Alterations To Go

Sonia is excellent! Highly recommend! I bring her all of our tailoring and have for years. She does great work and is a lovely person!

I ordered a wedding dress online 5 days prior to the date. Larisa, at Alterations-​to-​go was able to alter my dress in two days and worked with me to rearrange the lace in the back so that i could wear a strapless bra! She did an amazing (very difficult) job on a very short notice! Everyone at the wedding commented how great the dress fit me. I could not have been happier.

Brought in 3 long formal dresses to be altered and Laura did a great job. She turned them around quickly and the work is done clean and no additional tweaks were needed. I wish the cost could be slightly less, but the quality of work definitely justifies the cost.

Was so happy with how my dress turned out! I thought it couldn’t be saved, but Alterations To Go came up with a solution that both saved the dress and made it fit better. Would definitely bring my garments here again.

I came over from Europe and had four adjustments on trousers (width) due to loss of weight. Via Unilocal I figured out this place and I don’t regret.
The customization was performed in a professional and satisfied way. And I have some experience with alteration service.
Even when the price was a little bit higher I give 5 stars.

Laura is the best! She worked on my wedding dress, making several difficult alterations. She does awesome work with attention to detail and finished work that couldn’t be differentiated from the original design of the dress! I have had several pants altered and all were done very professionally to where you couldn’t even tell anything been altered. I highly recommend this place!

A great, reliable alterations place is so hard to find! After reading reviews on Unilocal,I decided to give this place a try. Many reviewers mentioned that they did a great job altering jeans so I took a newly bought pair in and crossed my fingers. They were attentive and efficient — when I picked up my altered jeans they were perfect! I also took in a dress for a wedding and they did a lovely job. Great attention to detail! This is now my go-​to alterations place! Just remember when you go in to pick up your clothes, they only take cash or check.

I’ve used this alteration shop a lot during my residency in San Bruno. There are many others in the area but Alteration To Go is the best one. First of all, it’s European quality alteration shop and I was looking for an alteration place like this one for a long time. I’ve had a lot of pants and pairs of jeans fixed there and they did a very good job each time. Some times it looked a little pricey for me, but the quality was great and I agreed to pay even more to get this high quality alteration. Several times I’ve also asked them for more complicated job — to add or change a waistband on a skirt, for example. And they always did good work for me. Also they were giving me a good advices on my clothes, like what length my pants should be hemmed to, or how to make something more updated or fit better.

I had a great experience here.
I had a bridesmaids dress altered and they did a wonderful job. Price was comparable to what the other bridesmaids paid elsewhere and the dress fit perfectly.
Overall: Friendly service, convenient location with plenty of parking, good prices, great results.

I have been coming here for years (maybe an entire decade) and every single alteration has been perfect. I even had my prom dress altered here (taken in, hemmed shorter) and it fit like a glove.

I always get my pant suits and sports coat’s hemmed here. Great job, no complaints!

Great Alterations shop if not the best ever… Mrs. Itkin always takes care of my clothing needs in an A+ way!!! I would highly recommend this shop…

I go here all the time, and they do an amazing job. They stand behind their quality, and I am confident I will get exactly what I want. There are no surprises — I know how my clothes will look, and how much I will have to pay, so I can make a calculated decision that I know I will be happy with.
I want my clothes to fit me perfectly, and this place helps me to achieve just that. I trust their opinion and taste. To me, when choosing a tailor, it’s just as important as when I choose a hairdresser. I know I can count on them to give me an honest advice. I don’t need sugar-​coated lies to make myself feel better. I want an honest opinion to make an honest assessment so that I can get the best results possible.
This is a great team of two very skillful and hardworking women.

After getting an alterations quote at Trudy’s for my wedding dress, I fell in the «oh, crap, how much is this whole wedding is going to cost» mode. The alterations price was the same as the cost of my dress! Granted, I am sure they do a fine job over there, but the mark-​up was just insane.
So, I came to Alterations To Go and they did a fabulous, reasonably priced job with my dress. I needed to hem and bustle my gown as well as take-​in the bust area. I also needed a custom sash.
Larissa is a master at her craft. She truly understands the female form and created a beautiful, perfectly tailored gown that looked exactly like the vision in my mind. In fact, my dress didn’t come with the fixings needed for a bustle and she had to make everything from scratch. The end result was gorgeous and I had a ton of compliments just on the bustle alone.
I highly highly recommend this place for your wedding dress as well as just for regular ol’ street clothes alterations.

the very first time I came I brought 2 costume corsets and they were able to alter within 48 hours for a rush fee and they did a good job so the following week I brought 8 brand new pairs of juicy couture velour and terry sweatpants. She was supposed to hem them longer in the front and shorter in the back so they would not be dragging on the floor. They completely ruined every pair and hemmed to my ankles! I have no idea why they did that horrible horrible job every single pair completely ruined. I can’t even have them let out as they cut them way to short! They came out so bad that the only way to save them is to have another alterations add elastic to the bottom so they can be turned into cargo pants =(stay away from this place! I will post pictures of my sweats when I get a chance!

I didn’t get my bridesmaid dress altered here and deciding to go to another seamstress. She was professional but cold. She pinned my dress (which was big at the top, all the other bridesmaids had the SAME issue) way too high, it had an empire waist with bow that should have been under the bust however she pinned it in the middle of my bust. I am nursing so am large right now and asked her if there was something different she could do. She said the dress was unflattering to my figure, I am too big on top and thats the way it is. The last straw was when she broke down the pricing to me and came to $ 150. As politely as I could I stated it was much more than I had anticipated as other bridesmaids with similar alterations were getting quoted $ 60 – 80. She said those tailor’s work is questionable. After all this, I couldn’t leave my dress with her and told her I need to think about it more and she grabbed the dress from me to take her pins out. I left feeling miserable, ugly, dreading the wedding and having to wear this dress for an entire day.
If you are looking for a good tailor, read my review on Nostalgia Design Studio. She is located in Half Moon Bay and well worth the drive. My dress cost $ 80 to alter and turned out how I imagined… BEAUTIFUL! I am looking forward to wearing it and hope to wear it again and again. Two other bridesmaids went to her and had the same experience.

I have been going here for years and have always been extremely satisfied with the work! The owner is knowledgeable, nice, and very good at what she does. I have asked her to do various alterations, from a simple hem to a full redo of a skirt about 4 sizes too big (a brand whore doesn’t care about the sizes when she sees something good!). If you need quality alterations done in a timely and affordable manner, go to Alterations To Go.

Cash only! =]
Trustworthy enough to handle your most expensive jeans! I was happy with the quality of work they provided me with. They just caught me off guard with the cash only thing… so I had to run into grocery store and get some cash before getting my clothes.
Convenient location. Fast and clean!
Make sure to bring the shoes that you’ll be wearing with your clothes as they make you try on your clothes.

I have had a few pairs of pants altered here, and they do a very good job. It is a bit more pricey than your average cleaner/​tailor, but I have never had a problem with uneven hems– it is definitely worth the cost. I also do not mind that the owners are from Russia, and to judge a place of business on the fact that the people who work there have accents is really closed minded… maybe you shouldn’t live somewhere as diverse as the bay area.

We’ve had many pairs of pants hemmed or altered and they have all been done perfectly. The quality of workmanship is excellent.
