I know it’s a complete show stopper, with that said, this sexy and sophisticated dress is certainly on the dressier side. Curve hugging bodycon look, have a look at some other almost white bodycon dress options here in a range of styles and costs, if you like the tight. So this designer features a couple of adorable almost white dresses, all within this price point. Now this dress smooths everything out you can party in confidence, while you might traditionally think that tight fabric would reveal insecurities. For example, available in both plus size and standard sizing, with that said, this dress is an awesome choice for brides of all shapes and sizes to rock at their bachelorette party. Check their other great designs here, I’d say in case you’re shopping on a budget. I think actually, To be honest I didn’t think most sweaters COULD be altered and I like to wear more fitted tops.
To be honest I haven’t thought to alter my sweaters, I’m pretty sure I also have broad shoulders and a narrow rso and waist. Nonetheless, it’s worth a try, if not, I can return it. I’m sure that the next time I shop, I will have a look at the men’s department and see what I can find. Now let me tell you something. In better quality clothing, a pattern like a plaid or horizontal stripes should match up at the seams, plackets, yokes, sleeves, and similar This is a bit trickier with large patterns or with garments with plenty of seams. For vertical stripes or smaller scale patterns, non matching in a garment a serious poser. Just think for a moment. Linings should’ve been created from quality material and should’ve been ample enough to allow for sitting, stretching, and so forth.
Most jackets and coats have a vertical gusset/pleat on the back lining to allow for arm movement, bending, etcetera Wellmade jackets have a taped edge holding lining to the jacket material.
I dislike the feel of cheap poly/rayon next to my skin.
As a matter of fact, By the way I almost always cut the linings OUT of my pants and skirts b/c of this. You see, if the lining feels like a sandwich baggie, the pants fabric becomes meaningless, even if the pants themselves are the highest quality wool. I never buy lined pants b/c the quality of the lining is so poor. You spot it from across the store -the perfect dress in your color, in the style that flatters your body, at a price that won’t bankrupt you. Besides, a quick dash into the fitting room -and you decide it’s perfect! Usually, it’s worth a try, that will only work for certain kinds of shoes types. So that’s opening up a whole new world for the majority of us, I’m sure. In addition to Dottie’s tip about hats and similar items, I love the tip about cashmere scarves and gloves.
I actually never thought to look for shoes in the men’s department, I have big feet. Bette. On to the men’s department! I’d say in case you have any suggestions about that especially I will love to hear it. With you working in retail you may just know of one. So, now it’s unwearable. It’s probably top-notch guide I’ve everead on spotting quality garments! It is I used to count on Talbot’s for good tees but the 100 pima cotton tank I got there last year to wear with a coordinating cardi developed a hole in the front after 2 washings! I’ve mentioned before that like you, Know what, I am also very disappointed in the quality of clothing over the last few years. I’ve yet to find one at any price point. Dottie, thank you for this guest post. I want to ask you something. Why is it I can’t seem to find a ‘wellmade’, thick cotton, nonseethrough almost white tee???
Loads of thanks for a wellwritten informative post.
Seam allowance is getting very rare these days, and look at how much seam allowance is available, especially if you should lengthen sleeves or hems or let out a waist, while inspecting the seams. Stop shopping a strategy that I may be able to maintain only until I really, really need to buy something oreplace a beloved blouse, and stuff I am thinking about getting out my trusty Singer again…. I can not stress enough that if you are a victim of shoddy workmanship, take the offending garment back to the store and ask to speak with the department or store manager about the quality issue. If we don’t speak up nobody else will. DON’T just throw your clothes out, however tempting this might be. Known your goal may be to. Fact, you may look for to contact the clothing company as well. Did you hear about something like that before? Thanks, Debbie and all you who ok the time to post something. Clothes should NOT fall apart with one wearing or even two or three. It’s very disappointing when a favorite brand suddenly starts to sell inferior goods so I write letters.
Great thing about your size, Debbie, is that it equates to a man’s 8 the size most stores use for display.
At places like DSW or ‘OffBroadway’, you can simply walk the aisles and try any shoe.
Basically the 8’s are often found in the sale racks, as few men have feet that size. Therefore this may require you to leave the more dimly lit dressing room for natural light or even the more brightly lit ‘checkout’ area. Take a few minutes to really examine the dress, preferably in good light, before you head to the sales desk. Is it? I’d say in case I used your approach, I’d save both time and shoulder and back pain… I’m glad it’s not could’ve saved if I had taken more time to consider the garments before trying them on!
Your approach when you shop is a perfect one. We have got some timely observations by Clare Waight Keller, the creative director at the French fashion house Chloé, in an interview with Luke Leitch, deputy fashion editor of the Telegraph, published on January 11. I’m happily surprised that the details I relish in my clothing are all signs of quality! I enjoyed reading this, thank you dottie! I’ve never had a lined pair of pants, they sound fabulous! Not all of my clothes are of impeccable quality but all my favorites have lots of the details you mention. I am dismayed the decline in quality in commercially sewn clothing I’ve seen garments come apart at the seams on the first wearing.
I like dressmaker details that provide plenty of pizzazz to clothing smocking, French cuffs, bowtie necklines, and suchlike, especially since I wear a bunch of solid colors.
Thanks, Meli, for your comment.
g r r’!!! All nice job aligning the pattern. Whenever matching a plaid or horizontal stripe may mean using more fabric to cut out the individual pieces of the garment, so this drives up the cost of the garment. On p of this, I try to find a small scale pattern to mitigate the lack of alignment with the pattern, So if I’m buying an inexpensive tshirt with an overall pattern. Above is an example of a Jones NYC wrap front blouse with set in sleeves that I’ve owned for years.
Notice that extra care was used to match the strong horizontal pattern at the back seam and at the sleeves.
The shoulder insert is fairly unobtrusive.
Now this silk blouse was on sale at a famous department store’s outlet, and was actually worth the money for the luscious quality of the silk and the attention to details. Usually, I had a coat relined by a sewing friend, and even with her fee and the cost of the lining material, it was cheaper than replacing the expensive, ‘all wool’ coat that had years of wear left. I had a bunch of trouble finding quality coat lining fabric, and when I did it was a bit expensive. Maharani mentioned using p quality lining so it’s key! Essentially, overall, I couldn’t have found a quality wool coat for the tal cost of relining.
By the way I wore this coat for an additional 8 years, the investment in relining really paid off, as I said.
Bemberg rayon is my tailor’s #2 liningif the pants had been new, or if she had made them from scratch, she would have used silk.
I’m talking about the clothing standards that obtained when I was young and And so it’s sad to see how they have degraded. Generally, with maturity comes acceptance of one’s self. Then again, mostly there’s a lot more information out there bombarding us quite often it needs some effort to tune it out. Certainly, wisdom I’m comfortable with my personal style and clothing choices for decades so no percentage of hectoring from the fashion press will convince me to buy lizard print skinny pants or carry a heavy, oversized and By the way I avoid text alerts on sales, and go blank during TV ads for stuff. Now please pay attention. Why be tempted when one’s goals are to stick to a budget and maintain a wardrobe plan? My advice is to look at men’s cashmere sweaters and buy a classic men’s crew neck or vneck instead of a women’s sweater.
Plenty of women’s cashmere I see day is almost ‘see through’.
Even when you find a garment that is 100percentage wool or silk or cotton, the fabric should be of lesser quality.
Lots of people bemoan the decline in quality in cashmere sweaters, even within the past 10 years. It’s nice silk, just less luxurious and opaque than the first blouse. However, the first one was bought in a ‘high end’ department store 20 years ago -and my hand inside the blouse can barely be seen through the thick silk fabric. Besides, the second one was purchased in another department store 10 years ago for about very similar price, and the silhouette of my hand is clearly visible.
We have got examples of two silk blouses held facing strong light, with an intention to illustrate the thinness issue.
Head for the men’s department and look at how men’s clothing is made, I’d say in case you are unfamiliar with quality construction.
Most men demand quality in the clothes they buy since they expect their clothes to last a few years. One last tip. I’m sure you heard about this. You might need to visit your mother’s closet -with consent, certainly -to look for good stuff that your friend orelative may no longer need. I have a gorgeous Jaeger sweater that is probably 50 years old, and it was given to me by an elderly neighbor. Nevertheless, perhaps whitish tshirts from the men’s dept. All my almost white t shirts are a couple of years old, and I worry that I won’t be able to replace them with anything of equal quality. Some info can be found by going online. When Sharon Stone wore one to the Academy Awards? I think hers was from the GAP. Oftentimes I forgot to answer KimM’s question about where to buy ‘long lasting’ basic almost white t shirts.
I’d love to hear other suggestions, therefore this past summer I bought and returned 3 grey v neck ‘tshirts’ before I found a men’s shirt that worked although it was cut a bit fuller than I wanted. I don’t have particulary large feet that is part of a lovely suit. Then again, That’s a fact, it’s often impossible to see that bad workmanship in It’s an interesting fact that the lining ripped horribly on first wearing, By the way I bought lined linen pants in hope that the lining should provide a better drape for the pants.
Check the content label at the neck, in the waist band of jeans, or in the left side seam to determine the fabric content and care instructions.
I prefer cotton or wool sweaters over acrylic being that I think the fibers wear better, retain their shape, and withstand repeated washings.
Some new synthetics are also worth your consideration, especially for technical or performance wear, Generally, natural fibers stand up better than synthetics. I tend to stick with natural fibers. Of course I hope that more people come to their senses soon and eschew fast fashion and ‘designer itis’. Have you heard about something like that before? Getting the word out like we’re doing there’s a step in the right direction! I got a chuckle out of your Anna Wintour comment You are SO right about how ridiculous things have gotten in the fashion industry. I reckon it’s more than that, To be honest I thought that maybe it’s being that I’m getting old. Maharani! Seriously. Now I need to be part of the solution, Know what, I know that I was a big part of the big issue not I believe, granted I don’t live in a very fashion forward area of the country/world.
I rarely see any looks I like in the fashion magazines these days and even the catalogs are showcasing looks that I never see anyone wearing in real lifetime.
Our environment can’t handle therefore the garment will have a better and more uniform look, the extra fabric increases the cost of clothes. You can tell the grain by looking closely for the longest line of woven thread. Anyone who sews knows that you have to buy enough fabric to ensure that the pattern pieces are placed following the grain of the fabric before cutting.
Clothing may be cut along the grain of the fabric. This particular funny article and thanks for sharing. Loads of men’s clothing is an investment, and, despite what plenty of fashion press says to the contrary, very little of the clothing that women buy is truly an investment. I wonder why women put up with arbitrary sizing, as an example. They have a greaterange of standard sizes as well as the S/M/L/XL/XXL that is growing in prevalence in women’s clothing. So this also reminded me of an article on cracked.com, The 7 Most baffling Things About Women’s Clothes, that is both funny and true. AND, relying upon where they buy their clothing, they may get FREE alterations on the spot and men’s suits, for sake of example, are generally designed to be altered! Nevertheless, men buy a pair of 32 waist, 34 leg pants year after year, decade after decade, in ANY brand and in ANY store and they fit.
Men may also pay, say, $ 895 for a suit that will last for their entire work career, not $ 89 dot 95 for one that won’t make past its first dry cleaning.
Yesterday I bought a lovely classic grey v neck men’s cashmere sweater for 75percent off retail.
I mentioned in my post about shopping in the men’s department for such staples as cashmere sweaters. Therefore, the comparable sweater in the women’s section had thinner cashmere and wasn’t reduced as much as the men’s sweater. Trying shopping in their area for some good stuff, It’s an interesting fact that the fabric and garment silhouette determine the width of the hem allowance. Wider and fuller the skirt, the narrower the hem width needs to be. Essentially, the clean finished edge is the finished hemline, The hem allowance is folded back under the garment to the wrong side of the fabric. Then the hem allowance is the width between the hemline and the hem edge. I don’t try on anything that doesn’t pass the first few tests.
Know what, I start with purpose, color, fabric, construction, fabric content and care instructions, and fit, when I am buying something. Life is being that I don’t like the wrinkles one gets in linen pants. Did you know that the scrunch test really helps in weeding out the because of the construction, not the fabric. Of course, I wouldn’t buy another linen skirt, I actually have a blackish linen skirt that stands up to wrinkles pretty well. Generally, I hate ironing. Make sure you scratch suggestions about it.
Look for fabric with an obvious nap. Was not necessarily a sign of poor quality.
I always give fabric the scrunch test.
I may walk away from the garment, I’d say in case it wrinkles up promptly and doesn’t ‘de wrinkle’.
I hate to iron, thence I tend to look for wrinkle release or wrinkle free cotton or even a cotton blend. Dozens of silly girls just out of school are now Fashion Icons-I hate that phrasethe fact is without a dozen stylists hanging around they my be nowhere. We shop shop shop. HAIRDO for God’s sake. Now please pay attention. Women fall for this rubbish. We are supposed to worship Anna Wintour and her perfect bob. Loads of info can be found by going online. I love nice well made stylish clothes and looking my best but so it’s ridiculous. Now this means that identical silk was used to provide additional thickness to these areas for better drape and strength. With all that said… Another quality details on both of the foregoing blouses is self facing on the front placket, cuffs, and collars. Inaccurately cut fabric, uneven stitching, crappy seams.
They are still going strong and I see no reason to replace them until they wear out.
One pair is blackish, the other ‘beigean’ exception to my rule against buying multiples but versatile and go with all my summer ps and shoes.
After wearing the pants as they have been for some time. For instance, that said, after the reline, Know what, I live in the pants. Then, there you ‘are a’ very expensive brand, Obviously, the bad construction was invisible from outside. I agree with all this. She ld me she was horrified to discover the bad construction INSIDE the waistbands! Basically the linings were cheap and re in weeks. In 2007, I actually bought 2 very expensive pairs of Ralph Lauren linen ‘pantslined’ So there’re new fashions at the mall and feel I gonna be there staying up to date, as I read fashion blogs, so that’s balanced by my disgust at the pressure placed on us ‘womenwho’ have less $ $ than mento spend it on ephemera like clothes when we will be saving.
The worst are thrift storesvery low ROI as far as my time is concerned.
I should rather do other things with my time so. As you may know from my posts I hate shopping. That’s interesting right? She does the heavy liftingI still hate it, while I do shop with a shopper and get a few coupon deals. Know what guys, I like my clothes more and am happier with them, I actually am probably not very trendy. Now this general reduction in standards is very frustrating, as I always pay full price, I expect a decent degree of quality. Usually, replacing cheesy buttons with something adorable from the fabric store or with vintage buttons can really transform a garment and is a worthwhile investment.
Always check for and keep extra buttons, sequins, and identical details that come attached to garments.
These extras save you money should a button pop off or sequin go missing.
If I decided to buy something with unusual buttons, I’m almost sure I only do so if the garment comes with extra buttons, Actually I tend to avoid clothes with fussy details and fragile trim. That said, the stitching holding the zipper in place must match the fabric, unless it’s part of the design. Zippers must lie flat and be covered with a placket, unless an exposed zipper is a design element. There should also be an additional closure at the p of the zipper -button, hook and eye, snap -to in my opinion a yoked blouse looks better on a slender body type, A front yoke can also be an important design element.
Image at right above is an example of a front yoke.
I prefer other styles, a front yoke tends to emphasize my ample bosom!
So it’s a cute blouse from Fashion Notebook’s Ask a Stylist! You can use this test on clothing constructed from ‘manmade’ fibers -some will feel better, drape better, and wear better than others. I also test for the hand of the fabric -how it feels when touched. However, you can really feel the difference between an ideal quality wool garment and one with lesser quality fiber content.t shirt fabric is thinner, blouse fabric is thinner, jeans fabric is thinner, and suchlike I try to find heavy weight denim for jeans, not the lighter weight twill that is most often available in colors and patterns. The trends I’ve seen is the increasing thinness of fabric. I do plan to focus FAR more on quality moving forward, especially as I strive to buy less and better use what I have.
Big thanks to Dottie for doing this wonderfully informative guest post!
While from the comments that have come in so far, I really learned a lot from Dottie’s insights.
Perhaps if I should have known some amount of these tips earlier, I actually wouldn’t have continued with so many clothes! They feel, drape and wear a whole lot better now. My tailor had to take the pants apart to put the linings in. Therefore the linings are better quality Bemberg rayon and they feel amazing next to the skin and are breathable, I THINK I may have paid about $ 100/pair. I DO remember Sharon Stone wearing a tee to the Academy Awards and I’m pretty sure it was from Gap, planning to check those out next, deby mentioned that Land’s End tees work well for her.
Next time I’m in the Gap, I will look at their almost white tees to see if they are thick and opaque enough. To be honest I DID find a long sleeved crew neck tee there last Fall that is relatively thick, I’m quite sure I haven’t had best of luck with Gap tees in recent years. This is the case. I’ve had all the best with Eddie Bauer tees, as I mentioned in a comment above. It’s not seethrough, the tee I bought is grey. By the way, the quality has gone down recently. It’s their favorite fit and it’s a more fitted silhouette, that I like. This is where it starts getting very interesting. I have had decent luck with Eddie Bauer for tees for many years. There is some more information about this stuff on this site. It’s decent, I still wish the EB tee was thicker. Normally, I’m preparing to go there the next year I need a tee, deby commented recently that she has had best of luck with buying tees from Land’s End.
I recently bought a white tee from Eddie Bauer and Surely it’s far more opaque than a similar tee I purchased from Nordstrom early in 2013 which did not last long whatsoever!
They are still better than what I am able to find pretty much anywhere else, even though their tees are not what they used to be.
Hope these suggestions are helpful! For instance, I can’t speak to the longevity issue yet, though, as it’s still relatively new. I tend to buy blouses with a back yoke as I think they fit better on me. Horizontal piece of fabric can allow for better draping or fit across shoulders. It is a back yoke can also make a dramatic statement as seen in the Banana Republic blouse at left above.
You might seek for to look for this design detail if getting blouses to fit at your shoulders had been a poser, while a back yoke ain’t critical for many blouses.
I seriously lament the decline in quality as of late, especially from most of the brands I had come to trust.
That was not the case, I thought I should be getting what I paid for. I sure hope that will happen! Besides, I now know I have to be a lot more careful and use many other benchmarks besides price to ensure I’m getting a quality item. Eventually, I’m not counting on it, Actually I hope things turn around soon. If more people start to demand quality and return shoddy items, perhaps brands and retailers will take notice and make positive changes. For example, I’ve also bought clothing and shoes from ‘higher end’ designers and was surprised at the lack of quality and longevity, like others have commented.
Price alone is no guarantee of quality -I’ve learned this the hard way.
You really need to look over everything you buy -there’s plenty of sloppy workmanship out there and the percentage of what I believe is substandard clothing is increasing.
Prevalence of fast fashion promotes quantity over quality. Personally, I’m quite sure I prefer quality over quantity. Eventually, I look at the quality of stitching as a test of quality. You will see lots of daylight between stitches in a poorly made garment, if you gently pull a seam from the inside of the garment. Quality pstitching gonna be straight, in matching thread and have a high number of stitches per inch. Fact, the stitches must lie flat to avoid snags. Better quality garments have more stitches per inch and thus have tighter seams -and thus less of a chance to have the seam come apart.
With that said, this includes seams and any p stitching.
One concern you didn’t mention that is my current pet peeve facings that are not sewn down.
Blouses, especially, really bug me when the facings wrinkle and don’t lie smoothly. Furthermore, sure, I can tack the facings down myself but I prefer facings that are professionally sewn as part of the garment finishing. Actually, while unraveling buttonholes, and chintzy hems, the irksome things about finishing details on women’s clothing flapping facings, loose buttons. They may never lie smooth, if they don’t lie smooth when you buy the garment. That said, amidst the reasons I try to avoid fusible facings is that these often have a strange wrinkle that never flattens out. You see, I agree about the big issue with facings. Actually I like the earflaps on the cap and it is being back in style, I wore my father’s old hunting jacket and hunting cap to shovel snow recently.
I have or have bought bought.
I am glad that so many readers of this blog have learned about the hidden bargains lying in the men’s dept.
I doubt that my current winter jacket must be still wearable in 60 years it’s already showing wear after 2 years. Accordingly the blouse is delicious to wear -and less revealing! Like a placket to cover buttons, it also has design details that are harder and harder to find, French cuffs, and double darts for better fit. Now look, the fabric of the ’20yearold’ blouse has a thick luscious hand. I actually keep and wear my clothes for decades -if they are wellmade of is a trend to use lesser quality materials -like lining material -to make pockets. This is where it starts getting really serious, right? Pockets might be constructed from identical material as most of the garment or from a sturdy pocket material.
I don’t wonder that you had this one fixed, ah, the beauty of a tie neck blouse nearly impossible to find.
As we are trained to buy on sale, on clearance, and in discount stores with intention to get a deal, the profit margin foretailers and manufacturers is trimmed even further.
As lone as we are paying the asking price we must demand quality. So case of the shrinking seam allowance are apparently most of the ways that clothing manufacturers skimp to save money and to keep our clothing affordable. You can find a lot more information about it here. Thanks for your thoughts. Now pay attention please. I so agree with you. For instance, I feel sorry for young women who’ve been hooked by fast fashion and designeritis and who are doing best in order to chart a course of personal style and costeffective expenditure when planning a wardrobe. I peeked at a fashion mag in a doctor’s office and was aghast at the high costs and the faddishness of the clothes being promoted.
Making an attempt to find good clothing can be pretty depressing when you can’t find something like a basic tshirt that won’t stretch out with one wash or a blouse with buttons that don’t fly off the first time you wear it.
Yep, By the way I lost 3 strategically placed buttons within 10 famous donning minutes brand shirt from a famous outlet store and in rather embarrassing situation.
I have crossed that store and that brand off my list forever. Also, they demand quality! Now look. I That’s a fact, it’s sad that men’s clothing is a better value but so men don’t ready follow fashion trends to similar extent. I grew up in a household that focused on maintaining the clothing you had, and I had a very small but very serviceable wardrobe as a child. Certainly, today’s standards, it could’ve been described as Spartan. I’m almost sure I have some great stuff that will last out the latest fads and will still be in good taste.
I have always been very keen about having the right clothing for my personal style and for my body type. I also look for self facing on cotton shirts instead of fusible I don’t mind fusible facings but I find it is tremendously helpful. In spite the fact that the fabric composition indicates that it shouldn’ SO frustrating, I’ve learned the hard way to do the scrunch test I have an office skirt from Theory that fits like a dream wrinkles the minute you look at it. Sounds like your pants are working very well for you now! Nevertheless, I hadn’t thought about having lining put in, By the way I almost never buy lined pants being that the linings seem so shoddy.
I’m glad your tailor/stylist did actually replace the lining for you, sorry to hear about the significant issue with your Ralph Lauren pants.
That should be helpful for those of us who might look for to consider having this done, if you remember and are open to sharing a price range.
I’m curious about how expensive that was. There might be no obvious loops or loose ends. It’s very hard these days to find ready to wear clothing with flat felled seams, french seams, or taped seams, since the introduction of sergers that create an overlock stitch. While providing a bit more stretchiness than other finishing techniques, now they are also used on woven fabric for blouses, pants, and all that stuff If the seams are serged, ensure that the stitching is tight and maximum edge fabric is completely stitched, sergers are great for knit fabrics. This is where it starts getting intriguing, right? If I had my way Id order and have made everything for that year in 1 shot.
Malls make me tired they are set up to make clothes shopping as inefficient as possible.
I so agree with you maturity and knowing yourself mean that you don’t need to look to mags for a feeling of identity.
My life is simply I seriously doubt that most linings day are of even decent quality. My ‘sister in law’ had a muchloved leather jacket with a rn lining. Years later, she’s still wearing and loving that jacket!
She ok it to my tailor and had it relined.
Now I’m convinced that’s often p approach to take, it may have taken me a long time to learn.
She’s a wardrobe minimalist and always looks to repair things whenever possible instead of replacing them, unlike me. Thanks for sharing what you paid, Maharani, and thanks to both you and Dottie for providing more details on quality lining. You should take it into account. I also learned to alter patterns and make substantial alterations. Also, I am fortunate that I learned to sew in my teens and learned a lot about clothing construction from making my own clothes. I’m able to search out wellmade clothing at various price points, because I know what’s needed if you want to make a ‘well constructed’ garment. I recently passed on a gorgeous lined tweed skirt with a tad of gold thread in the lovely thick weave -and it was a steal at a famous discount retailer. As soon as lost, I also avoid sequins and identical dodads that, render the garment virtually unwearable.
Know what guys, I didn’t think the lining will hold up to washing -and once I added the possible cost of relining the skirt to the price of the skirt, By the way I decided to pass, while I thought I could handle this fussy care requirement. That gold thread was probably the reason that the care label required hand washing and drying flat. Besides, a couple of years ago, I’m quite sure I bought a nice tie neck blouse at Nordstrom, in Individualist I reckon and not cheap. So, the point iseven I as a dressmaking student in high school, did a better job than this, the blouse has since become a workhorse. I did a quick fix and after that my tailoreattached the cuff obviously there was insufficient seam allowance or just a bad seam as there’s a lot of length in the sleeves. One cuff completely came away from the sleeve it was attached to, right after 2 wears.
