Came to get my wedding dress’s corset back replaced with a zipper. Staff are professional and very kind, allowing me to try on the garment and adjust as needed. The prices and turn around time were fair for my services. I recommend them! Thanks, Backstitch!

Bought a jacket with a ripped satin lining and took it here to be repaired. I thought it would have to be re-lined but she was able to actually fix it without redoing it. Quick process and came back like the rips were never there!! Highly recommend!

Backstitch is hands down the BEST choice for all your tailoring, alterations and sewing needs in the Detroit/Highland Park/Hamtramck area and beyond. I have brought a total of three bridesmaid dresses to Kristine over the years. From a simple hem job, to altering a dress to be high-low, to taking a dress down an entire size, and everything in between, she has done AMAZING work on each piece. She is fair, fast and friendly, and she always greets every customer with a huge smile! Backstitch is the ONLY tailor I have -and will continue to- recommended to friends, associates and you kind internet strangers. Finding the right tailor to trust with your important garments can be stressful and time-consuming. Save yourself all that time, effort and stress and take it to Backstitch.
