@gdl203 When doing a Formosa MTO (not GMTO), when you get measured, do they account for sloped shoulders/forward shoulders, etc?
No, MTO is purely based on standard RTW patterns. We would try on the standard sizes and then pick the best fit, then we can MTM by adjusting some measurements of the standard pattern (-2cm shoulders, +3cm length, etc...) but lower shoulders, pitch and other specific issues cannot be properly addressed without a custom pattern.

Hey now, my decorators are 4, 6, and 9! They do messy work, but they are cute.
Mine are 15, 7, 5, and 3... Essentially, I hired a more baller, larger, crew. They specialize in rock star in a hotel room.

Good thing the S&C MTOs should be right on its heels.

It's been in the 50's here (about 30 degrees higher than it should be), so I've pretty much forgotten about mine. I'm looking forward to receiving it when it does arrive on my doorstep, though.

Unfortunately, it sounds like we may not receive those for a bit... I will keep you guys updated but the cardigans may be a bit longer than expected.

Geller interview was great. Touched on some topics previously unmentioned in other Styleforum interviews.
