Tips for Ladies when you come to your fitting…
In order to ensure that you get the best possible fit there are a few things you need to remember before you come in for your fitting.
All garments, but especially bridal wear, prom dresses and evening gowns rely on a good foundation and in this case your underwear is an essential part of the ultimate look. So make sure you remember to bring with you to the fitting the underwear you will be wearing on the day.
Shoes, shoes, shoes…also an essential items for your fitting, without the correct pair (or ones with a very similar heel and sole height) then the correct hem length cannot be guaranteed. It’s also worth remembering that the choice of heel height effects the visual line of your leg and especially your calf muscle.
Tips for Gentlemen when you come to your fitting…
Of course a gentleman’s underwear is not an essential foundation garment for a suit to fit well, however it is equally important that the following guidelines are taken into consideration.
Ensure that you are wearing a suitable shirt when having a jacket fitted; it’s no good if you turn up in a jumper or sweatshirt and then expect your jacket to fit correctly. Also try to make sure that the shirt sleeve length is right for you, only a small amount should protrude from your jacket sleeve, just enough to show off your diamond cuff-links…shirt sleeves can be adjusted to ensure that ultimate look of course!
The shoes should determine trouser length; ideally the trouser front should just break upon the apron of the shoe. Although the width of the trouser leg (wide, straight or boot-cut) and personal preference will always be taken into to account.
