I had 2 jackets that needed to be taken in on the sides. The lady that helped me was super nice and I could tell she was very knowledgeable. She recommended tapering the width and she was correct. Now both my jackets fit me like a glove! Work was done super fast. read more

My husband was charged $450 to alter two pairs of pants and two suit jackets. Appalled by the price, I went back to collect the items and request a refund. I ultimately received a refund after making another trip as she required I have my husband's card for the refund. She offered a store credit, however; I have no intentions of ever going back. read more

I walked in and dropped off 3 pairs of dress pants to be hemmed. It was quite pricey at $28 a pant. The woman in front said it will take 2 weeks to finish the job and to call the day before to check if they are done. I called the day before (yesterday) and no answer and left a voicemail. Today was the ready by date. I went to pick up the pants around 9:45am they were not done and not even started on. The woman Sammy said to come back at 11 am but I said don't rush so she said come back around 1pm. I came back around 12:44pm since they close at 1pm. Pants were not done so she told me to come back in 20min. I walked around CVS and Luckys a bit then came back around 1:05pm and waited in the store another 25 minutes. So pants were done at 1:30pm, 30minutes after closing with me waiting in the store. The hemming was fine, though I don't know if they got two of the pant inseams a little longer than requested but I was so annoyed by all the waiting and going back and forth that I don't want to say anything or go back. Seems like they are short staffed and even regular customers are having delays also. I need to get my own sewing machine so I can do it myself instead. read more

Over the years this shop has done excellent work on alterations for slacks, suits, dresses even torn shirt repairs. However I am forced to downgrade for timeliness as they seem to wait to last minute to finish the job. On more than one occasion I have arrived to pickup my clothes only to be told "we are still working on it, come back at 5pm". read more

I dropped off two vintage items, a vintage smock, and a vintage dress. I asked for the smock to have the sleeves removed. The woman pinned it indicating what was to be done. I vintage dress I wanted the arm holes made larger. Again, she marked these with pins. I dropped these off in the middle of May. I am just picking them up today. After multiple attempts to pick them up twice, nothing had been done to either garment even though they said they were done. Today I picked up my vintage dress where I only wanted the sleeves made larger. The dress is now ruined. Because they shortened the straps and made the arm holes larger so now the front of the dress fits incorrectly. Multiple times I had to go back to try to get my garments fixed. Each time the woman would laugh, giggle and make no attempt to make this right. Each alteration was $53. I felt this was high, but I had always heard. They did great work and it would be worth it. Each time I went in I told them how disappointed I was and how frustrated I was because I missed wearing the dress to one function and now I can't use it at all. There's no offer for a refund or an expedited service. I will never use this company again. The woman who helped me was so nice in the beginning and I felt very comfortable dropping my items off. The minute thing started to go wrong. The customer service was gone. Sina wasted $106 and can only use one of the items. read more

I was given 3 weeks for the alterations and told to call before picking them up. When I called on the due date, they weren't ready. they hadn't even started! I was told to come back at close of business that same day, but they still weren't finished when I came. I ended up waiting a bunch. A total waste of my time. When I tried the garment on, it didn't look right. Maybe it was an impossible alteration or maybe it was extremely rushed--I don't know. She made a few more adjustments, but then handed it back without giving me a chance to try it on again. There was no apology, discount, or acknowledgment of the inconvenience. Unfortunately, this experience lost my business. i was a very loyal customer too. read more

Super nice lady! She helped me out and was so professional. She had my dress ready within a week. Amazing hem work and I think reasonable price!! Will come again and recommend to others read more

If you're in need of a great tailor, Sammy is it! Sammy has perfectly tailored about 12 pairs of my jeans now (with the original hem). You can't tell they were tailored AT ALL. The price was on the higher side ($36 per pair), but ultimately worth it to have a great pair of jeans! My husband has had multiple pairs of his LEO uniform pants tailored as well-- again, on the higher side ($96 per pair to tailor the waist and leg widths), but the work was perfect! So far, all of our items have been able to be picked up on time! No complaints here. read more

LOVED coming here and will come again! Sammy is SO sweet and accommodating! I had a bridesmaid dress that I needed to alter in a pinch. I ordered a little later than I should have. The dress was probably one size too big for me, and Sammy helped me out! She is super knowledgeable; she helped me pin the dress to my perfect measurement. She promised to finish my dress by the time of the wedding, which she did! When I tried on the dress, it fit PERFECTLY and you can't even tell it was altered! No weird lines or frayed fabric! Highly recommend coming here to get your alterations done! read more

We had two dresses altered for my daughter's prom, and the experience was wonderful. She was invited to another school's prom that required a dress code with no sleeveless styles, so we needed to add ribbon straps to one of the dresses. For her second prom, she wore a special vintage piece -- the dress I wore to a fraternity formal back in 1995! Since it was originally too small for her, they added panels to the sides to make it fit, and it turned out beautifully. The tailor did a fantastic job on both dresses, and my daughter looked absolutely stunning! read more

Absolutely amazing customer service! This business saved our son's and his friends day. Problem with measurements but she helped us out. Thank you Made to Fit, that's how you run a successful business! read more

I had a last-minute urgent alteration for a pair of pants and they were able to take care of this quickly and at a fair price.

Great craftsmanship and service!! Very professional and timely and everything always fits so beautifully when done.

Sammie saved the day! I was leaving for a wedding and the zipper on my brand new dress broke. I was able to get it fixed in record time. They always do beautiful work and take great care of their customers! read more

I am thankful that I live in the Bay Area. The weather, the green hills (for a short time during the year), the sceneries, the foods, and Made To Fit (or more accurately, Sammy, its owner)! I've been going to Made To Fit for at least five years now and I can tell you that this shop is very aptly named. I'm petite, so most of my nice clothes needed to be altered. Nice clothes usually come with a not so nice price tag, or come from far away places that require long haul flights. For those reasons, I only trust my nice clothes to Sammy - and I have never been disappointed. During all those years, I only asked Sammy to adjust her work once (Once! Even as I am writing this, I still can't believe it!). Other than that one time, she always got things perfect and right for me. People (actually only one person, but who's counting?) had told me I'm a sophisticated woman, to which I chuckled in response. I'd like to think of myself as stylish with a mix between classic and trendy. I got compliments for my outfits a lot - but I'm fully aware I can't be that stylish without Sammy. I brought in my clothes, had an idea and bounced it off of her. Other times, I let her tell me what needed to be done. I always agree with her because her counsel (yes, that's how highly I think of her opinions and advices) is always spot on. She is a great stylist herself, with an eye for details. Another time, another place, she could have been a designer - and can be if she wants to (I'm rooting for her - it's International Women's Da Sammy's bedside manner is as great as her skills and expertise. Because her shop is very popular and her work is sought after, there will be a wait. So if you want great results, please be patient and plan ahead. Because Sammy is worth it! Thank you Sammy - I honestly don't know what to wear without you and your beloved shop! read more

Sammy is the sweetest lady ever! She got me in right away to get my dress altered and I didn't have to make an appointment. I was so worried about getting my wedding dress altered because it's a lot of less and could easily be messed up. As soon as I put it on Sammy knew exactly what to do and got straight to pinning. She made sure to communicate with me if she needed more time on the dress but it was still done well in advance before my wedding which worked out because I lost weight and needed it taken in more (which was no problem for Sammy)! The dress looked AMAZING and you couldn't even tell it had been altered. Sammy is also just such a kind soul and I will be taking all of my alteration needs to her from now on. She's magical at her work and makes you feel so welcome. I love her! read more

I had a hard time finding places on yelp that had recent reviews for men's suit alterations. I ultimately decided to take a chance here based on reading how helpful Sammy, the owner, is. Those reviews were right! Her shop is also a nicely setup and professional alteration shop with full length mirrors. Sammy knew exactly what needed to be done and asked me questions throughout the process of what I thought and gave options and suggestions. She asked if I wanted a European or traditional cut on the suit, didn't know what that meant, and she showed me each option. She suggested other items that I didn't even think about as well to make sure I looked great in my wedding suit. Ultimately, I did 5 alterations on my 3 piece suit: jacket size reduction with European cut, jacket sleeve hem, vest size reduction, pant waist reduction, and pant leg hem. All these items ended up costing $217 which was surprisingly high, and the reason for the loss of a star. The most expensive items were the vest reduction and jacket size reduction/European cut both at about $60-$80 each. Regardless, I accepted knowing it would come out great. My suit fit perfectly!! I couldn't believe how well it fit even with the fitted/slim finish. I felt great in my wedding suit, it was a hit, and everything was well done. read more

I dropped two brand new blouses off for front darts adjustments, same blouse,different color,. They altered some things prior so was expecting normal good alterations. These blouses weren't needed urgently so I gave 2 weeks . She called 3x! to extend time another week or 2 weeks to do them. I allowed these because they weren't urgent and she told me all kinds of reasons for delays -mostly her main sewer was on long vacation...and I wanted to help her. I went to pick them up and one of the dart repairs was way off so she said she would fix it and to pick up next day. I checked the dart repair then and there was a hole, yes an actual visible hole !, at the top of the dart ! Blouse was very light pink and that part of the dart was right on the front chest! NO way to hide or fix that. She said she hadn't noticed it as she hadn't checked it before giving it to me. what?!!! I asked her for a refund for the work not done and refund for the blouse ($27), she refunded for work not done but not for the now ruined blouse. I realized she had been asking me for extensions because of our good rapport and thought she could get away with it, which she did. I asked her why she would ruin a great business relationship like that?!!! she didn't respond, just looked down and unengaged. I see another reviewer commented she would arrive to pick up her order to be told to come at 5pm-which also happened to me a couple times, before the blouse incident. She is untrustworthy for doing any work on my clothes nor reliable or honest in her business practices! read more

tldr; I paid $28 for them to ruin a pair of pants when they should have explained that the pants wouldn't be wearable based on their limited skillset. Condescending - called me sweetie several times and doubled down instead of doing the right thing and refunding for a piss poor job. I really wanted to support this local business, but they completely disrespected my time and business. I dropped off two of my husband's work pants to see if they could be salvaged as one of them needed a zipper and another was developing small holes. They woman who came to the counter -- Sammy? -- she said they could fix those and I pointed out the areas where the pants needed reinforcement. She looked a little skeptical as to why I wanted those pants saved, but I had gone by all the reviews on Nextdoor that made her sound like an amazing seamstress. I've gotten clothes fixed and altered for years, so I decided to give her a chance at $28 per pair of pants. I was surprised at how long the job would take -- 3 weeks? OK, but they have a good reputation, so I will go with the flow. I came a few days later after the ready date on my receipt, but they were not ready. She asked me to come by in a few hours, but I didn't want her to rush, so I told her I'd come by the next day. And what I got was a smile and a total f*ck you job. If she couldn't salvage the pants, she should have been honest and told me. I don't care if a business is struggling in the pandemic - everyone is working hard for their money, and there is no excuse to take a job when she knew she'd produce a pair of pants that is not wearable. I asked her how these pants are even presentable - she called me sweetie several times and insisted that she'd told me she would use the zig zag stitch. Well, Sammy, you are the expert and describing what you'd be doing - not having the skillset to salvage the pants and just making ridiculous zigzag stitches - would have been the right thing to do instead of taking $28. I felt so deprioritized - she was doing 2 week jobs for other customers. My husband just laughed and shook his head when he saw his pants. Clearly Made to Fit have other loyal customers but for newcomers to Danville - think twice about giving them your money. There are other seamstresses with amazing skills and better turnaround time. read more

With less than a week until my wedding, I needed to fix a bad alterations job on my reception dress. It is impossible to get a fix that quickly. After hearing my story, Sammy reached out to help. Not only did she flawlessly fix the dress but she altered it exactly the way it should have been done by the first alterations shop. Thank you, Sammy, for helping me. You are so kind and caring. The dress was absolutely stunning on my wedding day! read more

Very expensive!!! In the past 3 years I have used Made To Fit countless times. I have noticed that their prices have gone up, but not just by a little. What would normally cost $100-$160 is now around $250. For the same type of alteration I now use B-Line cleaners on Hartz Ave. I can always expect the same amazing result time after time. read more

She's the best! I came in with a several pants to tailor and needed a quick turnaround for 2 of the pants before the Thanksgiving Holiday. She was so accommodating and professional. She's also the nicest and most down to earth. Just good people. I don't write many comments, but I felt compelled because she and her shop is so deserving. Thank you!!! read more

Great to see ther are still businesses like this out there. Had an emergency and they really came through for me and did a fantastic job with a quick turn around. Services and work reminds me of when Nordstroms had onsite tayloring. I looked into other places and found this one to be the best and I will go here form now on. read more

Accommodating! What a pleasure to walk into a business for the first time, be greeted with a smile - despite how busy they are - and feel like you are getting personal service. It's rare these days. Then when you pick up your item & the fit is PERFECT...as requested the very first time - also rare these days. Great value, so worth it & easily recommended! I need to find more pieces of clothing to bring to them!!! :) read more

I've been getting my clothes altered here for several years. In the last several months I've been going thru a lifestyle change and have been losing a lot of weight (45 pounds as of today). I've had to get a lot of my pants altered and they have always done an excellent job at a reasonable amount of time. Yes, the prices are a bit high but we are in Danville. I've only had good experiences and when they are busy I understand. They are my go to for tailoring in the area. read more

I took two dresses to be altered to Made To Fit. Owner, infomed us that one of their seamstressed had gone to Vietnam and they were behind on orders. She stated that my dresses wouldn't be ready for at least 3 weeks. I had my daughter stop by to pick them up a few days after the 3 week hold. However, they we not ready, she said she would get them ready in 24 hours. I called thank goodness this AM to check on the. Oh, I'm so sorry they're not ready due to "Home Coming" dresses. WTH. I told her that I paid for the alterations 3 plus weeks ago. Had I known they wouldn't be ready on the date I waited for I would have taken them elsewhere. Plus, she never called to inform me that they still were not ready. Very nice woman, but they lack good business sense. So disappointed with them and their lack of professionalism. I also support local busineses but this is not good! read more

Sammy is both professional and kind. She is accommodating and is focused on the details. Every single alteration has been perfect and has exceeded my expectations. You get what you pay for and Made to Fit is worth every penny. Made to Fit has my business every time! read more

Thank you, Sammee for coming to the rescue! Sammee saved my botched dress and turned it into this sexy number ;) I came to her store frantic right when it opened, and it was ready by 2:00pm! She really came through for me and helped me so much because the event I needed it for was the next day - Valentine's Day. I am so lucky to have crossed paths with this woman. She fixed my breast cups (placed them inside the dress to not be seen) and the crooked slanted slit from the first alteration. One day when and if I get married, I will be coming here to get my dress altered. Not only did she do a huge last minute favor for me, but is overall very warm, kind, honest and personable. I felt this energy right when I walked in the door of Made to Fit. read more

This is an update to a review I did years ago. Sammy (the owner) continues to be my favorite small size business in Danville. Because of covid it has been a struggle for her (as well as everyone) to get/retain accomplished seamstresses. I recently brought in a dress that needed a new zipper (hey, it's the covid 15). She completed it on time, she did a fantastic job & remains pleasant ALWAYS. You may need to allow more time to complete vs pre-pandemic but her workmanship is superior. Thank you once again. read more

I dropped my daughter's skirt off on May 30, 2022 to have the waist taken in. I was given a pick up date of June 22. Which was excessive. 23 days to take in a skirt! I waited until June 24 (2 days after the due date) to pick up the skirt. On June 24, the owner told me that the skirt was not done. She told me to come back at 5 PM on the same day. The store would be closed, she said, but she would be working in the back. Just call her and/or bang on the door and she would bring the skirt to me. I went back at 5 PM on June 24. I called her. No answer. I banged loudly on the door. No one would answer. I could see people in the back--they just ignored me. They were closed until June 27. I went on June 27 and picked up the skirt. So 1 month and 6 days to take a skirt in. 3 attempts at pickup. Were there any apologies or discount for the service? Nope. Take your business elsewhere! read more

They are super friendly and accommodating and do great work. Some items seem a little pricy, but you get what you pay for.

It was just as we were opening up from the pandemic and suddenly proms were on, but despite being short on help and lots of demand, my dress for my Suns wedding was altered perfectly and on time. I asked for a special type of sleeve to be made from the hem material, and it turned out better than I could have imagined. I will always bring anything I need altered here from now on. Thank you! read more

This is the first YELP review I've ever written and I can't think of a more deserving review. My sister in law referred me to Sammee at Made to Fit. Sammee is not only talented, she's hard working, perfectionistic and personable. I brought my wedding gown to her 2 weeks before our wedding. It needed a lot of alterations, including redoing the lace scalloping at the bottom, bringing it in, shortening the straps, and adding a bustle. She finished the dress earlier than I asked and let me try it on multiple times until I felt it was made to fit and oh boy...was it perfect! I've never felt so beautiful. Thank You Sammee!! read more
