Am considering altering some work uniform items atm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/since-offtherack-work-pants-never-fit-a-cheap-alteration-story#post-822298 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 15:07:12 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 822298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had lots of pants, dresses, skirts, even shorts taken in at the waist. I usually go up one size to fit my hips and legs so it's not a drastic alteration. But clothing looks great when it's tailored exactly to fit you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/since-offtherack-work-pants-never-fit-a-cheap-alteration-story#post-822211 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 13:55:17 +0000 Lauren 822211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Work pants are something that NEVER fit my really hippy frame. They are either too snug to be office appropriate or are gaping in the waist and leave unsightly bunching. So, I recently decided to take matters into my own hands and try drastically altering a pair of pants down to my frame. I bought a $34 pair of wide-legged pants from ASOS 3 sizes too big, and am having them tailored down to fit me perfectly Full story/info here: <a href="http://bit.ly/WMpn3b" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/WMpn3b</a></p> <p>Has anyone else ever done this? I'm thinking of doing this with work dresses too... Would love to hear! </p>
