The Alteration Shoppe - The stress came out STUNNING - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Grosse Pointe, Michigan

It is open every day, and it's a darling shop in the mews on Fisher Road in GPF. Purses are adorable...a busy place! read more

Unprofessional & Shoddy work Worst experience I've had: I dropped of 2 blazers mid Sept, went back 4 times to pickup- each time they were not ready, no one called with an update. Finally got my blazers Oct 15th. They were short staffed but should hv communicated this or not taken in new projects. Was the job well done, not at all very poor work, sadly, I would never recommend this business. read more

DO NOT GO HERE. Manager was extremely rude to a customer who came in to have a dress refitted due to post partum issues. Asked if she was planning on losing more weight then said there was nothing she could do. Extremely dismissive and rude. Do not give this place your business. read more

The Alteration Shoppe in Grosse Pointe has gone down the tubes since it changed hands. No followup, no dates given when you leave items regarding when they will be ready. No calls when clothing is actually ready. The new owner micromanages everything instead of leaving her highly skilled seamstresses alone to do do the work. Poor communication between the owner and employees. Sad. It used to be a great place. AVOID! read more

Super friendly and welcoming environment. The new owner is lovely and the several pieces I've had altered here have been perfect. Planning to take a few more items there this week! read more

Great work at reasonable rates, and good turnaround between drop-off and pick-up. Very small shop, but quality service. I'll be returning here again. read more

The Alteration Shoppe - Front of shop - right display - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Grosse Pointe, Michigan

See all

New owner asked for cash stating they don't take credit cards (under the table income?). The new seamstress was asked to reinforce silk pillow cases, but each one was sewn in a manner that did absolutely nothing to reinforce it and even left half of the zipper opening untouched. Will be going elsewhere in the future. I know how to sew; I just don't have the time. They are looking for quick and easy money. read more

we love the alteration shoppe! my whole family has gone here for years and had great experiences every time. Sue altered my wedding dress PERFECTLY with lace I didn't know how she could make it look normal but you couldn't even tell if was altered. i could not have asked for anything better. I asked them to alter a bridesmaid dress for my best friends wedding, and to use the excess dress to make my 4 month old son a bow tie and they did so without charging me for it which was so kind! highly recommend. especially under the new ownership! read more

We dropped a bridesmaid dress off to be shortened and the slit made higher 6 weeks before the needed time. Tried the dress on the day before the wedding and noticed the slit was not made higher. We went back to the Alteration Shoppe and the woman claimed she could not do the work even though she said she would when we brought in. She should have called us so we could take it elsewhere. REALLY poor workmanship. DO NOT GO HERE read more

I will never go to this place again. The service is slow, the seamstress (the Italian one) is rude, unhelpful, and lazy, and half the time the clothes aren't correctly altered. I had two separate occasions with two different seamstresses and the garments were correctly altered or done when they stated they would be. They have no price list posted, and there hours are crummy. Forget this place, I can go to Belding Cleaners pay the same price or a little cheaper, and get the clothes done faster and accurately, as well as deal nicer staff. read more

I brought a suit coat in for a repair. I need it for a funeral on Saturday morning. I came to pick it up 4:30 Friday and they were closed. Now I don't have a suite for the funeral. They could of called to say they were closing early. This is really bad. read more
