Surprising Adjustments Your Tailor Could Make To Your Clothes That You Probably Never Knew

You know you can make some adjustments to clothes that you love but are a tad too large or long for you but there are probably some corrections you never knew your tailor can make. Your tailor can also replace the collar on a favorite button-down or raise the neckline on a blouse that isn’t as modest as should be.
Replace The Cuff or Collar of Your Shirt
It is possible to replace a worn-out collar or cuff on a favorite button down shirt. This alteration will usually be dependent on whether the material is available and it is quite expensive and you should consider doing it only for shirts you love.
Change A Neckline
If you love a certain shirt or have one that is made of a luxurious fabric you can’t imagine letting go of but you detest the neckline, you can ask your tailor if he can change it up.
A professional will be able to switch things around. They may add a panel to cover up cleavage or remove the collar from a button-down.

Line A Shear
If you bought a dress you really liked but didn’t realise that it was shear until you got home, your tailor can help you make the necessary adjustments.
Your tailor can sew in a nude liner that matches your skin tone and hides every other thing.
Hem A Pleated Skirt
Pleated mini skirts are a trendy fashion piece and it is quite impossible for you to make the adjustments yourself except you have professional training. However, a professional can press the pleats out, shorten the skirt, and redo each pleat with an iron.
Close Pockets
The pockets of pants often fold out at the hips, a part of the body you probably don’t want extra volume. You can ask your tailor to close up your pockets for a more streamlined look.
Add A Zipper To The Back Of Your Dress
If you have a dress that you find difficult to get into, you can add a zipper. What should however put into consideration is the fact that the body of the dress will be a bit tighter.
Adjust The Shoulder of Your Suit Jacket
It is best you but suits and jackets with shoulders that fit properly, as altering it can be pretty expensive. If you however have one you can let go of, give it a professional touch.
Ultimately, the shoulder seam should meet the sleeve of the jacket right where your arm meets your shoulder. The entire shoulder should lie flat.
Reduce The Body of Your Shirt Or Jacket
Your tailor will be able to take in an inch or so of your shirt or jacket. You should however remember to keep it as reasonable as possible, as the alteration will likely be limited to about one size down.
