Practical Alterations, Clear Fit Checks

What to Expect From an Alteration Visit

At Stitch Craft, each alteration starts with a garment inquiry and an in-person assessment. We check the fit on the body, review the seams and condition, and discuss what can be adjusted within the garment’s construction.

Common requests include trouser and skirt hemming, waist and side-seam adjustment, sleeve-length changes, zipper replacement, and seam or lining repair. The final scope and price are confirmed only after inspection, so the work plan stays clear and realistic.

Every garment is reviewed for fit, fabric, and construction before any work is confirmed.

Standard alteration work usually includes one fitting appointment, with a typical turnaround of four to eight business days depending on the garment and the number of adjustments. Collection includes a final fit review, and any small follow-up adjustment is handled with care if needed.

We also provide written alteration scope notes and garment care and pressing notes so you know how the finished piece was handled. Thread, zippers, lining, buttons, and similar materials are matched when available, but exact matches cannot be guaranteed before confirmation.
