The world of fashion is characterized by glitz, glamour, innovation, and cutting-edge forward thinking. Each season, designers at every level, from haute couture to more accessible everyday brands, tap into their creative genius to craft collections that inspire the masses.
Consumers adore this. Clothing is one of the top expressions of the self, and being able to adorn yourself in garments that you feel align with your unique personal taste is a wonderful way to help others understand who you are deep inside!
However, buying things off the rack can be tricky. Things can feel perfectly fitted on one part of your body, but entirely loose or tight on another. While fashion designers do their best to sew clothes that fit the human body properly, this can be a challenge as we are all different shapes and sizes.
In fact, anyone who works in the fashion world knows that tailoring is an essential part of feeling confident in any outfit you wear. Finding an amazing pair of dress pants is so rare, that you can’t give up on that special pair when you find them in a store. With a simple trip to the tailors, you can make those elegant pants fit like they were made for you!
The art of tailoring is one that is truly functional and deserves to be appreciated, allow us to explain:
1. Tailors Prevent Waste
We all have that favourite piece in the back of our closet, whether it’s a dress, shirt, or skirt, that collects dust each month that passes due to its ill fit on your body. But why on earth are so many of us complicit in the fact that one of our prized possessions, a gorgeous clothing item that exudes style, is sitting on a shelf unworn?
Oftentimes, people end up getting rid of the clothes in their closet that don’t fit quite right. Every year, thousands upon thousands of clothing items end up in landfills because people do not take the time to donate them. This wreaks havoc on the environment and perpetuates that idea that clothes are fixed objects that bodies must fit into perfectly.
This couldn’t be farther from the truth! With an expert tailor, you can prevent that waste and get your garment fitting seamlessly, regardless of your body type!
2. Tailors Help your Clothes work for you
Off the top of your head, what are some characteristics of a good outfit? You may be thinking:
- A good outfit is made of fine materials.
- A good outfit holds the gaze of the entire room, if only for a moment.
- A good outfit was made ethically.
- A good outfit fits well!
It cannot be overstated how important a polished fit is to an overall outfit. A stunning outfit knows how to flatter the body in all the right places, and when you purchase clothes that aren’t doing this, it detracts from your overall appearance, no matter how beautiful the clothes are.
Custom-tailored clothes are a must for anyone who is looking to make a statement!
