This place does NOT do a good job hemming. I took my bridesmaid dress here to get it hemmed up. They gave me a date to pick it up by, and even though I came a day later than the date they specified, the dress was still not done. They told me to come back in an hour since the stitching came out, so I said okay and came back later. I tried it on at the shop and everything seem to be okay so I took it home. The event was the following day, and the stitching all came undone after less than an hour in the dress! Horrible! Luckily, I had some last minute clothing tape to tape it all back up. Whew, but that shouldn't have been the case after paying the price I paid for a simple hem. read more

Best place for tailoring and dry clean. Love them! Even was able to have our Persian rugs restored to the original colors due to their dry cleaning services not to the mention all the tailoring they offer. Great service and turn around time! :) Jennifer is so sweet and Kim is so helpful!! read more

I don't even know where to start. I would give this place and specifically Kim 10 stars if I could. I lost about 30 lbs before my wedding which required the dress to be altered 4-5 dress sizes. Kim and the team made it happen . It was all done at a reasonable price and in a timely manner. They were professional and so friendly. The dress is impeccable thanks to Kim. I will be coming back and referring people. Thanks Kim you saved ny wedding !! read more

This is still my go-to place for alterations. I've been coming here for ages. Conveniently located in the Marketplace (near CPK), I'm in the area a lot anyway. Parking can be tough in this section of the Marketplace, especially since it's next to a tutoring center and a nail salon. There are a couple of 5 Minute parking spots down by Postal Annex that are usually open, BTW, if you can be quick. But MIF is usually not crowded, reasonably priced, has a fairly fast turnaround time (3-4 days), and has not screwed any of my clothes up. The staff seems knowledgeable and getting pinned has always gone smoothly for me as well. You can usually find coupons on the Irvine Company's app, Retail Therapy too. I love MIF, and will continue to be a loyal customer! read more

STAY AWAY I WILL NEVER come back to this place. They really showed so much disrespect and poor workmanshi and I will never use their service again. The staff was very rude and I strongly recommend to not use their service. They are nearby, but I have chosen to drive further away. read more

I've been coming to Make-It-Fit for years. I'm sure you could find another place that offers cheaper alterations, however, as a woman under 5 ft tall that has to have nearly everything altered, I just don't want to mess around much once I've found a good tailor. Since I don't have an off the rack body, it's important that someone allows me to try on a garment, measures everything out and is able to look at the quality of material and provide me all of the options available. This has been my experience every time I've come here. read more

Both alterations I paid for were pretty shoddy work especially for the price I paid. The pants were not hemmed up to what was pinned at the store. they are too long and aren't close to what was discussed. I had a dress re-elasticized and they used a thinner cheaper elastic that doesn't hold up the dress still. So I'll have to get both items redone again. Really disappointed in this place and never coming back. read more

They treat you with no respect. All they care about is money. They are $$$$. No need to rip people off. Other places do excellent work and don't have to charge $$$ A customer always has a right to ask questions. When you are giving a business a job to do they SHOULD make you comfortable and relaxed Many other places to choose from!!!! read more

Professional, knowledgeable, and above all Jeniffer made suggestions based on my body type for my alterations AND for future clothing purchases! I don't know if we got lucky or if this is normal, but we're grateful either way! I'm excited to have new close to wear that will fit great! read more

I have been going here since they opened. The ownership has changed but not the great service & quality of work

Make it Fit really saved me when I was in a time crunch. They tailored my pants last minute and did an amazing job in one afternoon.

I went in for an alteration, the young lady asked me to go into one of the dressing rooms. After 10 minutes, I ended up leaving. Not sure where she went but she could have informed her other co worker or advised me that she was going to take some time. I will look else where. First impressions are major for me! read more

I am a customer for life! They are so skilled, quick, reasonable and go over and beyond. Thank you!

They are the best alteration place ever! Jennifer is so understandable and always make it happen for me!! My alterations are quite different, turning dresses into tops, making a crew neck dress to an off-shoulder dress, changing the style of a dress, etc. they can do it all, and never disappoint!! read more

I brought in two swim bandeau tops to be taken in just a tad bit so it wouldn't fall when I was in the pool and though their service was quick as I needed it quickly done - they charged me $20 for each swim top. With that $40, I really could have gotten a whole new swim set. Other than that, quality of the alteration is good but I'm not sure how anyone could mess up such a small alteration lol read more

The ladies here were able to sew back together what I thought was absolutely impossible to fix. I brought this stroller insert to another cleaners & was told he couldn't do it... and recommended here. I'm so happy to have found a cleaners that can take on hard tasks like such. I washed my sons name-brand, Nuna, stroller seat cushion & it came out the washer completely ripped. The workers here not only made it so that it's nearly impossible to notice any damage, but they did it in such a timely manner. $20, somewhat pricey, but so happy I did not have to replace this entire cushion. read more

Make It Fit - Stroller cushion completely torn apart :( - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Tustin, California

This is such a terrific resource for anything that needs alterations! Even things for the house! I have used them several times for clothing and now they are making speaker covers for my tower speakers that my cats destroyed! I provided them with enough material and one of the covers to use as a template! read more

I had a challenging tailoring problem on a fancy dress I bought for a wedding. Even though Kim was going on vacation, she made the time to help me schedule a fitting. Kim is a master seamstress and a hard worker. Everyone in there is nice and helpful. Great place for tailoring services. Been going here for years. Highly recommend read more

Paid $240 for some suits and jackets to be altered...work was accurate but clothes came back with hair all over, lots of threads everywhere and the suits were not pressed where the work was done. Owner said they do not press clothes...that you should take it to the cleaners for pressing after they do their work...no one advised in advance and there are no signs anywhere. Don't go on the weekends. Need some business advice on customer service. .grossly under staffed. read more

Make It Fit - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Tustin, California

I got my wedding dress altered at their other location in Brea and they did such a phenomenal job that I was so happy when I discovered a branch literally down the street from my house. I'm in a wedding this month as a bridesmaid and the dress was too big for me, so I asked them to take it in. I brought it in on Tuesday and they finished it on Thursday (very happy about the quick turnaround time), but when I saw the alterations I wasn't fully satisfied. It's OK - but I could tell that they did kind of a sloppy job. I saw loose seams here and there, and the dress was still a bit loose on me around the waist. It's not bad enough to complain about, but I expected better. They charged me $19 to get my J.Crew bridesmaid dress (chiffon silk) altered, which I thought was very reasonable! read more

Jennifer is the best. If you get a chance to have her take your measurements - you'll get 10 out 10

I always bring my alterations to Make It Fit. Jennifer is very knowledgeable & experienced. I trust the garments in her care. Very good turn around time too. read more

I wouldn't go anywhere else for tailoring. Even when I lived 5 hours away, I would bring clothing to Make It Fit for alterations whenever in town. They have always done excellent work. read more

I can't remember the lady's name who helped me but she was the seamstress and I think owner. I had a Bad situation with my wedding dress I took it in to a lady who I thought she knew what she was doing but I guess not I paid her $400 to give my dream dress sleeves well long story short she did a really really bad job and I was in tears 3days before my wedding and I brought it in to make it fit which is where my mom use to bring her clothes to get fitted when I was a kid so I knew they were good! The seemstress came in on her day off just to help me and fix my dress she was like an Angel sent from heaven she fitted my dress in less then 48 hours and made it better than I ever imagined! So greatful for her! And this amazing place.! read more

I would recommend this place over and over and over again. Not only is their work exceptional, but they went above and beyond to accommodate my last minute alteration needs. I walked in with very little hope that they'd be able to help me considering how last minute my request was, but Jennifer did everything she could to fit me in and they were super professional about it. They took their time with my fitting, gave me all the different ways they could accomplish my alteration request, and despite the time crunch, they chose to do it the hardest and most time consuming way just to make sure the job was done right. Their work is precise and super neat. I have found my new alteration spot! Thank you thank you. read more

I came here for basic hemming of my maxi dresses, so I can't vouch for more complicated alterations, but I was satisfied with the quality of work. They got the job done a day earlier than they said they'd get it done (so, in 2 days), and the price was reasonable. read more

My go to place to get alteration done. I usually only trust Jennifer ( Mei Han) but if she's not available, the other ladies are just as reliable. A little pricey but the seamstress is always on point and the work is always flawless read more

For an alterations shop, one wouldn't expect such attractive decor. I wouldn't describe the staff as being very approachable, nor friendly; they do appear professional. They've done nice work on more complicated jobs (e.g. swimsuit alterations and changing placement of a waistband); however, I've been extremely disappointed with what-I-consider basic alterations (e.g. shortening a hemline, sewing on a button). In both of the latter cases, the stitching was performed so loosely, similar to a temporary basting stitch; therefore, the work didn't last. I -- a non-seamstress -- could have done a better job! Since experiencing quality alterations at my drycleaner's store, I've never returned to Make It Fit. read more

The customer service here was fabulous. I brought in 5 jeans that all needed to be hemmed. I also had one pair of jeans that was slightly too large for me, so it needed a little more work than the others. Nonetheless, the lady who worked there was very friendly and said my jeans would be ready the next business day. They seem to be quite busy too and I'm very satisfied with their turnaround time. I also heard that other locations in the area charge over 10 bucks to get your jeans hemmed. This place charges approximately 6 bucks to get a pair of jeans hemmed. I think that's pretty cheap. read more

I've been going here for over 10 years. Being under 5ft tall and petite, i have no choice but to alter most of my pants and dresses if I want them to fit properly. Jennifer is awesome! Jennifer is awesome, I actually always call to make sure she's in when I take my stuff in for fitting. She's highly experienced and will always provide recommendations to ensure your alterations are on point (especially for more complicated dresses). I fully trust them with all of my expensive dresses and pants. They offer rushed alterations, but their normal timing isn't bad (typically 2-3 business days). I'd highly recommend this place; and highly encourage you see Jennifer for your more complicated pieces. read more

This place is a lot of $$ and for the second time have messed up my clothes! I have an important event on Monday and due to them I now can't we're the skirt they worked on. I will never go back here again. If you go leave enough time for them to do it twice. read more

I like the last client have been going to make it fit in Brea for over 20 years. I had an important event coming up and needed my dress altered Which I went to the Tustin store. When I went to pick up my dress I tried it on again. The dress had been cut to short, and 1 side pulled up. In the beginning Jennifer did not know if the dress could be fixed and after staying there for over an hour I was told it could not. there Was no possible way to get another dress ordered in time. I did try with another Taylor to see if something could be done And there was not a way to fix it. I called back and left messages and not 1 call back. For the last few months I have been getting the run around and never a call back Or a follow up. I just got off the phone with Jennifer who has advised me that they have proof I was not wearing shoes What !!!! If I was wearing shoes it would have been shorter. We are going to court I Will keep you all updated. Very sad that I use to do so much with them . read more

I've been going there for dresses, blouses, pants, random items. I've brought a sweater and they flat out tell me if they can't do it. I brought a dress that other tailors couldn't fix and they were able to. Fairly priced, quick turn around, honest assessments. Will be going to them for any tailoring needed in the future. read more

I use them for so many projects from dance costumes to gemming pants. I've always had a great experience

There is no cutting corners with excellence. When it comes to clothing alterations, these folks *almost* always nail it and are able to... umm... make it fit (upwards of 95% of the time I feel like they've done pretty much exactly what I've asked and wanted). These tailors are usually swift (lol) in completing their alterations, and typically finish early by a day or two. Also, I love how they text you immediately once your order is ready. They give suggestions when you ask in regards to what looks best but ultimately leave the decision up to you as far as how you want your particular garment(s) tailored. Sometimes when I get my garments back, they're littered with some stray threads and/or lint here and there, but I'm willing to look past that. I have no qualms in regards to the level of quality here. That said, here are some of my gripes: Some of the workers here aren't unfriendly by any means, but... I wouldn't say that they're exactly personable either. I'm not always greeted upon entry. I can't help but feel like I'm slightly rushed when I'm here (even when it's not particularly busy). Also, what I've noticed is that some staff are unfortunately slightly less amiable towards late afternoon/night time as if they're already thinking about going home. Personally, I'd expect a bit more hospitality. Furthermore, the changing rooms are located out in front without locks, so I could see there being some incidents with people unintentionally entering a room that's occupied (I consider this to be very serious and concerning - a big deal, in my opinion). The negatives I've listed above aren't a dealbreaker for myself personally and wouldn't stop me from returning though. Overall I'd say that I'm pretty much always satisfied going here, but to be clear, I mainly come here for the convenience as I live nearby. Parking can be a bit inconvenient here, as it's in a busier part of the Tustin Marketplace. My guess is that much of the success of this establishment probably has to do with the fact that it's in a highly visible and high volume area, as this is the only tailor in all of Tustin Marketplace. Otherwise, I can't help but feel as though this isn't much different from most other tailor shops (which is not necessarily a bad thing; I don't mean that as an insult). I just don't see this as a place that people should go out of their way for. All in all: while I think that they are doing a good job, this establishment at the same time could do a bit more to set itself apart if it wants. Note to staff: I think it'd be great if you were to make an effort to get to know some of your regulars (myself included) by name. Furthermore, perhaps consider offering some sort of coupon or discount for your regulars or for people who spend up to a certain amount. Prices seem to be set in stone here. Finally, and most importantly, please consider installing locks on your changing room doors. read more

I knew we had come to the right place for my daughter's wedding dress alterations when we walked through the door!! Jennifer at "Make it Fit" was so incredibly knowledgeable and professional and took her time with my daughter, making good, sound recommendations in order that my daughter's wedding dress would look perfect on her wedding day. Watching this place operate was like watching a well-oiled machine perform to perfection. They KNOW what they're doing here and their work is amazing! The prices are great too! What a relief to know we found a GREAT tailor who knows how to alter, hem, add a bustle, clean and even steam a wedding dress so it's "wedding day perfect!" I even got MY mother of the bride dress altered here and it's perfect! Look no further..Make it Fit is THE PLACE for great alterations, very nice staff, quick turnaround without cutting corners, and professionalism and craftsmanship. The shop is clean and set in an art-deco, modern kind of the read more

Just not happy the charge very highly and not alternate the way they said my outfit just be careful this vendor not worthy to go here for sure read more

Nice staff and location! Got my pants hemmed up. Happy with my alteration services and will be coming back!

DO NOT GO THERE! Not just that place is a RIP OFF, they told me I was paying for 2 services and when I went back they did just one service and told me that's what I paid for very rude. I was kindly trying to explain what happened and they were so disrespectful laughing as they didn't care. Extremely poor communication with clients. After all that frustration I drove home with half service done and had to go back because they forgot to to give me one item back. Service is a joke, the guy who talked to me, probably the owner is a clown (He answers a lot of bad reviews saying: "are you really our client?"), so disrespectful talking as He did not care of a client since He already got the money in his pocket. I will never go back to that place! read more

By far the BEST! Let me say it again "the BEST!" I have been a satisfied customer for over 10 years. It does not matter what I take them they always do a "great job." Jennifer and the entire staff are magicians. I have alot of costumes because of my Swing Dancing hobby. A few weeks ago I found a world war 2 uniform. The uniform was 2 sizes too small for me but Jennifer assured me that she could work her magic to make it fit. After a few days she was right, not only did the uniform fit but you could not even tell it had been custom tailored. They have also done great work on all of my costumes. I have also taken my Armani Tuxedo in for custom tailoring as well as my Armani, Hugo Boss and Burberry suits and each time the custom tailoring is the BEST. I won't go anywhere else Make It Fit is the best. read more
