Highly recommend for alterations! read more

Loved my experience at Amazing Fit. I had 2 fittings and my dress could not have been more perfect for my special day. Thank you!! I will be back to get it hemmed for an anniversary dress . I'll share updated photos when I receive more photos back. read more

Ceci and Anabel went above and beyond--not just in their service, but in the incredible value they brought to my entire bridal experience. As my wedding day neared, I gained a little more weight than expected, and they lovingly altered my gown--more than once--without hesitation or judgment. Their patience, skill, and compassion reminded me that true value isn't just in the price of a service--it's in the way people treat you when it matters most. Because of them, I felt confident, comfortable, and truly beautiful walking down the aisle to marry my high school sweetheart. What they gave me was priceless--and I'll never forget it. read more

I've been meaning to write a review of the amazing seamstresses that helped me with my wedding dress. We were on a bit of a time crunch, and they did a wonderful job on my dress. They were both so knowledgeable and always had a smile on their face while pinning the dress, fitting and second fitting etc. My dress looked perfect! Most recently I needed a dress altered as a bridesmaid and once again they did a beautiful job! Would recommend this spot to anyone looking for superb work, great prices for great quality. Thank you Amazing Fit for doing such a wonderful job! read more

Perfect alterations. The dress itself didn't need much but they added a bustle and holder to it so it was easier for dancing, etc.. Amazing fit for sure!!! Please go here if you need anything! read more

Incredible service at a great price! I'm so glad I discovered Amaxing Fit for all of my tailoring needs in San Marcos!

Let me tell y'all... I had a whole meltdown when they sized me at a 20 I was ready to throw the whole dress AND the whole day away. But God sent me an angel with a measuring tape and a whole lotta patience! Thank you to my incredible seamstress for not only fixing my dress, but fixing my spirit too. You snatched, tucked, lifted, and loved on that gown until it fit like it was made just for me. And baby, I felt like a QUEEN walking down that aisle because of YOU. You didn't just alter my dress, you altered my confidence. I'll never forget it. Forever grateful #FromSize20ToSnatched #GodBlessTheSeamstress #WeddingAngel #StillDoStillFine read more

Thank you so much, Anabel!! The alterations I received (shortening a dress) were very well done, and the work was efficient and affordable. Anabel was super knowledgeable, made me feel very comfortable, and was very respectful of my limited time. Thank you again for the very quick turnaround on the dress (about 48 hours). Will come here again for any future alterations. read more

I will never trust any other tailor or alterations expert in North County. The ladies at Amaxing Fit are incredible. They helped a teary-eyed, stressed out bride fix a too-big wedding dress last minute and look beautiful on her wedding day. They also did a beautiful job on my elopement dress. In the year and a half since then, they have altered a bridesmaids dress for me and several other casual garments. Their prices are reasonable and customer service unmatched. To say I love and appreciate them is an understatement. I will never go anywhere else, ever! read more

Annabelle and Cece were such a delight to work with. I knew the moment we started my first fitting for my wedding dress that was in good hands. They went over all the adjustments with me, pinned my dress as well. I felt so confident and comfortable in my dress on my wedding day. I would highly recommend coming here for your important alterations, high quality of work with wonderful and kind people. Thank you! read more

If I'm leaving a review and giving 5 stars you can definitely believe they did an outstanding job ! So friendly and professional. They changed my dress completely transformation ! Love it thank you ladies read more

Always great work, which I really appreciate as I have had a hard time finding he a reliable tailor.

Absolutely wonderful customer service, such kind ladies who are always so helpful whenever I come in! Would highly recommend to any brides or others like me who just needed a few every day clothes fixed up :) read more

Brides and alterations is formerly known as "Amaxing Fit". Although the company's name has changed, the original owner (Anabel) and the superior customer service she offers remains the same. I have been using and trusting Anabel with all my tailoring needs for over five years. Being a 30 year Marine veteran, I have come to appreciate the important role that precise tailoring plays in creating a professional and impressive looking appearance. Just last week, I brought in a suit that I needed tailored. Like always, Anabel greeted me and took my measurements in the same professional yet personable manner. A few days later, Anabel called to let me know that my suit was ready for pick up. When I tried it on, my suit fit in the same perfect and precise manner that my Marine Corps uniforms used to fit. Brides and Alterations is a great local business owned by a local business owner who takes pride in providing the kind of great tailoring that makes you feel like were her brother, sister or a favorite family member and not just another customer. read more

Sissy and Anabel were absolute gems!! I got two of my wedding dresses altered here, and I went in once a week for four weeks in a row until my wedding dress was perfect for me. They were so patient and kind with my requests. They are very professional and know what they are doing. They even made a dress for my dog with scraps from my one of my bridesmaid's dresses free of charge. I absolutely love them and will keep coming back for my other alterations. Thank you Sissy and Anabel for making my wedding dresses so PERFECT! read more

Anabel & her team took care of my bridesmaid & I since the summer. Anabel has such an infectious personality & I see why her clients gravitate towards her. Even my husband got his suit done by her. She's quick, efficient & will provide honest feedback. &that's what we need! During the pandemic & a postponed wedding - I gained the quarantine 15. I was frantic & embarrassed to find someone who will help resurrect my dress. She was able to add a Corset/lacing in the back & cinched my dress to accentuate my curves. She made the process very comfortable during each fitting. My girls are a handful & crazy - she managed to tailor their dresses to fit their needs so quickly too! We love her! read more

I purchased a cheap wedding dress online (Lulus) that was a generic size in an A line cut. I brought my dress here to have it taken in around the hips and anywhere else to make it more of a trumpet style. Everyone that helped me was so kind. They listened to what I envisioned and provided suggestions and helped me achieve exactly what I wanted. If I have a need for any more alterations I will go back for sure. So grateful. read more

These ladies are absolutely amazing! Ceci is so talented and her work shows! I brought my wedding dress to get altered and on my second appointment I couldn't believe how beautiful the alterations were done. The prices are respectable for the work and talent these ladies have. I would 100% recommend them. read more

I want to give a higher rating, but sadly these ladies lack professionalism. You can go elsewhere, pay the same thing and not risk the chance of being gaslit (it was the week before my wedding when I was going to pick up my dress). It is such a long story and I honestly don't want to relive it through this review. They made an honest mistake but instantly blamed the fabric and said it was cheap. They left me with no resolution and refused to reimburse me for the damage they made. They raised their voice at me an accused me of "making them work for free", after I had already paid for the entire service but was hoping for some kind of restitution for having to replace the damaged item. read more

Amazing alterations shop. We were recommended to go here when we had a wedding dress emergency and got a new dress only 2 weeks before the wedding. They were so fast with the alterations and so accurate with the measurements. They were super helpful with giving input for what would look best and how to make the dress fit perfectly. I am so happy with my dress and the alterations they did. I would highly recommend this shop for your wedding dress alterations. I had a cathedral style train that they beautifully bustled under the dress to look like it was a floor length dress all along, and kept the modern clean look of the dress. I am so happy with their work! read more

I wish there were 10 stars!; went in to have a very expensive jacket repaired. The sleeve buttons had come loose and I tried to fix it. Well I went to Amaxing Fit to repair it. The owner took out my mess up and repaired it perfectly.. And she said no charge!; what an Angel!! I will always go here..Can't believe she did this for free! read more

Oh my goodness! These ladies are so sweet and kind. I got my wedding dress altered here. Although it was a complicated designer dress, I had complete confidence in them. I went in not even thinking it needed to be altered to my body that much, but as soon as she pinned it on me, it was indeed an Amazing Fit!! The dress fits me like a glove and I can't wait to wear it on my wedding day! Prices are reasonable and their customer service is amazing! Do not hesitate to see them!! read more

I highly recommend this place for your alternations. I was in a panic because I needed to get my wedding dress altered quite a bit from the bottom and I was in a time crunch! But these wonderful ladies did it in record time! Customer service is great and they texted me as soon as my dress was ready for pickup and had it ready a day earlier than what was promised. I believe the woman who helped me was named Anabel, she was so sweet and reassuring that it would all get taken care of in time and it was! :) read more

I needed a custom-made shirt for my daughters Fourth of July parade. I brought in the materials and she was able to create exactly what we wanted! It came out beautifully, and she had it ready very quickly. This place is wonderful! read more

Annabelle & Cece are absolutely amazing at what they do. I brought them my wedding dress that had a lot of complicated 3D flowers and corset style top. They worked meticulous to ensure the fit was perfect. My dress turned out beautifully, and it was everything I could have asked for and more. They even provided their expertise on where to bustle the dress/ taught my mother how to tie the bow and bustle it. I would highly recommend Amazing Fit for all of your bridal and special occasion alterations. They are so sweet and are experts in this field!! read more

These ladies were the most incredible team. Not only are they quick with their turnaround time, but they have so much talent! Every interaction left me feeling cared for while they helped make an 80+ year old silk wedding gown fit for a modern body. I literally trusted them with a handmade dress from my grandmother and they returned it to me in incredible shape and fitting every inch of my body for my wedding day. I will be turning to them for any tailoring in the future and cannot recommend them enough! Thank you for everything! read more

These ladies are the most amazing!! I bought my wedding dress before I was pregnant and we postponed our wedding until after my baby was born. Well my breast were not what they were before these ladies were able to basically reconstruct the top to give me the support I need but also keeping the dress beautiful! They're fast and very accommodating! Not to mention extremely affordable!! read more
