Make It Fit

After spending the day at the mall to find a formal dress for my daughter, we were referred to Make It Fit for the needed alterations. It was located right across the street from the mall so we drove over to check it out. We showed up after closing, but Paula was still there and offered to help us. She was so friendly and professional. Paula stayed late and had my daughter try on her dress right then and took the measurements for the necessary alterations. She told us the dress would be ready in 2-​days. Unbelievable! We came to pick it up and it fit perfectly. No hassles, no fuss and we left completely happy! THANK YOU PAULA! We will definitely be back for any and all of our alteration needs. Awesome experience.

I’ve been meaning to write a review on how phenomenal the customer service is here but I kept forgetting. Anyways… I’ve been here three times and the service is quick, with great results. I’ve needed my jeans hemmed, my work pants hemmed, and a rip fixed on my dress. Every single time I came in I expected to wait until the next day to pick up my stuff or if I needed it the same day, that’d Id have to wait a few hours. They surprised me by getting my work pants and my dress back to me in 10 minutes!!! I literally went in, showed them what I needed done and then left with my stuff fixed to perfection all within 10 minutes! I LOVE coming here… you will too ;) trust me!

This business needs to hire more employees as they get a lot of business but help people first come first serve. I had already paid for my stuff, just needed to pick it up and it took a good amount of time for them to pay attention to me. I saw the dress hanging behind the counter and could have literally walked back and grabbed it myself bc she didnt even look at my receipt.

Paulaaaaaaa is the best!!! I go to her with all my shirts and pants that need fixing. She gets the job done nicely!!! The hardest working person at Make it Fit by far!

I have started bring my clothes in for alterations a few months ago. They do and excellent job for the price. Professional all the way. They have great hours. I Never take to a dry cleaners any more hoping the seamstress will be in.

This place is great. Very affordable. Very fast. And excellent service. Paula is awesome. I swear she’s always there, and often serving half a dozen people at the same time. This is where I bring all my clothes to get taken in and fixed now.

I come here for everything I need hemmed.
Ive brought jeans, bridesmaid dresses and also some pants that have needed patches.
My boyfriend has dropped of dress shirts as well to get hemmed and they did an awesome job.
Really good work and a quick turn around. I really like that they match the stitch color and width to make it at seamless as possible.
And prices you really can’t beat!

I love this place! I came here on a Thursday to drop off a prom dress to get hemmed, and it was ready for me by Tuesday. The employee was super patient– I originally asked for just one inch hemmed off the bottom, but when I later decided that I would wear a shorter pair of high heels, she gladly allowed me to come in again on Monday (the day before I was supposed to pick it up) and remeasure the hem. She had already cut off the one inch (but hadn’t sewn the ends yet) but still allowed me to change it with no extra charge! And I was still able to pick it up on the originally scheduled day. The service here is really great.
Also, the quality of the alteration is amazing!!! It looks like it wasn’t even altered at all. :)
I didn’t make an appointment, and there wasn’t a wait when I first came to drop off my dress. However, when I was picking up my dress, some people had lined up already (but just to pick up their clothing too).
I definitely recommend coming here for reliable service!

Your one stop to making anything fit. I’ve been a customer since they opened due to my short stature I need everything hemmed. From maxi dresses to pants-​they get it right ALL the time.

The people who work here are extremely rude. Wasn’t welcomed at all. I took in a jersey and didn’t even bother to look at it and told me they wouldn’t alter it. Have never felt so disrespected by a place.

One of the best tailor shops I’ve experienced. While the wait at the counter can be sometimes long, the quality of the alterations are first rate and prices are fair. I needed a special rush and they had my pant legs hemmed and suit sleeves hemmed in about 6 hours. They also have a $ 3.00 hem price on their website if you show it to them on your phone. Nice.

The design of the place looks fancy and very spacious, that’s the first impression I had when I walked in. I have had three evening gowns altered here. I payed $ 10 dollars for the first dress to have part of the inner material of the dress removed. I payed $ 45 dollars for the second dress which was a three piece dress a bit sophisticated that I bought as a size 10 (the dress was on clearance and I loved it) and we altered it to a size 2! The dress looked absolutely perfect. They really did an amazing job! The last dress I brought in, I needed to make it a little shorter! They charged me $ 30! I thought it could have been done for like $ 20, but I didn’t want to risk it, so I just went with it. They also did a wonderful job.

Very impressed with this place. $ 6 jean hem and next day turnaround. They do an excellent job and it’s $ 14 to taper as well. Never had any rude service despite them being busy. Definitely my go-​to spot for alterations.

I only wish I could have had the chance to get my wedding dress altered here. I guess I should have know there would be trouble when they didn’t answer the phone to my several calls over three days to make an appointment. With out having an appointment I thought I’d email… No answer that way either, so I walked in and was created with hostility. Only to be told this is too much work. Wow! I figured by all the great reviews and recommendations I got for this place that they would do a great job.
I guess it just wasn’t meant to be.

I have really mixed feelings about my experience at Make it Fit. I went in to hem a skirt and a dress. They did a great job on this and I would recommend them for your basic alteration needs (although they returned one of my skirts with black dirt marks on the waistband… but nothing a quick rinse with soap & water couldn’t fix). My slight issue was with me trying to schedule an appointment to alter my reception wedding dress.
My reception wedding dress is an extremely simple and plain A-​line dress with no elaborate designs. I needed it hemmed and taken in just a bit so I asked if I could make an appointment (with my wedding being 6 weeks away). From reading all the reviews about how they altered dresses for last-​minute brides within a week or two I assumed 6 weeks would be enough time to alter my simple dress. The lady pulled out the schedule book and penciled me in for the following Saturday, but said she was unsure if the seamstress would be able to accommodate me on such short notice. This was completely understandable and I said I could look elsewhere if they were too busy. But, she told me she’d confirm with the seamstress on Monday and let me know if they’d be able to work on my dress so I agreed to wait for their confirmation call.
Monday came and no call. Tuesday came and still no call so I tried calling them four times but nobody picked up. Wednesday and Thursday came and the same thing happened. I would call and nobody would pick up. Finally, when my fiancé called on his phone they picked up right away (strange…)! He asked them if the seamstress would be able to work on my dress and they politely said no and canceled my appointment.
I know they’re busy but if they had just called me and told me no on Monday, like they said they would, I would not have been upset about the situation at all. But their lack of communication left a sour taste in my mouth. I lost a week trying to get a hold of them, and as soon as I heard the no I was left scrambling trying to find someone to alter my dress with now only 5 weeks left.
That brief moment of panic and stress was something that could have been avoided. If you’re looking to alter your wedding dress here make sure to call to make an appointment more than 6 weeks in advance (because obviously 6 weeks was not enough time in my case) and get a confirmed yes to avoid the slight panic I had to endure.

While searching for places to get my bridesmaid dress altered, I was recommended Make It Fit by my boyfriend who has had his work pants hemmed here a few times previously.
Here is a simple three step process:
1) Head straight for the dressing room to put on whatever needs altering
2) Come out and wait until someone is available to assist
3) Bring the clothing out and pre-​pay for the alterations
We came on a Saturday afternoon to drop off the dress which was available by Friday. I had hemmed about 2 inches off the bottom of my maxi dress and tightened the waistline. The total came out to $ 64 which was a little pricier than I had hoped but they did a great job.
Make It Fit is located in the same plaza as Target. Plenty of parking spaces available!

Make It Fit is awesome! I’ve been coming here once a month this summer getting dresses and other clothing items altered. The ladies here are very nice and they do a great job with alterations.
I stopped going to those random sketchy alteration shops a long time ago because I’ve always ended up with bad results. Since I started coming to Make It Fit, I haven’t had any issues with alterations.
Their prices aren’t super cheap but they don’t break the bank either. It’s definitely worth it for the quality of work you get! :)

Julia and one of her employees were extremely accommodating on a last min wedding suit alteration. They were nice, extremely professional and responsible on finishing by the estimated time.
They hemmed my pants for free given it was my first time there… and steamed my whole suit and dress shirt free of charge as well! They will be my go to tailors from now on. give them a try !

I give this place 2 stars because they hem pants/​shorts for $ 6, and its a quick turn around.
I’ve been going to this place for years. Starting at the old location. The owner/​older woman is ALWAYS so rude. She is just downright nasty. It’s obvious that she is completely inconvenienced to be helping or servicing the customers. I do not understand why they just don’t have her work strictly in the back?

I just recently moved to Orange County and my husband was looking for a place that would hem his work pants for a decent price. Sure, there are a lot of Vietnamese mom and pop’s places in Garden Grove that will do a great job for about 5 bucks, but in the upper OC, it’s all hip for no reason.
Thank goodness for my fellow Unilocalers, we found «Make it Fit» and it has become our go-​to spot for all of our alterations.
My husband brings all his pants here to get them hemmed. They do a decent job for $ 6.00 per pair and depending on how busy they are, they might have it ready for you in a couple of hours or later in the day.
I also suggested this place to my bridesmaids when they needed to have their dresses hemmed. It was a three layer dress with chiffon as the outer layer. They did this for $ 26.00 which is a really great price — and the dresses looked great.
Their turnaround time is quick and I’ve always had my clothes ready in a couple of days (at the latest).
It’s conveniently located by the Brea mall (next to Kabuki restaurant in the Target plaza) so you can swing by after you bought those extra-​long jeans or the super long skirt.
I definitely recommend this place to my friends for all their alteration needs.
