You may have clothes you don’t wear anymore—not because they’re old or out of fashion, but because they don’t fit quite right or don’t match your current style. It’s frustrating to see these perfectly good pieces just hanging in your closet, especially if you spent good money on them.

In these instances, you don’t need to toss them out or let them collect dust—you just need the right alterations to make them work for you again, and J Fields Cleaners offers this service in Rancho Santa Margarita and nearby areas.

Just let us know the garments you need help altering and we ensure you get exactly what you envision for each piece. Contact us today at 949-766-3302 to schedule a fitting!

What Makes the Alterations Service at J Fields Cleaners Truly Exceptional

Certain qualities clearly define a great tailor from someone just doing quick fixes with a sewing machine. These distinctive characteristics include an eye for detail, steady hands, the understanding of how fabric moves, and—most importantly—the ability to make a garment fit like it was made just for you. At J Fields Cleaners, we take alterations seriously because we know the difference between “good enough” and truly tailored to you. That’s what sets us apart.

When you trust us with your alterations, you get:

Skilled Craftsmanship: Our tailors have years of hands-on experience. Whether it’s reshaping a jacket, taking in a dress, or hemming your favorite jeans, we handle every stitch with care and precision.

Personalized Fit Consultations: We don’t believe in guesswork. We take the time to understand how you want your clothes to fit and make sure each adjustment matches your preferences and body type.

High-end Equipment and Tools: We use professional-grade tailoring equipment that helps us deliver clean, durable results—no puckering, crooked seams, or shortcuts.

Attention to Fabric and Construction: Different materials require individual techniques. From delicate silks to heavy wool, we work with your garment’s construction, not against it, to maintain its original integrity while enhancing the fit.

Consistent Quality Control: Before anything goes back to you, we double-check every alteration. We make sure the final fit is flattering, comfortable, and exactly what you expected—if not better.

Brought in an older leather jacket in bad shape. Had been sprayed with perfume and had lots of wrinkles. I was just hoping to alleviate the smell, but not only was the smell mitigated, the jacket was also returned nearly wrinkle free. I wouldn’t hesitate to bring them any of my leathers after this experience.

I don’t have enough words to describe this wonderful business establishment! Everyone is kind and courteous, and they do excellent work. The prices are honest and they are meticulous about cleaning things. I found them after having taken a duvet to another local cleaner, paid an arm and a leg and found the same stains and smells still on the duvet. At J Fields my items always come back looking and smelling like new! Plus everyone is so nice and so pleasant it becomes and errand I always look forward to.

I have been using J. Fields Cleaners since I moved to Rancho Santa Margarita last year. Their service is excellent and very convenient. They pick up and drop off twice per week. If I have forgotten anything then I can always drop it off at their store.

Why the Right Fit is Just as Important as the Style

If you're a fashion-conscious shopper, you already know style can make a statement—but fit is what makes it unforgettable. You could wear the trendiest outfit on the rack, but if it doesn’t sit right on your shoulders, hug you in the right places, or fall at the right length, it can still fall flat. That’s because the best clothes aren’t just stylish—they’re tailored to you.

Here’s Why Fit Changes Everything:

A Great Fit Elevates Any Outfit

Even the simplest piece—like a plain white shirt—can look high end if it’s been altered to fit your shape. That perfect shoulder line, the right sleeve length, the way it tapers at the waist? That’s what makes it look custom made.

Confidence Comes from Comfort

When your clothes actually fit, you don’t have to fidget or adjust all day. You stand taller, move easier, and feel more like yourself. That’s the power of a perfect fit.

Tailoring Gives Old Pieces New Life

A few alterations can turn a rarely worn item into a go-to favorite. Why buy new when you can make what you already own work better for you?

You Deserve Clothes That Fit Your Body

Off-the-rack sizing wasn’t made for everyone—but tailoring is. Whether you’re short, tall, curvy, or somewhere in between, our team at J Fields Cleaners makes your wardrobe fit your actual shape—not a factory standard.
