Tall Fashionista's Tip of the Month—Invest in a Tailor, Part 3
Things To Remember
Spending a little more on a fabulous find is often worth it. Don’t be afraid to spend the extra few dollars on alterations, especially if it's a piece that will get a lot of usage.
Also, when getting jeans altered, remember to let your tailor know that you would like to retain the original hem.
Fun & Easy Alterations
Bottoms
If you have an old pair of high water pants or jeans, turn them into the on-trend Bermuda short. A local tailor can easily do this for about $20, which is a great deal when compared to the $150 it would cost for a new pair of designer shorts.
Tops
If you have an old sweater, top or T-shirt- attach a piece of luxurious fabric, ruffles, or an embellishment . This will cost approximately $10, plus the cost of materials, which is nothing when compared to a $100 top from a boutique.
