I totally agree about the necessity of alterations. Nearly all my clothes are altered. I don’t expect to pick up a piece of clothing and have it fit perfectly. The difference is; I do all my alterations myself. I have been altering for 9 years and it is a lot easier than people expect. I will try to put together some posts on my blog asiaandbam.blogspot.com showing people how to alter if they choose.

I look at it as saving money, in a way. I’ve been shopping my closet lately for items I would wear more if they fit better. Instead of buying new pieces, I’ve taken a few of my “back of the closet” items to be altered and brought them back into rotation. Sometimes it’s as simple (and inexpensive) as shortening the hem/sleeves or a new neckline.

I am petite and curvy! So I have to have everything tailored. I have a couple of dresses I haven’t gotten tailored because I did not have any money. But as soon as my first couple of paychecks come in, i will be going to the tailor.

One way to “save” on this cost is to buy clothes at Brooks Brothers. Okay, so maybe not save. That said, they will tailor a garment for the life of the item! So.. after having zero luck trying to buy fitted dress shirts, I sprung for the BB ones and I finally have some that fit!

I’m an off size, but am fortunate enough to have free alterations available from our uniforms department – that will change if I quit, but until then I get almost all my clothes altered to fit better. It’s amazing how good you feel in proper fitting clothes.

I want to have a tailored suit, but those kinds of tailors who are offering you coffee’s while you wait for him to take measures. Every once in a while when I’m buying new suits I pay a visit to my tailor.
