Recently I did a closet analysis (a.k.a. closet clean out) for a new client. I was amazed at how many pieces in her wardrobe did not fit her well despite how much she spent on her clothing. I had to teach her that just because items on the rack are described as "ready to wear" they are not always ready to wear. So here are 5 common ready to wear assumptions that can be easily altered:
- Pants are meant to be that long.
- Pants are meant to be that short.
- Shoulders on a jacket should hang off of your natural shoulders.
- A huge gap in the back is natural.
- Buttons are supposed to pull across the breast.
Now watch the video to learn your options for fixing these issues and the possible costs. I promise you, it makes fashion cents.
