Questions about a specific garment or a deadline? Call your store.

Do I need an appointment for alterations?

Appointments are recommended for a fitting. Book at Creyts & Saginaw or East Lansing so you can choose an available time. For a simple repair that does not need a fitting, you can drop your garment off at any Baryames store.

Which fitting should I book?

Choose the one that matches your garment: pants and shorts, shirts and blouses, skirts, dresses, outerwear, suit coats, full suits, special occasion dresses or prom dresses. Not sure? Book a 15-minute consultation.

How long will my alterations take?

Timing depends on the garment and the work involved. Your tailor will confirm when it will be ready. If you have an event or a deadline, call your selected store before booking to ask about availability.
