Perfect Fit Tailor Shop & Alterations

Take all my suits for work here and the quality and timeliness of their work can’t be beat! The owner Lyuba always makes me smile and always has a joke to keep you on your toes, simply the best!

I took a pair of slacks to Perfect Fit to be hemmed. I went back to pick them up on the day they were to be ready, and was told that they only accept cash or checks for payment, no credit card. When I handed my check to the friendly lady at the desk, she suddenly began to question me about my check and asked if it were an ‘in state’ check. I was a little taken aback. I’m wasn’t sure what it was about my appearance or check that caused suspicion. After I had written my phone number on it and assured her that I’m a resident, she warned me, «I’ll break you» (actual words!!) if my check wasn’t good. Woah… I have a sense of humor and all, but how rude. If your policy is to accept checks, then accept a check from your customer and don’t treat them like a criminal unless it’s proven that they are. My slacks look great, but the customer service was a huge turnoff. I think I’ll use a different tailor the next time I need alterations.

Lyuba is simply the BEST! I come all the way from Lake St. Louis to see her and have her tailor my pants. You won’t find better in St. Louis!

This place is awesome, my girlfriend and I went with Grandma and Luba the owner was so nice to grandma and Luba is great with all the customers. The job is really professionally done and the price is very affordable, best place to go if you need any job done on your clothes.

Best tailor in town goes to Lyuba! I use to buy American made suits that I wore for years. She works her magic touch on each suit that helped transform my wardrobe to looking more custom fit and precise to my measurements. Quick service, friendly atmosphere, and best quality!

Horrible experience, will never go back. I told Lyuba exactly how much I wanted my skirt shortened. She insisted It should be shorter. I made her re-​pin it three times because she would not do it the way I wanted it. I should have taken that as a sign and left, but she came highly recommended so after she finally did what I wanted I left the skirt with her. Sure enough, when I picked up the skirt it was two inches shorter than I specified. In addition, the hem was sloppy and not even the correct color thread. I refused to pay for my ruined item and will never go there again.

I was very disappointed with my experience at Perfect Fit. I took my daughter to get her prom dress hemmed. When we dropped the dress off, Luba, the owner was there and she was lovely. However, when we picked it up today, one of her employees was there and she gave us the long formal gown very wrinkled and creased in several places. When we brought it in, it was perfect and when we picked it up, it was a mess. When I asked her to steam it, she was rude and looked at me like I was being impossible. Who ever hemmed the dress did not steam it and just tried to pass it off as finished. Very unprofessional and quite expensive. I will not be back.

Perfect Fit is the best tailoring service I’ve been able to find in St. Louis. I’ve taken them several dresses to hem up (jersey stretch material, chiffon, silk) and all have come back at the perfect length. Yes, it is a bit expensive, but you get what you pay for. I needed two dresses back in just three days to take to an out-​of-​state wedding, and they were ready to go (even early) on the day I was to pick them up. I’ll certainly bring other things back in future. A word to the wise — best to call ahead and ask what the best time is to bring in your item to be pinned and fitted. Also, be sure that you very clearly state what you would like done and make sure it is written on the ticket — those tickets are basically their entire management system, so pay attention :)

Expensive — takes a long time to get things done, and when we got the shirt back from being mended only have of it was fixed so we had another two trips to get it done right.
Agree with the annoying dog running around (and I’m a BIG animal person)
She has a big following since she’s in a great area and there is no other competition.

Brought a pair of jeans here with very specific instructions on how I wanted them to be tailored. There were only two alterations that I wanted to be done which were length and crotch adjustment. I brought a sample pair of jeans to compare to and was told that it wasn’t right to make the same alterations to these jeans because every pair is different. I was told that I should get the legs tapered instead of getting the front crotch brought up. I reluctantly agreed (my fault, but she was very pushy). I picked up my jeans and they were tight around the legs but the crotch was still lower than I wanted it. I brought the jeans back and after much convincing I got her to do the crotch adjustment that I wanted originally. When I received the jeans I found that they were now even tighter (a consideration that I knew would happen when bringing up the front crotch). I ask her if I bought another pair to get just the crotch altered if she would do it at no charge and she said no. Customer service is poor. I will have to eat the cost of the jeans and the alterations but I won’t be coming back.

This place is convenient for me, and they do a good job with my basic tailoring needs, mainly tapering shirts for $ 20.
Cash only.
This place needs a visit from the dog whisperer, there is a really annoying dog running the show in there — he barks like crazy.

I picked this place (mostly due to the positive Unilocal reviews) to get alterations done on a bridesmaid’s gown. I needed a small shoulder adjustment and hem. I was told it would be $ 60, which seemed reasonable for the amount of work.
When I came to pick the dress up I discovered that the hem wasn’t done. Instead of apologizing, the owner sort of shrugged and told me she didn’t write it on the ticket so that’s why it didn’t get done… um, OK… She was able to get it done before the wedding but charged me an extra $ 45! for the hem. The total cost of alterations on a simple dress was almost as much as the cost of the dress itself!
She seems to have very loyal customers but I wouldn’t recommend the place or go back. Waaay too pricey and seems to take her customers for granted. Also, they only take in-​state checks or cash for payment… no credit cards.

Cheaper, better and faster than any other tailor that I’ve ever been too. Plus, the ladies are so nice and accommodating.

Perfect Fit is expensive, but she does an excellent job. I’ve gone to cheaper tailors that wrecked pants and skirts that required more alteration than a hem, so now I only go to Perfect Fit (and she knows it ;)). She does go above and beyond, though, to make her work look good.

Let me preface this by saying that I had never been to a tailor before I went to Perfect Fit, so I don’t have a lot to compare to. But I have read reviews of other tailor shops and feel confident that I can trust my instincts on this one.
I was in a wedding a few weeks ago and we groomsmen bought the same suit off a big warehouse liquidator website. As the pants were pretty long and the jacket was ill-​fitting, I had to get it tailored. I found Perfect Fit on Unilocal and headed over on a Tuesday afternoon, five days before the wedding. When I entered the shop, Lyuba, the woman at the front desk, immediately greeted me and sent me into a dressing room to put the suit on. I walked out with the suit on and stepped up onto the box in front of the mirrors. In about five seconds, she had assessed everything that the suit needed to fit perfectly — one sleeve raised, pant legs raised and cuffed, chest taken in, and the bottom of the jacket raised. I didn’t know it could be so quick!
We agreed on everything but raising the bottom of the jacket, since I wasn’t ready to pay for all of that at once, but when I picked the suit up on Saturday, all the agreed alterations were finished and the price was fairly reasonable for how fantastic the fit was after the alterations. Lyuba and her team were so friendly — they all loved the button earrings I made for myself and kept complimenting me on them. I also got to meet Charlie, the friendly old dog who stays up front.
After fearing a trip to the tailor for so long, I can only say that Perfect Fit made the process quick, easy, painless, and actually kind of fun. Do yourself a favor and get your clothing tailored here — the reviews couldn’t get any better!

To anyone who is buying a suit, skip the in-​store tailoring, don’t go to any other tailor, please for the sake of your clothes come to Perfect Fit.
I came to Perfect Fit tailor shop when Leonard’s Tailoring butchered a suit I had just bought. After spending a substantial sum of money on the suit it looked so bad it was almost unwearable. The other shop just looked at me and said there was nothing they could do to fix it. Well that wasn’t going to work, so I headed over to Perfect Fit.
Lyuba at Perfect Fit was super helpful and said that she could fix my suit. It was ready two days later and the tailoring was cheap. Best part of all, the suit looks great. I won’t trust my clothing to anyone else.

I am incredibly impulsive and I was looking for wedding dress ideas online, found one I just totally fell in love with and bought it immediately — the problem was it was a sample size. Although the designer’s measurements were the same as my measurements, for some reason it would not zip in the back and there was too much room in the front. I went to some other alterations shop in the city on Brentwood and she told me she’d have to cut out the entire back to make it fit and then charge me $ 500… I was just shocked.
The problem was that the dress is very intricate, with a lace overlay. I brought it to Lyuba and the gang at Perfect Fit and she had a great attitude — less than a month after I brought it to her, the dress fits perfectly and I swear I can’t even see where they made any changes. And on top of that — they charged me a fraction A FRACTION of what the other alterations store quoted me without cutting anything off of it. If I could put a picture on here I would — it’s just unbelievable. Everyone who has seen the dress on me now says it looks like it was made just for me. Even if I move out of St. Louis I swear I’m shipping my clothes to Perfect Fit to have them tailored — there isn’t a tailor better than Lyuba and her team anywhere in the US.

Upon a recommendation from a good friend, I’ve been taking my clothes to Perfect Fit for many years now. Yes, it does cost a bit more than other tailor shops, but the quality of the work is worth it! The service is unbeatable and all of the women who work there are experienced and can do just about anything you need.
«Ellloooo skeeeny meeenie» (translation: «Hello, Skinny Minnie») is how I’m usually greeted at the front door. The owner sounds JUST like Natasha from «Rocky and Bullwinkle». If she likes you, she will ask, «Would you like to pet my dooogie?» — her Schnauzer that sleeps all day near the front door.
I have sent other friends to Perfect Fit and they are always satisfied with the work. Will continue to go back, no questions asked!

So far, so good. I just took a bridesmaid dress in for alterations. The good part — they’re going to have it ready for me by next Tuesday (fast!), the bad part — my friend picked out a dress with 3 layers of fabric (satin, tulle, then another layer of fabric) that requires a train.
I also have to have the bodice let out. Total cost for this alteration is going to be $ 140. I’m not happy about the price, but I don’t think it’s Perfect Fit Tailoring’s fault. The woman I was working with there was very nice and explained the reason the cost is so high, so I don’t feel like I’m getting ripped off.
I’ll be back later to post if the dress was altered correctly on the 1^st shot!
UPDATE
_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​
Dress turned out beautifully, it fit perfectly in the bodice and the length was just right. The only problem was that there were two ribbons that dropped down from the empire waist of the dress, and it was obvious they needed to be hemmed with the bottom seam of the dress. I had to have them fix that. Other than that, I was happy with it — but I don’t think I should have had to pay $ 140 — the other bridesmaids (who live in Albuquerque, NM) paid around $ 100 for their alterations.
Overall, I’m satisfied with the quality and the speed of service. I’ll probably use them again. I like the dog that hangs out in the front named Charlie, and all the people in there are wonderfully interesting (clientele and staff.)

The quality of service is very good here for the price.
I bought a pair of jeans, and they were a little to long, so I got them hemmed, with the original hemming attached. Saved my jeans, and they look way better now. Total cost $ 20.
Simple hem jobs are only $ 12, for most items.
The best part was the SAME DAY SERVICE. I think I got lucky and caught them at the right time, but it was awesome to get what I wanted done, and pick it up a couple of hours later.
