Advantages Of Expert Alterations And Tailoring
Clothing purchased off the rack is designed to fit a generic body with typical dimensions. True bodies, on the other hand, do not come in one size fits all. The best you can usually hope for when buying off the rack is a “good enough” suit. You can have off-the-rack purchases altered to look like they were custom-made for you for a fraction of the cost of true custom tailoring
Not only is each person’s body unique, but it also changes from year to year. As a result, if you’ve lost 10 pounds in the last year, your jeans from last winter are likely to be too big this winter. You should just throw them away or keep them in your wardrobe in case you gain weight again, but with a little tweaking, you might start wearing them again and avoid having to buy new ones.
Fashion trends change throughout the year, and clothes with a lot of life left in them can end up in the back of the closet just because they appear to be out of style. Raising the hemline or removing a couple of bulky shoulder pads may also suffice to bring them up to date. Even changing the buttons to a more modern design will give the garment a new look.
Old is Gold
Worn-out clothing does not have to be discarded. You might be able to extend their life by removing a lining or turning a faded neck. If this isn’t possible, a professional tailor can recreate your old favorites by making an exact replica of the dress. This is an expensive procedure, but it may be worth it if you have a dress that you adore and cannot replace.
Take advantage of special offers
On rare occasions, you may find a truly exquisite bargain on a sale rack or in a thrift store, but it simply does not fit. Instead of giving up the bargain, you could take it to a tailor and have it altered to fit. Also, if the price is low enough, the net expense is always less than paying retail.
