I'm pretty good about getting things dry cleaned and tailored. Much faster at these than returns for some reason. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/next-organizational-challenge-whats-waiting-to-be-tailored#post-235174 Wed, 20 Oct 2010 01:17:06 +0000 MNsara 235174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My bigger pile is the things I need to do myself - move buttons, little waistband darts, etc. There are at least 6-8 things - some from *last* winter!</p> <p>But I have my BR Martin skinnies from last spring (!) that I need to have the waist altered. I could really use them too. . .a lot of outfits are waiting for them!</p> <p>(can you tell I am a huge procrastinator?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/next-organizational-challenge-whats-waiting-to-be-tailored#post-235166 Wed, 20 Oct 2010 00:59:07 +0000 yublocka 235166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't participated in the others, but I do need to chime in here. Things I need tailored:</p> <p>- Buttons resewn on Boden blouse (grrr to Boden! I can do this myself)<br /> - BR Martins lengthened (want to take to alterations place tomorrow after I wash today)<br /> - Black winter wool skirt needs hemming as hem has come down (have not yet decided whether to do this myself or take to tailor as I have procrastinating on it for nearly 6 months!)</p> <p>I'm sure there are other things I can find too if I go looking. That's just off the top of my head!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/next-organizational-challenge-whats-waiting-to-be-tailored#post-234454 Tue, 19 Oct 2010 00:06:59 +0000 Tanya 234454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I have a huge pile, mostly a bunch of bottoms to be hemmed: 3 pairs of jeans, one pair of pants and a pair of tweed shorts. This needs to go tot he tailor. Plus there are a couple of jackets/tops they lost buttons and I need to re-sew them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/next-organizational-challenge-whats-waiting-to-be-tailored#post-234446 Mon, 18 Oct 2010 23:46:02 +0000 Marigold 234446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After reading and learning about PPL, all my jeans (as I don't have other pants right now) need to be hemmed SIGH. I'm wearing skinnies and leggings now, avoiding that issue, but I really need to get to the tailor's. Soon. Thanks for asking LOL ;PP </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/next-organizational-challenge-whats-waiting-to-be-tailored#post-234437 Mon, 18 Oct 2010 23:33:19 +0000 Anonymous 234437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to have a tailoring pile. Out of boredom, I just hacked into it and fixed the stuff myself. It was minor things: Lowering the hem on a skirt, moving buttons on a trench and fixing the sleeves on a blouse. All done yesterday. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/next-organizational-challenge-whats-waiting-to-be-tailored#post-234436 Mon, 18 Oct 2010 23:29:05 +0000 Megan 234436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This one I'm great with- I have nothing to be taken to the tailor (and I take LOADS). </p> <p>Most recent trip was 2 pairs of pants that needed hemming and the waists taken in and a jacket that I had the shoulder pads taken out of. It certainly isn't a cheap exercise but my tailor is a genius- that man can take inches out of the shoulders of stretchy wool tunics! </p> <p>I really do have no excuse either- the tailor is 3 mins walk from my house! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/next-organizational-challenge-whats-waiting-to-be-tailored#post-234404 Mon, 18 Oct 2010 22:34:02 +0000 Queen Mum 234404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yea, this pile is bigger than my return pile.<br /> I need to hem a pair of jeans , remove the sleeves from a dress and possibly make a tunic into a v-neck... I keep going back and forth on that one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/next-organizational-challenge-whats-waiting-to-be-tailored#post-234388 Mon, 18 Oct 2010 22:16:55 +0000 Mo 234388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>White jeans that I will get hemmed during my Tahoe trip next month. And I'm toying with the idea of tailoring some satiny black dress pants into more of a cigarette pant style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/next-organizational-challenge-whats-waiting-to-be-tailored#post-234386 Mon, 18 Oct 2010 22:14:39 +0000 Mellllls 234386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pants for my suit NEED to be taken in at the waist. I tried holding them up with a belt today but was not successful. Eek!</p> <p>Do you take everything that doesn't fit to the tailor? Or do you think I should just let this suit go? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/next-organizational-challenge-whats-waiting-to-be-tailored#post-234383 Mon, 18 Oct 2010 22:11:07 +0000 Anonymous 234383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh. My pile has 3 pairs of jeans that need to be shortened and one of those also needs the waist nipped in. 2 pairs of thick knit pants that I want made into skinnies. And one ponte dress that I want shortened to tunic length.. This pile has been sitting there for almost 3 weeks now...ever since I did my last closet edit. I also have a pile set for the consignment store (and I suspect that will be the next organizational challenge!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/next-organizational-challenge-whats-waiting-to-be-tailored#post-234379 Mon, 18 Oct 2010 21:58:39 +0000 April 234379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High five, Louise -- I'm right there with you. </p> <p>The gray Halogen jacket from NAS was originally purchased in a petite, which YLF felt looked a bit skimpy, and then in a non-petite, which YLF felt looked a bit big. (Both were correct, incidentally, and I'm not complaining -- just noting that this jacket has been a whole lot of fuss!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/next-organizational-challenge-whats-waiting-to-be-tailored#post-234372 Mon, 18 Oct 2010 21:41:06 +0000 Louise 234372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 pair of cropped jeans to be shortened to knee length<br /> 1 pair of un ppl trousers to be shortened to city shorts<br /> 1 dress to have a hole fixed<br /> 1 shirt to be nipped in slightly at the back and embarrassingly this pile has been on the banister since before the summer hols- end of July!!! Mum and I intended to do them during the holidays, you'd think in 6 weeks we'd have found the time!!!! x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/next-organizational-challenge-whats-waiting-to-be-tailored#post-234368 Mon, 18 Oct 2010 21:37:54 +0000 celia 234368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about the jackets that I usually wear ut haven't hemmed the sleeves....2<br /> 1 pair of jeans (that I also wear)<br /> And I'm sure you will tell me on this forum that some other items I wear need alteration </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/next-organizational-challenge-whats-waiting-to-be-tailored#post-234366 Mon, 18 Oct 2010 21:35:29 +0000 April 234366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now that you've made all your returns -- you HAVE made all your returns, right? -- the next biggie is to take at least some of your waiting-to-be-tailored items to the tailor.</p> <p>I'm much worse about this than I am about returning things, particularly since it incurs an expense instead of removing one. Right now, I have two jackets and a blouse waiting to be taken in -- and one of the jackets is from NAS! Sheesh. That was in July.</p> <p>Over to you... </p>
