She knew how to alter patterns before cutting the fabric and making the clothing so it would fit properly. She received her training in Chicago, and there was nothing she couldn't do. She made all of my clothing except jeans. She even made my wedding gown. I don't know how many people have those skills now. Probably older people. My mom was born in 1918, when sewing was a lot more of a necessary skill than it is now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interesting-articles-about-customtailored-clothing#post-1695772 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 17:06:57 +0000 Kari 1695772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know, isn't his blog gorgeous? &nbsp;(For those of you who want to see more of Taub's work:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://davidetaub.blogspot.com/">http://davidetaub.blogspot.com/</a>)</p> <p>The blue wool jacket near the top is amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interesting-articles-about-customtailored-clothing#post-1695636 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 12:39:02 +0000 Thistle 1695636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Makes me wonder if we're losing the ability to make custom pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interesting-articles-about-customtailored-clothing#post-1695572 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 10:58:13 +0000 Anonymous 1695572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I read both articles from beginning to end, but I have to say I was fascinated by the Davide Taub one. He sounds such an cloth artist. I'm checking out his blog too. Thanks Kari. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interesting-articles-about-customtailored-clothing#post-1695564 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 10:28:26 +0000 Style Fan 1695564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting articles.&nbsp; Thanks for posting Kari. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interesting-articles-about-customtailored-clothing#post-1695528 Sat, 16 Jul 2016 06:39:56 +0000 Kari 1695528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found both of these articles really interesting, and thought some of you might like to read them - especially if you have considered getting pieces custom-made (or like me, are simply curious.)</p> <p>First of all, the adventures of working with overseas tailors - and with a very cooperative Savile Row cutter who allowed one of his suits to be used - to attempt to reproduce a superb suit, and finding that it was very difficult to do so. &nbsp;This reminded me of Angie's adventures with successful and unsuccessful custom-tailored pieces many years ago.<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.newyorker.com/business/currency/the-suit-that-couldnt-be-copied?mbid=social_facebook">http://www.newyorker.com/busin.....l_facebook</a></p> <p>Second, the experience of getting an impeccably tailored corset perfectly fitted to your skeleton at San Francisco's Dark Garden. &nbsp;Corsets have never appealed to me personally - I don't do costuming/cosplay and they don't fit with my personal style - but boy, do I love to look. &nbsp;This is an incredible piece.<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://offbeatbride.com/dark-garden-corset/">http://offbeatbride.com/dark-garden-corset/</a> </p>
