Boys and girls may come in all shapes and sizes, but school uniform garments don’t. That’s why no back-to-school preparations are complete without a trip to Carmel Tailoring & Fine Clothier, where an experienced tailor can help your kids look their best on the first day of school — and help you save some money!

For a limited time, the Indianapolis area’s favorite fine clothier is offering a 10% back-to-school discount on all uniform alterations through August 31. Simply bring in your children and their school uniforms for measurements, and let an experienced tailor take care of the rest.

Below, read some tailoring tips to think about as you prep your child’s uniform, according to the team at Carmel Tailoring & Fine Clothier:

• Skirt Length: Hemlines are a major issue for girls with school uniform skirts. Be sure to research uniform policies at your school to help your tailor achieve the correct length.
• Trouser Length: Well-tailored trousers can make a big difference between too-short cuts and too-long fabrics that drag beneath the shoes. A tailor will help you find the right length now and again throughout the year if your child has a growth spurt.
• Skirt Waistline: Some uniform skirts are created in a wraparound style so they can grow along with your child. Your tailor at Carmel Tailoring & Fine Clothier can provide alterations and buttons to ensure that you get the most from your uniform investment.
• Trouser Waistline: Sometimes, the only uniform pants that work for your child’s height are too big in the waist, but an experienced tailor can help. And if your child’s dress code requires a belt, please bring it along, as this may enable the tailor to leave some room in the waistline to allow for future growth.
