so, everything finally got to me here at school from the various alterations shops, and I got to play dressup for an hour or so. Apologize in advance for the bad pics, had to borrow my roomie's camera with no flash. Not good in a hotel room with no light anyway.
Without further ado, the results.
Here's my first shirt from Jantzen. So far, I'm thinking of making the following changes: + roughly 1" from the torso area. + add 1/2" to each cuff. they seem a little small, but maybe I've never had cuffs that fit properly, dunno. + add 1/4" to the collar to account for shrinkage. + shorten the sleeve some. (how much?) close-up of a cuff showing tightness
Secondly, I got my first suit. Had gift certificates to Dillards, so had to go there, but got a Turnbury charcoal pinstripe. Went in looking for a solid, but the stripe looked so good on me, got that instead.
Also got tuxedo back. This is what I'm wearing to my wedding in June. The shirt is obviously a fill-in. The vest is up in the air, and the tie came with the vest. Although if we use this vest, we have another tie in mind. Based on the advice I got here, I decided to spend more than I originally intended, and got a really nice DJ with a peak lapel. I'm really happy with it.
Last but not least, a uniform for work in a nice, dark green polyester
The End
