tailor and alterations.

[centsofstyle]

Hey Guys,

I was wondering if you could help me with my predicament. I went to the tailor to get my shirts tapered a bit. I asked him to taper them so they would not look as baggy. He asked me to stand up straight. He pinned the shirt down the sides and asked me if I was comfortable. Then I took the shirt off and gave it to him.

I got my shirt back and now it fits perfectly when I am standing up; however, due to my belly I am unable to sit down comfortably. The shirts buttons are straining and the placket is mostly open and almost exposing my belly. It fits really tight and is applies a lot of pressure to my stomach. My impression when I took the shirt to the tailor was that he would account for the amount needed to sit down comfortably. Was this presumption wrong? Should I have thought about this or is it my tailors responsibility?

I know that when someone makes a shirt he takes into account the amount of room needed for when sitting down. I thought that this would be the same scenario. Am I mistaken?

Thanks!

Thats why in some shirts you see a flare in you lay them flat, Im guessing it should be an incentive to get rid of the belly

These kinds of mistakes happen all the time, just chalk it up to experience and keep it in mind next time you get something altered. A good tailor may have kept it in mind and reminded you of it as he was pinning your shirt, but I wouldn't call it his responsibility to do so.
