I know the suit doesn't fit. At all. This will be fixed. This thread will be a sort of a catalogue of the tailoring of the suit. More directly:
Freely share your ideas/thoughts on how an unstructured suit should fit.
The original post:
This is my first unconstructed suit, and I'm at a bit of a loss as to how I want it to fit.
Currently, it's a bit big, and a little long. This I realize. But my tailor can work crazy voodoo with a needle, and truth be told, this one doesn't have to fit perfectly, as it'll be worn casually, and when I'm feeling fat.
Here's what I'd like to have done:
Take in the shoulders
Slight waist suppression
Raise the bottom patch pockets 1.5"
Raise the top patch pocket 1" - not 100% sure about this one.
Shorten the jacket 1.5"
Shorten the sleeves
As for the pants - I'll either have suspender buttons put in for the ultimate comfort, or have the tailor make side tabs with the extra material. Not sure yet.
Thoughts?
