Clothing alterations are time-consuming tasks that require meticulous attention to detail. Each garment is unique in its measurements, fabric composition, and construction. The tailor or seamstress must carefully analyse the garment, determine the required alterations and execute them flawlessly.

Yes tailored clothes do fit better! Because they are specifically adjusted to your unique measurements and body shape. But they obviously come at a cost. Unlike off-the-rack items, which are made to standard sizes, tailored pieces account for unique proportions and nuances in your physique.

Though you may wish to wear something that shows your personal style and the tailored look you're hoping to achieve with your next garment, there's no rule to say this is necessary. Because, of course, your tailor will be able to visualise and create your perfect suit whatever you wear for your consultation.
