That IT Girl Rule #6

Get your clothing tailored…

99% of clothing items made today are mass produced and made from patterns that are created to fit standard body sizes. We all know that in the real world, there is no such thing as a standard sized woman. We come in all shapes thus making it impossible for the clothing industry to custom fit each and every one of us.

It is typically very expensive to have clothing custom made, however it is essential to dress and style yourself as if your garments were designed specifically for you. This is where a good tailor enters the scene. Long gone are the days of flooding hemlines. A tailor will alter your clothing to fit your specific body shape and size for usually a very reasonable fee.

If I find a pair of jeans that fit perfectly length wise but are too large in the waist, I will simply drop them off at my trusted tailor and have them taken in an inch or two. This usually cost approximately $10-$20, but having a well fitting garment that compliments my body shape perfectly is priceless.
