Pants, dresses, and sleeves shortened or lengthened with a clean, invisible finish.

Wedding & Formalwear

Gowns, suits, and bridal party pieces fitted precisely ahead of the big day.

Patches & Mending

Tears, worn spots, and small repairs fixed so your favourite piece sticks around.

FAQs

Good to know.

Where are you located?

Heritage Stitch is a home-based studio in Windsor, Ontario. I share the exact address once we've booked a fitting time together.

Do you accept cash or e-transfer?

Yes — I accept both cash and e-transfer. Payment is due at pickup unless we've agreed on something different ahead of time.

How long do alterations take?

Simple alterations — hems, buttons, small repairs — usually take about 5 days. Bigger jobs, like wedding gowns or custom fitting, depend on the scope of the piece, and I'll give you a clear timeline at your fitting.

Do I need an appointment?

Yes, please — since it's a home-based studio, I ask that you book ahead rather than drop by unannounced. Send a message and I'll find a time that works.

What should I bring?

Bring the garment itself, plus any shoes or accessories you'll be wearing with it if the fit depends on them (like heels for a hem length).
