Customer Profile: John

Slender guys like John aren’t always down with an over-sized blazer. The jacket he brought in for his appointment was boxy, the shoulders were way too wide, and the sleeves were a tad too long.

Customer Profile: Bijal in Blue!

Remember Bijal? She brought us a tank top that we spruced up for her.  At the time, she also brought in this lovely blue ensemble that included pants and a tunic. So pretty! But the pants were just a bit too wide and billowy.

Customer Profile: Bijal

We often do in-depth revampings of old clothing, but we also want to feature simple alterations that makes a huge difference on a wardrobe. Clothing can be like haircuts, the smallest details can drive you nuts! Thus was the case with Bijal’s’ s tank top; it was too big and billowed around the armpits and hung a wee bit low.  Not terribly drastic, but still annoying.
