Perfect Alteration

Mei (owner of Perfect Alteration) is phenomenal — Not only does she do a great job with everything I bring in (I’m short so all pants I buy have to be hemmed #shortpeopleproblems), she’s a wonderful human being. Once, on a Friday, I had to pick up pants she had hemmed for the weekend before going out of town and she was home sick with a fever (she lives more than 10 miles away btw), she drove all the way to her office in Pleasant Hill so I could pick up my pants. And I didn’t even ask her… she insisted!
She’s great at her job, she turns jobs around quickly, and every time I see her she has a smile on her face. As long as I live in this area, there is no one else I will ever go to. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Thanks for everything, Mei!

Looking for alterations?
Mei Ling is your girl!
If it weren’t for fellow Unilocaler reviews, I would have not found her.
To make a short story short, I read the reviews that she is very good at her job and responds quickly. I sent her a text and within 5mins it was returned stating to bring in my jacket and see what she can do.
Mei gave me options of what she can do and the cost of labor up front which I liked. Mei was very professional and sweet at the same time. I was very happy with the results and recommend her to anyone who needs any kind of repairs or alterations to any clothing items.
Thanks again!!!

Mei Ling is AMAZING! If I could give her 10 stars I would. My fiancé and I decided we wanted to elope in Tahoe the weekend of Thanksgiving. We made this decision only 10 days before Thanksgiving, not leaving me with much time to find a dress, let alone get alterations. I bought a dress the Friday before Thanksgiving but it had a long train and desperately needed to be hemmed. I called a few alteration places and they all told me the same thing… it’s not possible to have it ready in 5 days. I found Mei Ling here on Unilocal and after reading her other reviews, I knew If anyone could help me it would be her. I brought my dress to Mei Ling 4pm on Friday and she had it back to me to following day around 3pm! She gave me a great deal and made it stress free. I can’t thank her enough!

One of my jackets had ripped off near the shoulder and another one had a small area near a pocket ripped. I went to Mei Ling simply because the other places were closed on a Sunday. I had to call her and leave a voice mail to get her address. She got them ready within the same day and had done a very neat job of both. Would definitely recommend her for any type of sewing or alteration.

Went in to get my jeans altered, and it was done in one day! After I picked them up and tried them on at home, they still fit a bit long on me so I texted her that I want them even shorter. She replied right away telling me to come back so she can fix it at no charge. I came back and she did it right on the spot, in less than 5 minutes. This is the fastest I’ve ever had anything altered before! She is fast, responsive, and very kind. I definitely recommend getting your clothes altered here.

Awesome place for alterations, actually got my clothes back in one day. Reasonable pricing and she does an amazing job. Really listens to what you want and gives suggestions on best fit. Definitely recommend.

Mei Ling is Awesome! Very nice and easy to talk to. She responded to my voicemail via text message immediately.
I was in a panic because I had 2 lace bridesmaid dresses that needed alterations and I only had 1 week! Eeek! My dress particularly had to be be completely taken apart, zipper and all. Mei Ling finished both of them in 2 days. I am very pleased with her service. The dresses look great and fit perfect! I highly recommend her. I will be back!!!

Mei Ling is awesome! I went to 6 different tailors/​seamstresses and Mei Ling was the only one who could help with my daughters prom dress.
Because it was a custom made dress, with 2 weeks left before my daughters senior ball, I went to Mei Ling for the third time (in between looking for nearby locations & comparing other seamstresses) she decided she could help me. It was a very difficult dress that was way too long that had embroidery sewn into the fabric along the bottom. Without damaging the intricate details of the dress she did her magic and it was money well spent in consideration of the work and timing it took to fix it. I highly recommend Perfect Alteration. She’s very personable and responds quickly using text.
My daughter was so happy. Another seamstress even told her she was better off buying another dress because she couldn’t help her because the embroidery was so detailed. Thank god I went back. Thank you again Mei Ling for discussing all the different options you could offer and picked the best one.

Mei Ling did a great job! I texted her after reading other Unilocal reviews and she told me to come right over. I had just had an awful experience with another place, they completely ruined two expensive pieces of clothing. Mei Ling was able to salvage one of them and did amazing work on a couple of other pieces I brought in. Will definitely be going back for future alterations.

Very glad I came here to get my clothes tailored! Mei Ling is easy to talk to, flexible in when I want to come in, and very thorough. I am short and have a ton of dresses and skirts that fit me a bit too long/​big. I gave her about 10 dresses to alter and was very pleased with the results. I then brought in 10 more the next month to have her alter. It was worth the extra few miles of driving to come here. Will be going here again in the future.

Please text her for appt and address as she is the most famous alteration person in the town and she is always very busy! She is my go-​to person. Because I’m very petite, almost all my clothes need to have a little works done from her. But she always does an awesome job!

Mei Ling is a delight to deal with. Did a great alteration on our daughters graduation dress. She was very reasonably priced and super fast to complete work. I have a new favorite alteration place!!! Thanks Mei Ling!!!

So I had to buy my bridesmaid dress 2 sizes too big because they ran out of my size. Well enter Mei Ling! She was able to meet with me quickly, and after a little pinning, and adjusting I was on my way. She contacted me about a week later for the fitting, and after the go ahead she finished it up. When I picked it up, I put it on and realized that it was too big. In a panic I contacted her and she had me bring it over that night and after more pinning and adjusting I was sent on my way, and less than 24 hours later she had my dress ready… Which is great because I was going to be flying out for the wedding a few days later. I am so happy I found her, and I will use her for more things! She didn’t ask for more money for the redo, but I decided to pay more, just because she did such an amazing job and so quickly.

So glad I found Mei Ling on Unilocal.She performed my alterations beautifully, fast, and at very reasonable cost. Plus she’s SO nice. Her positive, can-​do energy is a breath of fresh air. You will see.

Mei Ling was so helpful! I cannot emphasize how pleased I was with her flexibility and the work she did. Great customer service!

Purchased a 4X Futuristic Blazer from China. I wear a Large in U.S. Clothing. I needed the blazer for a special party of which I had no plan B apparel for. The blazer arrived days before the party and was still 2 sizes too small. I prayed and here came Mei Ling. She was the instrument of a miracle as she basically remade the blazer some how and maintained the same design. I couldn’t believe it! As long as she is in business, she will have me as a customer.

Mei Ling altered my bridesmaid dress perfectly! She did exactly what I wanted and more. She is also very sweet!

My best friend choose me to be the maid of honor in her wedding so I decided to get a long organza gown as my bridesmaid’s dress. When the tailor I found didn’t work out, she found Mei Ling for us. And I am so happy she did.
When my gown finally arrived, it didn’t fit the way I wanted to so I started to freak out a little bit because it was too late to order it in a different size (luckily I think I was just bloated when I tried it on b/​c it fit where I needed it to later). But as I was freaking out in the dressing room at David’s Bridal, the seaming and beading detail at the top of the dress started to split apart, which added to my anxiety. I took the dress without much other choice.
After dropping off my friend’s wedding gown with her a few weeks earlier, I felt confident that Mei Ling could take out my dress (even though the alterations at DB said that was not possible). She hemmed my dress, added spaghetti straps, and fixed the splitting seam (you couldn’t even tell it had been damaged at all). All of this was done at an incredibly reasonable price.
Not only does she do incredible work for really great prices, she is awesome! She is funny, personable, and sweet. I plan on taking some pants in to be hemmed as well as collaborate with her on making some samples for my future business ventures!

In the past, I have not had good luck with taking clothes in to be altered but all that has changed since I met Mei Ling! She is AWESOME! I took four tops in to be hemmed and you can’t even tell that the alterations were done post-​purchase. They look like they were made that way. She is detailed, thorough, prompt and she is VERY nice. Some of the reviews said she was pricey but I have learned that you get what you pay for when it comes to alterations. I have gone the cheap route before and regretted it. Mei Ling is the only person I will trust with my alterations going forward.

Mei lIng is AWESOME! I purchased a Sophia Tolli gown at Gesinee’s and based on their Unilocal reviews I decided to find another tailor. I found Mei Ling’s Perfect Alterations on Unilocal and scheduled an appt. with her about 6 weeks before my July 13 wedding, which — unlike a lot of otter tailors — was plenty of time. I had lost about 15 lbs since purchasing my dress and it needed to be taken in considerably. It’s nerve-​wracking to leave a $ 1200 dress with a stranger, however Mei Ling made me feel at ease. She is funny, very personable, and has been sewing since she was a girl — I felt very comfortable around her which made me feel comfortable leaving her my wedding dress. She had me come in a few times for fitting, length checks, etc. and she even made my veil, sewed bra cups into my dress, and created a little thigh band with a pocket to hold my insulin pump, all for a very reasonable price (would’ve been twice as much at Gesinee’s). My dress came out PERFECT, it fit me like a glove and I am soooooo happy with the finished product!
She prefers to text so text her to set up an appt. or ask questions, she responds very quickly.
I can’t recommend Mei Ling enough! She is now my go-​to tailor; I don’t think there is anything she can’t do!
