Can't you just have them let out?Originally Posted by TRINI
Seems sad to waste $800 pants like that
Unless you can, of course.
There is not enough seam allowance to do that. Anyway, I have to imagine the whole trouser is shrunken. Merely letting out the waist won't fix that.
I just had a basted fitting of a suit done up in Woodhouse cloth. I shall call promptly to have 2-3cm added to the waist.Originally Posted by patrickBOOTH
Err, don't do that.

Madame Paulette shrunk two pairs of my Ambrosi/Woodhouse pants....Originally Posted by mafoofan
aren't they supposed to be couture specialist?
curious as to whether they are going to make you somewhat whole (considering what they charge)..

That was a joke. The adding 2-3cm part.

We'll see. They already tried re-blocking the pants, but that didn't work. I'm not sure what next steps are.

I for one would find the mafoofan-minimalist philosophy more interesting if the actual aesthetic itself were minimalist. It just seems incoherent, to have all identical shoes, pants, and shirts, but then have 3 buttons on your jackets, cuffs on your pants, broguing on your shoes, etc.

If it were interesing, it would fail.
Anyway, minimalism is forever subject to the interpretation of starting principles.

You won't trust a cleaner w/ your shirts, why did you trust them w/ your pants?Originally Posted by romafan
Shirts can be laundered. Trousers and jackets can't.
And what the he11 happened to TITC!?Originally Posted by romafan
Not enough people cared about my wife's Genovese so I lost the spirit.

Well, it's already interesting in the sense that (1) this thread will be at least 30 pages long, (2) your clothing probably stands out from the crowd, most of the time, and (3) you have chosen to pursue a particularly ideosyncratic method of acquiring clothes. If you want to dress boring, that's fine, but I think you left that possibility behind when you descended into the strange, seedy world of online fashion forums.
I don't know, though, maybe I just think longwings are ugly.
