Having your clothes suited can help improve your outward appearance, even if you don’t purchase the most expensive garments. Whether you want to tailor your entire wardrobe or just a formal gown, it’s important to know what you should do throughout the tailoring appointment. Your actions can help them help you.

How You Can Help Your Tailor During Appointments

Use Clothing Close to Your Size

It’s often best to start out with clothing as close to your size as possible, within one or two sizes. Most garments don’t contain enough allowance to let out much more than this, so don’t start with something too small for you. You should also keep in mind that it’s typically easier to take in a garment, which means tailors often prefer that you purchase items that best fit the largest part of your body. 

Call Ahead

Not all tailors require appointments. However, call ahead and find out if this is the case. Even if arrangements are not necessary, you should consider calling in advance and letting them know that you plan to visit that day. This will help you to avoid going in when they are busy since you want your tailor to have time to precisely help you.

Try Not to Move

During the appointment, when your clothes are on your body, do not move unless they indicate otherwise. Moving and fidgeting can cause the garment to fit unevenly. This is especially important for sleeves and hems, as mistakes will be much more visible. If you’re not sure whether it’s okay to move, ask the tailor before doing so.
