hey guys,

two questions. i bought a short from vivienne westwood and its a little snug. how much does going up from a size I to a II correspond to. are the sizes up only a half size, or a full shirt size each time.

also, as a general rule can viv westwood suits be let out around the waist and shoulders.

thanks in advance

In my experience, the difference between sizes wouldn't be that drastic. So, probably you would need a II. I'm usually a 15.34 or Euro 40 and in Vivienne I'm usually a III. So, I'd guess a II would be between a 15-15.5 or 38/39.

As for suits... they can be altered. Nevertheless, Westwood is all about a certain type of cut, so if you alter it too much, you might lost that.
