The service and craftsmanship is top notch. It's a pleasant experience every time I come in for an alteration.

David and his team were amazing! I came in with a last-minute emergency alteration. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating. I went to several other places before a friend recommended him, and he was the only one willing to help/ help for a reasonable price. I was so happy that he was able to complete this with such a quick turnaround. I love my cropped jacket, and so many people stopped me to ask where it came from. Will definitely return. read more

If you don't read any other review, please read this one: Make it Fit Alterations ruined my wedding dress one week before my wedding. I never leave bad reviews, but the nightmare I endured at this shop forces me to share my experience. Almost two months before my wedding, I dropped off my gown for some basic alterations. Namely, hemming the bottom and adjusting the straps. After the second or third fitting, I knew that irreversible damage had been done to my dress. The pictures speak for themselves: I've labeled the pictures accordingly. Their work completely altered the structural integrity of the torso, causing it to stay perpetually wrinkled and choppy. I brought in an elegant dress, and was handed a sloppy one. No amount of steaming or starching could address this (believe me, we tried). They did not know how to work with the material, and were dishonest about their expertise. The worst part is that after the monetary investment I made, I was blamed for the issues with the dress because I "should have known this could happen," despite the fact that I brought my business to them--I am not a seamstress! David, the owner, demonstrated poor customer service skills by raising his voice at us (ladies! Is this how Make It Fit condones treating women?), being rude, dismissive of worries, and interrupting us whenever we tried voicing our concerns. He even had the audacity to say it was obvious this was my "first wedding" due to my "inexperience." Plainly, we endured an offensive amount of disrespect from his behalf. One seamstress, Aracelys, even shared that the person who took my measurements and worked on my dress (Karen) isn't a seamstress. How on Earth are these acceptable business practices for a shop dealing with precious garments on the daily? I was lucky I was able to find another dress to use the day of my wedding, but this whole ordeal should have never happened. I did not get my money back, and I did not get to use my dream dress. Brides beware: your wedding dress is at risk if you trust Make It Fit Alterations. read more

I will not use this alterations service again. I was a long-time, good customer of the previous owner. Irina was quirky, but she could work magic. I knew from the try on experience that this was really more of an ordinary alterations place, but that is fine. I left two items to be hemmed (a pair of jeans and a jumpsuit). I was given a lead time of three weeks for the alterations to be complete. That is ludicrous, but the owner said they were busy with weddings. I went to pick up today after 3 pm which was my pick up day and time and THEY WERE STILL WORKING ON THEM. I was told to come back I'm 45 minutes - which I did because my event is the day after tomorrow. When I returned, the alterations were done, but my $500 Ralph Lauren jumpsuit was return to me without even being pressed after the alterations were complete. This made the hem look cheap and amateurish. AND the hem was honestly too long - about a half inch longer than expected BEFORE the press. I think I am going to need to find new shoes tomorrow for the party. Absolutely absurd customer service especially considering the lead time and then having to come back on the day of pickup. I told the owner that this experience did not meet my expectations, and he argued with me that they delivered exactly as he said they would. VERY poor form. I will not be back. read more

I just had the bizarre experience of being 86'ed by the man at the front desk. All I needed was the hem raised on the back of a dress. He told me it would take 2 weeks and I asked the price. He opened the price list, holding it mostly closed so I couldn't see, and quoted $60. $60 and 2 weeks for half a hem!!!! Obviously, he didn't want my business, but I don't know why ... I swear I had just showered and didn't smell bad :) read more

They revived my vintage Gucci tote to perfection. Can't wait to carry it. The leather needed to be died and the edges were cracked. They tucked the edges and matched the leather color perfectly! Will be sending my friends their way! read more

Always listen to your first thoughts about a business...initially I had planned my day with the likes of going to my original seamstress at a totally different business but unfortunately she informed me from a distance she has Covid. So because of my time crunch I started searching for a different location. A friend of mine recommended this location based SOLEY on the work. I work in an industry really big not only customer service but customer experience. It literally talk little to no effort for customer service. So upon meeting David, and he not putting forth any effort whatsoever was very upsetting and disappointing. So arrived pretty early as I stated on the website they opened at 10am. So at 10am the location wasn't open. Around 10:08am after calling and leaving a message , I noticed a woman sitting in front of the business. I approached her and inquired if she was familiar with the place and she said yes,she actually worked there. She was the seamstress. She stated the person was running late obviously and to give him a couple of more minutes. I said okay and we talked a little more before I went back to my car to sit and wait. So around 10:18am, the location finally opened up and I see movement inside. I walked in and David, didn't greet, didn't say a thing until I said Hello. Instead of asking,"How may I help you, I had to initiate why I was there and inform him of what I needed done. All while seeming annoyed as I had bothered him by coming in the establishment for service. While I was explaining to him what I needed, he rudely interrupted me and said,"We don't do that." Not listening, thinking i wanted a "new" collar made when in actuality I needed some mock neck shirts taken in. Only after showing him without making an assumption, then he heard me. Also, informed him I needed pants taken in. So he told me to go into the dressing room. So I did, I came out. He looked at me without any verbal cues and no instructions I wandered over to the area for him to mark the alterations. Dead silence while I'm explaining to him and showing him what I needed. He does the mark up and I go to change. So now he start figuring up the total, and still no verbal communication about what he's doing her just tapping away on his system. He asked for basic info; name, number which I provided. Mind you he had Not even quoted the price. He then says you pay with card or tap to pay. I look at him and said,What exactly are we doing?" He goes, it's for you to pay. I said what am I paying? He then finally shows me the total for the alternations. I said fine. ONLY because I had the interaction with the seamstress prior and she was friendly throughout this ordeal did I proceed. While I was ringing out a white lady entered the store and he perked right up and greeted her. I didn't receive such a luxury from him. I would never recommend this establishment to anyone, including foes. I am really big on customer service and how the first interaction goes a very long way. So this location absolutely failed. I sincerely hope the seamstress finds another place to work in. read more

This is the first time in 36 years I can honestly say that I got great alterations. This place was FANTASTIC, prompt, and my skirt fits impeccably. Will definitely come back. read more

Outstanding! Superb job on my rare WWII uniforms. The fine detailing of the tailoring was etensive and they did it perfectly! These uniforms are destined for museums abroad so Great Job! read more

I brought in a single layer dress to be hemmed about an inch. She was very pushy and wanted $45 upfront. I told her I felt more comfortable paying after I saw the finished product, and she asked if it was because I was unable to pay. I left and felt something was off so I went to get the dress back and she threw it on the counter and went back to the back of the store. I'm now getting it hemmed at another alterations place for $22. She's extremely rude for someone in customer service. I won't be recommending her. read more

Oh Irina, you truly are the best seamstress, even though you sound vaguely like a Bond villainess. Heracles strengths: Irina REALLY knows what she's doing. I've had her do alterations on everything from military uniforms to bridesmaid dresses, and each time they are done quickly and to my exact specifications. I'd have this lady alter my bridal gown, but that assumes someone out there is dumb enough to marry me, and fortunately, Darwin tends to remove those people from the general population. Her location is easily accessible, and I refer her to all of my friends. Irina also does custom tailoring if you're looking to have some really bitchin' bespoke outfit. Achilles heel: None. read more

I really wanted to like this place, but I brought a pair of pants here to be taken in and hemmed a bit. I paid $80 up front. I picked up the pants and brought them home to try on. They had not been altered in any way whatsoever. I called to ask if I could bring them in to be fixed or get a refund several times and never got a call back. Needless to say, it's overpriced and the work doesn't even get done. read more

IF YOU NEED TO GET SOMETHING ALTERED IN ATL, VISIT IRINA! She did an amazing job on my bridesmaids dress that I needed to get taken in. And to top things off, I tried it on at the very last minute and noticed that it was a little loose after losing a few pounds. I went back to her in a panic, and she helped with some tiny alterations that didn't make the weight loss noticeable. What a talented lady with reasonable prices! read more

What a great find right nearby where I live! Irina hemmed and altered a chiffon / satin bridesmaid's dress for a dear friend of mine who lives outside Atlanta. I offered to hem it myself, but found the fabric too delicate and slippery for my machine. I remembered there was a nearby alterations shop at Briarcliff and LaVista Rd. so stopped by for an estimate. Not only was Irina's quote reasonable, she did a perfect professional job on hemming the dress and making some minor alterations. Plus she had the dress ready ahead of time, so my friend was thrilled. I saw the quality of Irina's work while in the store - she does basic hemming and alterations to men's tailoring and even upholstery. I highly recommend Irina's Alterations and Boutique. She also has a great selection of hand-made face masks. This shop is a real gem for our neighborhood. read more

Irina did a wonderful job with some of my work clothes that needed to be taken in. She was polite, the services were reasonably priced, they were ready exactly when she said they would be, and my clothes fit perfectly now! Definitely bringing anything else I need altered here. read more

I got 3 dresses hemmed and it was way overpriced, $100 for 3 dresses! Then, when I called to pick it up because I didn't realize they weren't open Sunday and I needed the dress that day, they were super rude and told us she was leaving and we can't get our items, even though we already paid for them. When I arrived to pick up the items, they were with other customers and not leaving at all, just being rude. I will not be using her again or recommending her services. read more

A true Diamond! She makes my $$$ suits come back to life with that fitted pizzaz! Highly fro the discriminating professional!

She refused to alter a dress for me even as I tried to tell her it was a feasible and gave suggestions. She was pretty rude with her refusal as well. Went down the street to another place and they were able to do it for half the price. Won't be using her again. read more

I've been to Irinia's a few times now and all have been wonderful experiences. She gets the job done efficiently, pleasantly and reasonably priced. I most recently brought my wedding dress for a hem adjustment and a bustle- so beyond pleased! Definitely knows her stuff!! read more

I had a bridesmaid dress altered to be 2 sizes smaller and was very pleased with the result! The dress was ready for pick up just over a week after dropping it off. Irina did an excellent job :) read more

Perfect Fit truly alters your clothing into a perfect fit! Irina, the owner and seamstress, does a fantastic job at not only adjusting the clothing to your body shape, but she also is efficient and cares about customer service. The price is reasonable, and she really does a professional job. I went to her for a bridesmaid dress that needed to be altered in 1 week before I had to leave for a wedding, and she kindly accepted to alter the dress, it was done earlier than the anticipated date that she gave me, and had me come in to try it on to make sure that it fit just right! Thank you, Irina! read more

Irina is awesome and so patient. I've lost weight and basically had to rebuild my entire wardrobe and she's been so very good to me. She does excellent work and will keep at it until it's just perfect how you like it, she is also very honest and will tell you if changing something is a bad idea or if it's not worth it. She is terrific, and not to mention a joy to be around. read more

Amazing Seamstress!!! Does great work and I am happy with her job. I have used her many times and haven't been disappointed. She made my old dress look like new. I also bought a cute dress and some other nice clothes which fit perfectly. Highly recommended! A+ read more

I brought three pairs of yoga leggings to Irina. I called ahead to ask her if she hemmed yoga leggings and she said she did, but I learned there is a distinction between hemming yoga pants and hemming yoga pants correctly. I assumed the former and got back pants that were hemmed without the stretchiness of the fabric in mind (she said she "hemmed them looser", which is not right, you have to have a specific stitch that will accommodate the stretchiness of the fabric). I could barely get my foot in through the leg opening, and some threads popped when I forced it through. She kept insisting she was right, and that the threads won't come undone (so what was the sound of threads breaking when I put them on?!) but to bring them back if they come undone. For $45 ($15/pair), I got an argumentative woman and leggings that I wish I kept the way they were before I brought them in to get altered. read more

Awesome place. Took a bunch of work pants and skirts. They fit perfectly and were done so neatly.

Should have done this review a view years ago. She is the best for transforming stuff... pants, tops, dresses, anything you bring. The work is excellent and she (I assume I am dealing with Irina) is lovely and professional and so are all of the women that work with her. Rather than discarding clothing that doesn't fit, I've taken pieces to her. The resulting products look like something purchased from the best stores...probably better. read more

Irina is great and professional and gets the job done. I had purchased pjs in San Fran Chinatown and got them home to find out they were 3 times the size I needed for my daughter and myself. She altered the pants which one place told me they would have to completely rework the pants. Not Irina! She did a few alterations on both and they fit perfectly now. Thanks again Irina. read more

I recently had 3 items altered by Irina (1 skirt, 2 dresses). I cannot overstate how pleased I am! All 3 look as though they came that way! She was professional, fair priced, and quick. I'll be back! read more

I had two skirts shortened here and both had the stitching start to unravel within less than 10 wears and only 2-3 dry cleaning trips. I sit at a desk all day. I was willing to pay the extra cost of this tailor compared to others because I wanted good work done on these. Definitely not worth it. read more

I have been coming to Irina for years and she has always been exceptional. She has altered anything from a blouse to creating fabulous tablecloths for us! She is amazing and reliable. She has even done a same day hem on a long gown for me when the ball was that night. read more

Irina is a lovely lady who does quality work on time. I was very happy with an emergency job that I needed to have done. I'll be back to see her with More work. read more

I am very pleased with my alterations. I brought a bridesmaid dress and a sheath dress each to be taken in at the bodice, and some work pants to be hemmed. All of them were perfect. Her shop was calm and lovely, and I will come back to her for any future alterations. read more

This lady is a hard worker and really takes pride in her craft. I had her alter a delicate silk dress, and she helped me decide on the precise design details and also fine-tuned the fit after my initial try-on. I've had enough dresses altered to know that it is never cheap. Her rates are quite competitive, and it definitely cost me less to alter this dress than to buy a new one. read more

Love to Shop here also one of the best Seamstress you will find in the area with very reasonable prices . I have lost 30lbs so Irina ( the owner) did all my alterations the quality you get is amazing !!! Highly recommended it. read more
