The Perfect Fit

Kim worked with me on customizing and tailoring my wedding dress, and she did an AMAZING job. I had very specific changes I wanted to make to my dress, and she provided invaluable consultation and tailoring. My dress turned out perfectly. Kim is really sweet and easy to talk to, and her pricing is the most reasonable of all the tailors I went to. Thank you so much Kim!

This is the only place I trust to alter my clothes. I no longer live in the South Bay, but I still drive down to drop my clothes off. Kim also gives very good advice on how to alter the clothes as well. I am always nervous about altering the length of my pants, but trust her implicitly to do it right every time — and she does!

FYI — Kim’s business is ALWAYS closed the 1^st Saturday of each month! Unilocal will not allow her to adjust her business hours accordingly unless she coughs up a fee. I don’t blame her for standing her ground when its Unilocal’s error.
Now onto this long overdue review.
I stumbled upon Kim’s business 2 years ago when my original tailor (Manuel’s Custom Tailoring) could not fit me into their busy schedule. In a scramble, I found The Perfect Fit. Since then, Kim has been my go-​to tailor for all of suits and pants. She has that magic touch and always nails it on the first take. After dropping 17lbs in 3 months and 6 days left before an old friend’s wedding; Kim stepped up to plate and knocked this out the ballpark. She had to re-​taper my blazer and pants to align with my slimmer build. Outstanding job with above and beyond service! Thanks for the 100^th time, Kim!

They did my junior prom dress last year, and it was absolutely beautiful on me!!! This year, I bring my senior prom dress back! The service is so good!!! We discuss together how should they do to the dress! So professional! I really trust them!

The woman works here are super nice and she did my prom dress perfectly fit my expectations!!! Got to come back here again~~~~

I thought this place was very overpriced. I had taken a few simple t-​shirt dresses to have hemmed up and she quoted me $ 20 for each. That’s actually more than the price of the dress itself so I was a bit shocked. Then she asked when I would like to pick up and I told her that I needed them in 3 business days and then she looked really surprised and reluctantly said she would do it.
If it weren’t for the price, I would go here more. The quality is fine, but the price really gets me.

Every time I come in for alterations they are perfect. I go to the perfect fit to ensure my suits are fitted perfectly and to ensure my slacks and jeans have a slim, modern fit. Amazing work. Well worth every dollar spent.

The owner here is very sweet and accommodating. She makes sure you’re comfortable when taking measurements and always listens to your questions/​concerns. 5 stars for service, but the alterations weren’t amazing. I brought in a prom dress to be altered. I needed it taken in at the waist, the straps to be shortened, and the train cloth in the back to be hemmed to the original length of the skirt. The top of the dress was good, no problems there, but the hemming was not so great. The train was hemmed to be shorter than the bottom of the original skirt and the hem line was crooked and sloppily done. Not sure if chiffon material is difficult to work with, but definitely should’ve been warned if so.

I dropped into Perfect Fit hoping to have the seams fixed on a couple pairs of pants. The price quoted ($ 20 for two pants) seemed rather high, I’ve gotten similar done at other stores for around $ 5 – 7 each, so I was excited that perhaps her quality would be even higher than I was used to.
After picking up my items, I wasn’t blown away. One pair still had loose thread from the prior seam poking through, the other looked great but I’d been told it would cost more because the zipper had to be worked with. In checking the changes they looked rather simple and under the zipper. It was when I tried on the second pair of pants at home I really found the issue — she’d sewed the pocket to the crotch in re-​seaming it. Luckily I don’t use my pockets so I was able to cut it — but seriously? I paid $ 20 for this?
Service was friendly, but I just don’t feel it was worth what I paid and seeing as she’s not close to me I probably won’t come back. I’ve still never found anyone as amazing as the shop in Union Square in SF — but I’ll keep on trying!

I haven’t used Kim’s services yet, but I just wanted to let you know that Kim is very professional and knowledgeable. I bought a wedding dress but one week before the wedding I changed my mind, I could not imagine myself getting married in that dress. I bought a gorgeous wedding dress, but it needed some alterations done to it. I brought it to The perfect fit and Kim told me that it would be impossible for her to do the alterations done to the dress that were needed, but she gave me some other ideas and she was so helpful and nice. I will for sure consider her for future alterations.

This is my go to, home base for any alterations. I’ve been coming here for years! The same lady has helped me every single time! She has hemmed almost all of my jeans, and she even does original hem! She has also sewn holes on my husband’s favorite pair of jeans!
I also go to her for sewing something as simple as loose buttons to altering a dress for my bridal shower. Sometimes I bring in outfits that I completely want to alter and she also makes that happen! So far, she’s been able to do everything I’ve asked her, minus my patches for my traveling backpack. Even then, she had a solution for. She referred me to a shop down the street and he was able to do it because he had the heavy duty sewing machine!
They only accept cash or check! Most of the time I pay cash. Be prepared for that! Other than that, they’re great. It’s quick, professional, and it’s good to support local family businesses.

I’ve been coming here for years. Kim is very professional and at times would give me a discount. Her work is also very well done. One time I went in and she was on the phone with someone claiming that she didn’t do the alterations and wasn’t going to pay. (The husband had already went and picked up the dress or whatever it was). Kim kindly said that it’s okay and hung up. I was standing in front of her when she was on the phone and she told me calmly and nicely that some times people do this and that it happens. She wasn’t even angry and continued to ask what I needed altered.

This review is long overdue.
I have been taking my alterations to Kim for the past 4 to 5 years and she always delivers amazing finished products. I can trust her with the easiest and the most complicated pieces, with easy hems and with difficult coats and dresses. And she always tries to be accommodating if I need things done on short notice.
Kim recently altered my lace wedding dress and did a spectacular job. I was a little worried that the task would be impossible since the dress is overlaid with one continuous piece of lace. But Kim was able to shorten the dress in a way that you couldn’t see a seam and managed to keep my scalloped train as well.
She has a loyal customer in me!
Cash only

I was scared to death to get my dress altered. Granted, it wasn’t a wedding dress, it was just a normal dress to attend for a friend’s wedding. But still! I wanted someone who I could trust 100% with my $ 100 dress that I got from Macy’s.
My boyfriend needed to get his suit tailored too. He also Unilocaled around to find the perfect alterations place. It was funny how we both agreed to bring our stuff to The Perfect Fit. The location itself is pretty hidden. When you get into the plaza, park against the wooden fence and walk all the way to the back. There’s also an arrow to guide you where to walk in case you can’t the store. The owner was a really sweet Korean lady. The store was empty and she greeted us right away and told us to put on our outfits in the two changing rooms. She worked on my boyfriend’s suit and we could tell that she knew what she was doing. It was amazing how she could feel the sewing was uneven and offered to fix it up for us too. My boyfriend needed his suit to be slim fitted and his pants to be altered a little shorter. The owner was very quick and finished pinning both his suit and pants in less than 10 minutes!
My dress was also uneven and I needed her to hem it down to be shorter since I’m not a tall person myself. She finished pinning my dress in less than 5 minutes!
The total for suit, pants and dress alternation was $ 130. A little steep but worth every penny. My bf and I picked up our stuff within 2 weeks and was very happy with the result! Oh, and it’s CASH only!

Been here maybe 2 – 3 times for myself to tailoring my suit jacket (sleeves) and pants (length). I believe I dropped it off on a Tuesday and it was ready by next Tuesday for $ 55. Service is excellent and friendly. A close friend of mine always comes here so naturally I take her word and for now I have made this my go to place to have my clothes be… well…“The Perfect Fit”.

Very professional, efficient, and friendly service
Got elbow patches put on my jacket
everything was perfectly done and on time.
Highly recommended!

Been a long time loyal customer here for years and Kim’s work has always been on point. I’ve had work done on tons of suits, pants and dress shirts. Thanks Kim for making my clothes fit look good! She really knows her stuff, a master in her craft. She will also give recommendations and explain why it would be exactly the perfect fit! And to top it off the price is just right for superb work. They take cash (dolla dolla bill yall) and checks.
So if you want to stay fly, look good stylin, and feelin like a million bucks in your clothes holla at Kim. If you wanna look and feel like 2 dollas (2 dollas don’t make anybody holla) then I suggest some other alteration shop lol. I give two thumbs up in recommending the Perfect Fit for any clothing fix/​alteration job.

We are having Kim make all of our valences throughout our house. She had done excellent work. I brought in our old valences and had her remake them using fabric I picked out from Calico Corners. The valences were done quickly and there were no errors. They fit the windows perfectly and are all custom– made. Thanks for the great work, and, of course, I will be coming back for other things. She has hemmed pants for us and other adjustments. She does work efficiently and prices it right.

I am a HIGHLY satisfied BRIDE!
I brought my wedding dress here for alterations after extensive research and Unilocaling! I am SOOOO happy that I brought my gown here. Kim is absolutely amazing. My dress required quite a bit of work, and had intricate beading. I brought my dress in about 3 weeks before the date (eeeks, I know I cut it close) and Kim ensured me that she would make it work. I came back once to try the dress on after she had taken in the top, and WOW it looked stunning! After that Kim was able to hem the rest.
This was a great place to come. EXCELLENT customer service, reasonably priced, and superb work! Kim was patient, listened, and gave appropriate input. I think it’s also important to note that I brought my dress in during prom season so Kim had a lot of other dresses, but definitely took her time and did a beyond amazing job with my dress.
BRIDES: Come here!

Very accurate measurements, friendly customer service, and superb work even with special, tricky pieces.
The only reason it’s not 5 stars is they only accept cash and so you have to make sure you have the right amount on hand and plan an ATM run ahead of time.
Great workmanship, never disappoints.
