I came to Brigette Cleaners and asked if they could sow a button on workpants. The lady asked if it was a missing button. I replied no and these pants had broken clips and I want to have a button put on for more comfortability. She immediately said No, she does not do buttons. I asked if she knew any other place that could provide this service and again, she said No. She did not even look at the type of pants I was referring to. Immediately it was a no. Customer service is poor. I would rate this place a 0 if it was an option. read more

I had two dresses altered. One of which I had completely changed. Here are some before and after photos. They came out perfect and the price was affordable. Thanks for everything! The woman that does the alterations is stern but I think she needs to be. Amazing work. read more

Yes. I brought in a dress for alterations to wear o a wedding and everything turned out perfect.

The bridal shop I purchased my wedding dress from recommended Brigette. Since it was last-minute off the rack & 3 sizes too big, there was quite some work to do on it. Service was a little iffy at first. The main seamstress was confused to why would the bridal shop sell me too big of a dress & that I should have ordered one closer to my size so there wouldn't have to be so much unnecessary work done. I felt a little embarrassed and taken aback by the comment & didn't want to tell her I'm pushing up the wedding so my terminally ill godmother/auntie/ninang/2nd mom with stage 4 lung cancer can be a part of my semi traditional filipino wedding. Also, I wouldn't be patronizing your business if I didn't need alterations done, duuuuuuh. I had a couple fittings done within 3 months of my wedding. I was losing weight & it had to keep being taken in. I knew it was gonna be tricky with restitching the lace lace, shortening & hemming all the layers of tulle, and taking in a corset top that was way too big on me. It all cost me less than $500 including tip. Come the day of, it fit like a glove and I'm very happy with the results. read more

Brigette Cleaners - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - San Bruno, California

Came in to get a quote on how much alterations and dry cleaning would be for a wedding dress. I got an off the rack/trunk show, hayley paige dress for a really good price. The alterations wouldn't have been much to adjust cause it fit me pretty well but it was mainly that I wanted it to get it cleaned so it looked new-new. After she looked at the dress still on the hanger, she asked me how much the dress was... which was a weird question? So I told her and she questioned me like I was lying about the dress and price that I paid for it. And she rolled her eyes at me. I said it's a very expensive dress and she said yes I know a lot of material. After discussing with the lady that was there. She just scuffed and judged and said we can do anything. She said dry cleaning would be about 300 starting and alterations would be 500+. Mind you I didn't even tell her what I needed done nor did I put it on for her to see. She showed me all the other wedding dress she was dry cleaning and they all kinda look the same and definitely did not have the amount of layers and train that my dress had. I was like ok that's great. Yes, ill pay your prices since my dress was so much bigger. I aasked when can you get the alterations and dry clenaing done by cause my thought was to do the alterations first and then have it dry cleaned after. She said it depends when is your wedding and I was like so what is the time frame. And she said it depends on when my wedding date was. I don't have my wedding date yet but I knew it was going to be sometime next year and I asked her what is the turn around time. And she was like it depends cause I get busy here and it depends. So I said oh that's fine can I leave it here to get the alterations done then. But she's like you should so it closer to your wedding. And i asked her how much closer? So I told her it's around May/June of next year and she was like oh Jan cause she would be busy with prom and stuff... so ok. And that will be for the alterations and the dry cleaning after? And then she said this "But I recommend you do the dry cleaning first because the material might shrink and would mess up with the alterations... wait WHAT!? This is a dry cleaner, DRY CLEANERS. Why works the material shrink? After she said that I will NOT be bringing my dress back to this place. I even asked all my gf whose brought their dresses to a dry cleaner to get it cleaned if they have any knowledge of this. Cause I've brought stuff to dry cleaners for the reason that the cloaes shouldn't shrink when it's being dry cleaned.... I would not go to this place if you have an elaborate dress ... cause they don't seem to be as knowledgeable and definitely cannot handle "expenaive dresses? So weird cause their are reviews that are wedding dresses ... and they are great reviews. And I was willing to pay. I don't know maybe they are too busy for my business I guess. read more

I brought my 2 wedding gowns in for alterations and Linda did a phenomenal job! At first, I was a little apprehensive, I didn't know what to expect, since Yelp reviews don't seem the best and since Linda had me come in only 1 month out from my wedding date. But, she surpassed my expectations and was able to flawlessly alter my gowns to my body. She even helped my mom and sister with their gowns as well. All of them turned out stunning. Linda has over 2 decades of experience and knows what she is doing. Based on the quality of work and price - Brigette Cleaners is a 5/5 stars for me. read more

Love Brigette's cleaners. Quick, to the point, and in and out with what I need done. Their staff is skilled and well equipped to get what you need done right. Make sure you have cash because the last couple times I went they didn't accept card! read more

I went here after recommendation by people for a decently-priced seamstress. Although she did a good job and gave great input (like bringing your heels to the appt and about the length itself), I did not know it was cash only and was a bit surprised at how expensive it was. It was $125 for a quick hem and adjusting the straps. Not at all the price I thought it would be. Good turn-around time (2.5 weeks) and a good job overall but too pricey for the location and service read more

Brigette Cleaners - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - San Bruno, California

They are miracle workers here!!!! I had a vintage dress that was WAY too small. I'm talking 3 inches. They were able to somehow add fabric from the lining to the seams and make it a perfect fit. The best part is, you cannot even see where they added anything. It is literally perfect. Cannot recommend this place enough. Very high quality work and transparent about pricing. read more

Linda is the BEST she is so good at what she does I've had her hem and tailor so many of my things and she does such an excellent job. She's also very nice and reliable - never has she said something would be ready and it wasn't. read more

I like this place the lady knows what she's doing I come here for the service not the hospitality and it gets the job done simple as that

Fantastic and consistent seamstress work!!! Been going here for probably a near 20 years and can honestly say I've been pleased with every piece I've brought for alteration. Including my wedding dress which needed a whole bunch of attention! A few other examples . . . a leather jacket, multiple dresses, jeans, and even swimsuits! Wouldn't go anywhere else, even if I could get a bit cheaper. They're quality meets their value. read more

They hem my pants, fix my dresses and fixed my bridesmaid dresses! They are good at what they do

What I'm about to share sounds unreal. I've been going to Brigettes for years. They've always done a good job, but the lady is so rude. I recently brought in a jumpsuit that needed to be hemmed and restructured in the shoulders. She only measured one side of the shoulder and one leg. When the alterations were complete, I tried them on and one leg was an inch longer than the other. She asked me, "why didn't you tell me one of your legs is longer than the other?!" And started going off about how I need to let her know these things. Instead of taking responsibility for the mistake she charged me $10 more so she could fix it! I tried to reason with her.... My legs are obviously not different lengths. But she was adamant and had so much attitude about it. My event was the next day, so I had no other choice but to pay the $10. Don't go here. There's plenty of other good places to get alterations with better customer service. read more

I went in here to get my pcoat altered and this lady was rude from the gate! She kept telling me to go buy a smaller jacket. Didn't ask how she can help me . That's how you treat your customers? Thumbs down! read more

Came here to get a dress from azazie hemmed. It was too long and needed a few inches taken off. The service was quick and friendly. Took two weeks to get my dress back and was only $60. Definitely will bring back clothes in the future! read more

2 of my jackets were ruin. She did the measurements and everything but my jackets cannot be repaired anymore because the cut was very short.... She won't take responsibility and instead blaming me. So please be very careful dealing with her... Very bad alteration..... read more

I was recommended by the store I bought my wedding dress from to use Bridgette Cleaners for the alterations. It was a horrible experience! I had an appointment, walked in and the lady pulled out a child's play mat to change on top of. The ground was so dirty that I didn't want to put my clothes on the floor, or my wedding dress for that matter. As for the alterations, to do a 3 point bustle, shorten the dress a couple inches and add cups it was $575! Which could be the price of a whole new dress elsewhere. The owner even sneezed directly on my clean wedding dress without attempting to cover her mouth. Her mouth was inches from the dress. I asked if she could do any better on the price, and she said no then went around the store pointing to other dresses then ignored me. After she stopped acknowledging me all together, I tried to leave with my dress and she started screaming at me. I came back a couple days later and took the dress somewhere else to be done for less than half the cost and in less than half the time. What a nightmare, I am so glad I went with my gut ad took my wedding dress out of this place. read more

Zero Stars! AVOID this place!! They do not know how to treat customers!! Very rude!! They will not think twice to yell at you! You will feel like shit walking out of this place!! Prices are not consistent! A red flag is that they quote you a price, you're able to leave your clothes/ dress without paying, then when you pick it up, the price is more than initially quoted! Bad business!! They swear they are the only ones in business for alterations!! Trust me, go elsewhere!! read more

Linda is the best! She made alterations for my wedding dress last month. She also made alterations for my husbands suit. Both came out beautifully! read more

I loved my experience here. The staff here are clearly seasoned seamstresses and I felt 100% comfortable leaving my wedding dress in their hands. I'm so glad I did. They altered my wedding dress- perfectly. I couldn't have been more satisfied with the outcome of their services. I would highly recommend these ladies to anyone of my friends or family. read more

I found Brigette Cleaners when searching for a tailor to alter my City Hall wedding dress. I had ordered a "fast fashion" (a.k.a. not fancy) long-sleeved white chiffon maxi dress from LuLu's and both the skirt and sleeves were too long. My dress arrived a bit late so I didn't have much of a timeline to work with. Google Maps showed me that Brigette Cleaners was one of the better options nearby and I didn't deeply investigate the services or reviews. When I showed up, I was asked to put on a mask (no problem!) and put on my dress to mark the alterations. After that, I was asked about a pickup date. The tailor who helped me said that it would be ready in a week; she also said to pay with cash. When I went back a week later (I called to confirm before driving over), the alterations had been completed with perfection. I paid $70 to adjust the length of the skirt and arms - no idea if this is reasonable or not, and honestly I didn't care because it was a last minute detail that I was happy to throw money at. I would return here again for other alterations in the future. I assume the alterations I requested are for more standard attire and not formal gowns - my dress was very inexpensive and there was nothing bridal about it other than the fact that it was white and flowy. Exchanges with the tailor who helped me were pretty straightforward. If you're looking for fun jokes and deep conversations over your alterations, maybe keep searching. If you want alterations completed accurately and on time without the fluff, this is your place. read more

Linda was recommended by Nelly's Bridal and she did an outstanding job. The dress fit perfectly and looked amazing. With so many people getting married this year since Covid made a lot of people such as myself have to reschedule the wedding in 2020, she was able to pull it off. The dress was ready on time even with her heavy work load. I've used her before and this just proves she's the go to person for Alterations. I HIGHLY recommend her. Thank you read more

I needed my wedding dress altered from a size 12 to a size 4/6. I was in a time crunch and needed it within 3 weeks. The seamstress suggested I size down but I didn't have time to order a new gown for the wedding. The dress was full of beading and tulle but she was able to bring it down to my size and bustle it. She had fair pricing and moved quickly. I went in at the end of October and she had the dress ready for me within 3 weeks. I highly highly recommend her. I was worried that she wouldn't be able to size the dress down enough without losing the pattern but she was able to!! I can't say enough good things about her. read more

I can not say enough good things about Brigette's Alterations. I arrived a few days ago for my sisters wedding from the East Coast and needed to get my bridesmaid dress altered. I had ordered the dress 5-6 months ago, but had it shipped to another sisters house in my home state. I did not try on the dress until a few days ago, and that's when I realized that this size 10 dress made in China was more like a size 6!!! My procrastination and busy life style led to this clusterf%$&! Lol....but let me tell you the ABSOLUTE MAGIC they worked on this dress in 2 days. Thank you, thank you for helping me turn what was a nightmare into a beautiful occasion to celebrate with my sis! I will never forget your generosity! read more

Linda is fantastic! She's altered a gown I had to wear for a wedding and it was beautiful. She will even suggest other adjustments just to make sure that it fits beautifully. I can trust her with all of my clothing that needs alterations. Very reasonable pricing and Quick! read more

Always impressed with their service and craftsmanship. These ladies are all very talented, and I always leave very happy. Price is fitting for the quality service they give. I have been a customer for 10 years and they are the only shop that alters my clothes. read more

I brought a dress to Brigette Cleaners for alterations and it was a terrible experience. After receiving a way over-priced quote, (I went to two other alterations places prior) I asked simple questions about the alteration options and cost and she ignored me. She stopped acknowledging me and walked away to help another customer. I'm so glad I did not leave my dress with her because not only does she rip you off, she does not seem to genuinely care about her customers and I would not want to entrust my dress in the hands of someone like that. Do not come here unless you want to get ripped off, overpay and treated horribly. read more

I am so glad the store where I found my wedding gown recommended Brigette Cleaners for alterations, because Linda is an expert at what she does! Within moments of the start of my first fitting and with just a few pins, she made my dress look and fit better in ways I hadn't imagined it could improve. I had 3 visits total: an initial, a follow-up (to confirm the hem length once I had my shoes), and the final. She was always efficient but very mindful of details, and double checked frequently to make sure everything was exactly how I wanted it. My biggest concern going in was that my dress had beading, sequins, and lace in the areas she needed to alter. She explained she would need to remove them and reapply them by hand. That said, she still completed the alterations within just 5 weeks, and the final result looked amazing. I'm very grateful to Linda for the care she took with my dress and would definitely return for her help for any important alterations in the future. read more

These ladies are amazing! I brought my wedding dress in here to be altered (by recommendation of a friend) and I was not disappointed!! My dressed needed to be taken up and hemmed majorly - since I am 5'2. They did a wonderful job making sure the bodice fit perfectly as well! I was largely in fear of quality and cost, mainly because I've heard so many horror stories about wedding dresses being butchered by alterations people. Need not worry - they are amazing, through and through. read more
