Pants Are Too Long
If your pants drag on the ground or bunch up excessively at the ankle, it’s a clear sign they need hemming for a proper fit.
– Gapping at the Waist
If pants or skirts gape at the waist but fit well elsewhere, a tailor can take in the waistband to ensure a snug fit and eliminate the gap.
–
Sleeves Are Too Long or Short
Shirt or jacket sleeves that extend past your wrists or sit too high on your arms can make your outfit look unpolished. Tailoring the sleeve length will improve the overall fit.
Jacket Doesn't Fit at the Shoulders
If a jacket’s shoulders are too tight or too loose, it can affect the entire structure of the garment. Shoulder alterations can give your jacket a cleaner, more flattering fit.
Shirt Gapes at the Bust
If your shirt pulls at the buttons around the chest area or doesn’t sit flat, tailoring can adjust the fit to prevent gaping or pulling.
Skirt or Dress Hangs Awkwardly
If skirts or dresses hang unevenly or appear too loose in certain areas, a tailor can adjust the fit for a more streamlined, flattering look.
Jacket Won’t Button Properly
If a jacket doesn’t button up comfortably without pulling or creating wrinkles, having it tailored can ensure a better fit around the torso.
Excess Fabric in the Back
Excess fabric or bagginess in the back of a dress or shirt is a sign the garment is too loose. Tailoring can remove this extra fabric for a smoother silhouette.
