I would love to hear about the whole process, actually. For example it sounds like a lot of (worthwhile) work. But in my fantasy world, a great tailor would have a lot of this figured out already (great fabrics, possible palettes, etc). Also, were the clothes made and fabrics purchased locally or online? I'm brimming with questions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/excited-about-my-custom-made-wardrobe#post-1572610 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 15:07:36 +0000 catgirl 1572610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, wow!&nbsp; I can't wait to see this.&nbsp; A friend had this done by some traveling tailor that comes to town.&nbsp; She got a skirt, pants, jacket, and two dress shirts, I believe, in some neutral gabardine.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/excited-about-my-custom-made-wardrobe#post-1572577 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 13:33:08 +0000 Janet 1572577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice to see your post! I love the image and the color scheme, and am excited to see the pieces. It sounds like such a great experience! </p> <p>My husband had a bunch of shirts custom-made back when he was working in the corporate world, with mixed success. Now that he's mostly working on a ranch, suffice to say his wardrobe needs have changed a lot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/excited-about-my-custom-made-wardrobe#post-1572575 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 13:25:22 +0000 Diana 1572575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sound amazing!

Well finally, after months of planning, research etc, my pieces are coming in and I should get the rest of them this weekend. I am loving the pieces I already have - the fabrics feel lovely and they have been made to exactly fit ME - always an issue being tall and v curvy!</p> <p>It took me some time to find a good quality base&nbsp; fabric and I did some tests, with washing etc. My fabric criteria was black and home washable but smart. It took longer to find some coordinating colours so my wardrobe was not all black. I eventually found a lovely gunmetal blue charcoal, a 'royal' blue, a taupe and a red/pink. They blend so beautifully that I literally could pack a bag with my eyes closed and things would work!</p> <p>I will post some pictures tomorrow when most of the pieces are here but my inspiration/theme was elegant corporate modern classic (a bit Clair Underwood, a bit Christine LaGarde) and colours 'starry starry nights'. That has lent itself to clear bright colours around the blue palette - ranging from black to light, with shades of blue and the pink of a rising sun. </p>
