ALTERATION CHECK-LIST
- Length of dress and jackets – check your proportions – Golden Rule on separates 1/3 – 2/3.
- Trouser length – check trouser break on top of your shoes – half break works well – jeans can be worn longer.
- Sleeve length on jackets with exceptions for ladies – your sleeve should end at the top of your wrist – 1cm of shirt to be seen.
- Shoulder widths of jacket or blazer should be sharp especially if formal – if you don’t fit a standard size it needs to be fitted for you personally.
- Waist line – emphasis on proportions to bring out the best of your body shape.
