3 Ways Tailoring Can Improve Your Wardrobe
Stylists know that the secret to finding great-fitting clothes is actually to have clothes tailored to your own measurements. Tailoring can upgrade your wardrobe in three key ways.
- Tailoring can make clothes look high-end. You can buy something that’s relatively inexpensive and have it tailored to fit your body perfectly. It doesn’t matter how much a suit cost you if it doesn’t fit right.
- Tailoring complements your unique body type. Ready-to-wear clothes are designed for a fit model (a model who tries on clothes for a designer), but a tailor can alter them for your body shape and lifestyle needs. Perhaps your clothes are a bit too long or slightly baggy; a tailor can help you find the perfect fit. For example, if you have a wheelchair, you can crop your jackets so they hit just above the wheel.
- Tailors can repair damaged favorites. Did the zipper break on the gorgeous vintage sheath dress you found at a thrift store? A good tailor can fix that. Though they can’t always work miracles, tailors can save clothing you love that is in danger of becoming unwearable.
