Series: How To Shop Your Wardrobe

2.  Team Up With Your Tailor

One of the most often-quoted things “stylish women always do” is get their clothing tailored. There are SO many benefits of properly-fitting clothes from an image perspective alone. (Especially true if you work in a corporate environment, or any industry where you need to make a strong positive impression.)

When it comes to ‘shopping your wardrobe’ however, the main benefit of teaming up with a tailor is that you’ll convert all of your wardrobe non-starters into compelling contenders.

So perhaps your weight has fluctuated? Or the waist of that otherwise stunning dress is a little big, or the sleeves on that coat are a fraction too long? Answer: tailoring.

For much less than the cost of a replacement, you’ll end up with a refreshed item that fits you to perfection.

Most importantly, a better fit and a renewed interest will force the garment out of the “dead-zone” and onto your body which is right where us resourceful-fashion-lovers want it.

    My go to is to never throw out dresses- as they can be accessorised and updated with season essentials

    Thanks – I’m trying really hard to shop my wardrobe, by dragging the pre – baby stuff out again, rather than buying new stuff.

      I am also trying! The problem for me is, I cannot see everything I own, so I keep reaching for the same items when I’m rushing (always). Argh!
