flourishing Dressing - 7 Tips For Wearing Off-the-Rack

Image consultants work with all body shapes and sizes, and what I know to be true is off-the-rack seldom works without alterations. Sometimes the cut isn't quite right for a body type, but often garments, costly or not, have flaws that can be repaired by a good tailor. You need to be a discriminating buyer.

Watch for these off-the-rack problems so you can fix what is fixable and pass on garments that do not meet 'dressing for success' standards.

Uneven or too-long sleeves: tradition dictates the sleeve ends at the bend in the wrist but if you have about 1/2" longer, you're well within proper limits. For men, a long sleeve dress shirt should show 1/2" below the jacket sleeve
Professional skirt lengths should be right below your knee at the curve. If you want shorter, keep it at mid-knee and not above.
Women's pants lengths should be 1/2" to 1" off the ground from the bottom of the heel with a nice break in the front
Billowing sleeves add 10 pounds, so have the sleeves narrowed for a quick fix
Bulky 'armseye' area makes the fabric bunch up under your armpits and nearby your bust and adds width where we don't want it. These problems can be repaired but you need an devotee tailor to get it right and this heal is very expensive
When buying a jacket fit your largest area first, and then have the rest of the jacket altered. This can be precious so be sure the jacket is worth the investment. Fewer well fitting jackets are preferable to many poorly fitting jackets
If the back of the jacket is too long, or if there's a bubble back there then you'll need to raise the shoulders. This is a major alternation that may not be worth it for you

Here are some other tricks for making that off-the-rack look like a institution fit.

1. Unless you want to add 10 lbs,your clothes should skim your body rather than be tight or too big

2. Check your rear view to avoid saggy, baggy or too snug skirts and pants

3. Have your clothes adjusted in length, especially if you are vertically challenged. Nothing should say "please-don't-buy-that", faster then the wrong proportions on your frame.
