Absolutely amazing customer service. My dress was done in just a few days and it was done so well! They knew exactly what my dress needed to fit me like a glove. Reasonably priced and conveniently right in the heart of great bridge. 100% recommend! read more

Came in for a dress alteration and it was done in 2 weeks! I would recommend this place and already have to another friend who was pleased as well! It wasn't too pricey either. Definitely will be returning read more

She did an amazing job on my mother of the bride dress and the grandmothers dress. Very reasonable compared to others in the area. Thank you! read more

I wish I could have left a better review. They took my suit 3 weeks ago and didn't work on it. Every time I called I got a different excuse as to why it wasn't ready yet. They just... Didn't do it but are still taking in new work. They lied and forgot to do the work they agreed to do as well as ripping my suit bag then denying it. What a joke. Go to an actual professional. read more

Teresa did an amazing job with my wedding gown, as well as my toddlers flower girl dress. I was impressed my little one even tried it on and let her measure the length! Both were done very quickly, within 2 weeks for mine and a week for hers. She is very nice and good at what she does. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a quality seamstress. It should be noted they do not accept credit card, but cash and check. read more

I dropped a coat off here in the summertime to have the zipper replaced. The lady said she was busy but it would be done in about 2 weeks. I wasn't in a rush so I said OK. I called 2 weeks later and the coat wasn't done and she needed more time. I called a week later, not done. And again. 2 months after dropping my coat off, I just drove to the store to pick it up. Zipper was NOT replaced and it was starting to get cold outside so I needed my coat. Lady who gave the coat back apologized but offered no explanation as to why she couldn't fix my coat in 2 months. There was a customer in the store dropping off a wedding dress. Wonder if it was ready for the wedding... I found another tailor who completed the repair in a week. read more

Used to go there long time ago but started having issues with my garments not being ready as promised and the final straw was when I got home and found another individuals clothes mixed in with mine and one of my pairs of pants were missing. I found another place to start bringing my clothes to but due to illness in family, they recently went out of business. Its eight years later but I figured I would give this place a chance again. No surprise, nothing's changed. Was getting ready to go on a trip and brought in 3 pairs of pants to be altered. She said I could pick them up in 3 days. I waited and on the 4th day went to pick them up. They were not ready, she said come back tomorrow. They were not ready then either. On the 5th day I came to pick them up and when I got them home one of the pairs had never been hemmed! Make a long story short it took additional 4 more days for that pair!! read more

I'm giving Perfect Fit Alterations a four based on the quality of their work. I have taken everything here from a simple hem to a formal gown and have always been happy with their work. The only advice I would give is to call two days before your pickup date ensure the item will be ready. On at least three or four occasions, I've had to come back another day because the work had not been completed by the promised date. To avoid becoming frustrated, call ahead a few days before pickup and get an update on your alterations. read more

My daughter was late getting a dress for a formal and our normal alteration shop told me that they would be unable to preserve the ribbing hemming of her beautiful dress, they would just be cutting through five layers of tule leaving no hem. Perfect fit not only took my daughter's dress on short notice, but they preserved the ribbon hem and it looked gorgeous. read more

Lost a pair of shoes that had minor fixing. She doesn't communicate and mind you these shoes are Yeezys so there goes a couple hundreds of dollars. I will be getting a hold of the better business bureau.. read more

I've been here twice. The first time was fine. My son's Halloween costume needed to be altered and everything went off without a hitch. The second time I was not so lucky. I needed knee patches on a couple of my husbands work jeans and this was the first place I thought of to have the work done. She told me to check back early the following week and I was ok with that. I gave her the jeans and the material for the patchwork, I just needed some experienced hands with a sewing machine. So, as not to get into every little detail I will say a month later and several visit to check in I just got those jeans back. Everytime I stopped in I was told to come back for whatever reason, and there were a couple different ones like "I just haven't gotten to it yet". "I've been busy with the prom". "The sewing machine is broke". Everytime there was something different. You may be asking "Why didn't you take the jeans to another place after the third, fourth or fifth checkin?!?". I DON'T KNOW! I guess I'm a sucker for seemingly sweet old ladies that make promises, but don't DELIVER! I AM CALM!! ...sorry...this frustration is fresh! I also had alot of things going on as well, so initially I didn't realize just how much time had passed. I stopped in yesterday and she said she would come in early today and will be finished by 10am. I waited until almost 2pm to come in and she said (wait for it) she needed another hour! See..see.. I went back to church this passed Sunday and I felt the devil is trying to tempt me into foolery. The lady was polite and apologetic, but I just don't think there's any excuse for this kind of bad and unprofessional service. I was able to pick up my order around 5pm. Now get this, $51 for knee patches on 2 pair of jeans that took a month to complete. I was done! I let the associate know just how disappointed I was and that I will definitely take my business elsewhere in the future. I was praying the whole time. read more

Wonderful experience here; owner is kind, fair and does great work. I appreciated that she is a talented sewer. One tip would be to give yourself plenty of time because the turn around can be a bit slower due to demand. read more

I never leave reviews but I am LIVID! I went in a couple weeks ago for an alteration on a bridesmaid dress. I was given the date of Tuesday 10/4 and asked if there was any way I could pay extra to have the dress done earlier. She told me she was off on Monday but would come in to complete the dress for me. I asked if she was sure and she said she would just to give her a good number to reach me at. I left out of town on Monday night and appreciated her for working with me. Flash forward to Monday. I called all day long with no answer I drove to the store to see no one was there. Apparently they are typically closed on Monday's in general but no one called me about a change in finish time for my dress. I called right at 9am Monday morning and she hadn't even touched the dress. She said that she was sick yesterday but then later in the call said something about her hand. I said I had a friend coming to pick up the dress since I was already out of town. When my friend arrived to get the dress she was rude to her!!! Made it seem like it was anyones fault but hers the dress wasn't completed when she said it would be. She was the one that made the promise the dress would be complete on Monday, not me!! No apology, not even the slightest discount but all the attitude. Will not be using this place again and recommend if you even have the slightest crunch in time to find another place. read more

You will not find anywhere in their advertising stating " No Job Too Small ". They had the talent and the means to do my very small job. It's not that they couldn't help me, they didn't want to. Arrogance is especially toxic and disrespectful when you're when you already have successful business. read more

Always so nice and will custom fit almost anything. I always enjoy coming and getting my husbands jackets and my dresses fitted. I've also had my daughters formal dresses down here. It's a little pricey but well worth it. read more

Always friendly and amazing. We never use anyone else, we have taken all of my daughters prom dresses, ring dance dress, she can fix just about any rip. I'm short so she hems all my pants for me. Everything is always on time and usually early. Prices are quite reasonable. Highly recommend this place. read more

I dropped off a dress to have the waistline raised. She did raise the waistline but it's not straight. So the very defined empire waist of my dress is crooked and uneven. read more

What a tiny oasis. Excellent service with a smile. You don't have to pay in advance. She take cash & checks. Price's are reasonable with a quick turnaround. read more

I had plenty of time to have my wedding dress altered, I dropped it off in June for a 10/1 wedding. She set the appointment each time and on multiple occasions nothing was done to the dress. She didn't communicate if she couldn't do something.i received the dress back and had to remove the panel she put in the front because it didn't lay flat. The dress was still so long I'm not sure if it was hemmed, but there was a running stitch left all the way around the bottom on the outside of the dress. I ended up using a random neighbors grandmother to fix my dress, the week before the wedding. I regret going here, she doesn't communicate, is not responsive. She told me she was sick, her husband was sick, on multiple occasions. But she never called to adjust an appointment, I'd just drive 30min one way for nothing. I don't normally write bad reviews, but I don't want someone else going here and regretting it. read more

I love mrs Theresa, she always helps me out with whatever I need to get altered or fixed. I've taken in my ring dance dress, prom dress, and more in and she always gets the job done. Totally recommend. Only thing I would say is they only accept cash or check so make sure you have something on hand read more

I dropped off two jackets for zipper replacements on June 25th. After a couple of calls with the "I haven't gotten to it yet" response, I ran in there yesterday to pick them up. After waiting for Teresa to search, she finally brought them both out and they had NOT been done yet. She has had them for 14 weeks and they are not done. She promised me she could do them on Monday and I could pick them up on Tuesday, then wrote my ticket for full price of $46. Absolutely not, I will NEVER return to this business. I'll be carrying all of my tailoring needs to Van's from here on out. read more

This business came highly recommended. I just needed a patch / repair for an approx. 1 inch hole in the sleeve of 2 blouses. Took them in on a Saturday and was told they would be ready on Thursday (5 days later). Not bad I thought. So I went back on Thursday and they weren't ready. Was told to come back next Thurs (7 days later) since she had been sick. So I thought, no problem, I'm not in a hurry. Well I didn't go back Thursday since I was still at work and the other business hours didn't work for me. So I waited until the following Saturday which gave her another 8 days. Well I went to pick up the blouses and they still were not ready. She said "I've been sick," well that's what she said the time before that and the day I took the blouses in. I did notice that she does not put a due date on the ticket (my copy) and there was no ticket attached to the two blouses as were other items that were brought in for repair. So I told her just to give me back my blouses and I would take them somewhere else. I also told her that (being sick) was what she said the last time they were supposed to be ready. So why was she standing there pinning up an alternation for another customer in front of me. If you've been sick for 3 weeks, then go to the hospital and find out what's going on instead of using it as an excuse since it was obviously an excuse. I want to make several points: 1) I will not recommend her business unless you don't mind waiting indefinitely. 2) Bring the business into the 21st century with some sort of technology and tracking system on when orders are due. 3) Customer service needs to be taken more seriously and requires 100% improvement. They need to be more pro-active in notifying the customers if their order will be delayed. 4) Should offer additional forms or payment instead of cash and checks only. 5) Create a price list instead of saying you don't know the price yet (so that you know how much cash to bring - just saying). One positive is that she is a very nice lady but you need more than that to have repeat customers. Thank you for reading my post. read more
