    Spring, Day-time wedding

    oh man. don't call yourself petite. you're compact, or something manly sounding. you won't get any love for the short collared shirt here no matter how you wear it, but with a collar that small you need a very slim tie with a small knot.

    Should I go for different shoulder measurements (MTM)??

    no, I mean if you tell them that your shoulders are two different lengths in the comments in addition to making one shoulder a little longer in the measurement field, maybe they can use that measurement to move the placement of the collar in relation to the overall yoke, so it's a little off...

    Should I go for different shoulder measurements (MTM)??

    mt has a shoulder measurement, beyond the yoke measurement, taken from the collar to the shoulder seam. I think this is usually used to account for shoulder slope, but if you explain your situation in the comment field, I'm sure they can make one half of the yoke slightly longer. I would...

    so, you're saying I mismeasured my shoulders?

    Modern Tailor Custom Suits

    Shoulders cannot be smoothed. Why would you order a suit expecting lumpy shoulders, anyway? Perhaps they did give you exactly what you ordered. I dont think you can say your suit was anything approaching a success though. If MT has a return policy like indochino, definitely get rid of it...
