I'm going to start an alterations thread as I see very few information in this forum for anything other than shirts.
I am very familiar with alterations on shirts, usually i get the shoulders to fit and I'll have my tailor take in sides/arms and dart the back for a slim look.
On heavier fabrics, I am not so sure this can be done. My tailor altered this sweater that I gave her to take in the sides, it came back warped. Does anyone have more knowledge on alterations for sweaters and knits? Can you dart a sweater?
Also, what kind of alterations can be done on heavy fabrics like peacoats. I plan on buying the MK2 Jacket from wings and horns this season. I tried it on and there is about 1.5 inches of extra fabric i want to get rid of from each side, can this be done easily?
