1. I have some linen Banana Republic long-sleeve shirts that I like but which I now find too roomy in the chest and waist. Can the chest and waist be taken in by a tailor for a tighter fit? About how much might this cost? If it's not worth it, I can just take these shirts in to my local thrift store for credit.
2. I bought a Prada shirt from this thrift store but the sleeves were an inch or two too long. My tailor altered them and the sleeves came out very puffy around the wrist. She told me this is because the sleeves were pleated. Is this true? I often find very nice shirts in thrift stores where the sleeves are an inch or two too long, and it would be great if I could just have the sleeves altered, but my experience with my tailor has put me off doing this. If shortening sleeves can be done, about how much would that cost?
