Otherwise they would be turning into ankle pants.</p> <p>Aside from the jeans all are work clothes and for work clothes. </p> <p>I expect perfect fit and will settle for no less. In my position people have a very specific ideas of the look I should portray so clothing and fit is crucial. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talking-alterations#post-1480063 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 14:50:18 +0000 Angie 1480063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PLP (Pant Length Police) reporting for duty. Great to hear that you're adjusting those hems, Frannie. It's sweet music to my ears.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talking-alterations#post-1480061 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 14:45:53 +0000 carter 1480061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you had success with lengthening pants? Years ago I had that done and never got the old crease out. I have a stack of slacks that I was planning to shorten to ankle length rather than lengthen because of my memories of the phantom crease. I'd love to be able to keep a couple of them full length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talking-alterations#post-1480043 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 13:55:55 +0000 Summer 1480043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, that Angie has a lot to answer for, Frannie!</p> <p>My goodness, you have a lot of alterations there, but you may as well get it all over in one fell swoop, and it's all in the cause of looking good.<br />Hope it works out well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talking-alterations#post-1480039 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 13:52:54 +0000 Tanya 1480039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That are a lot of alterations, hope they all turn out well!&nbsp; I also three different garments I need to take to a tailor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talking-alterations#post-1480037 Sat, 25 Apr 2015 13:51:26 +0000 frannieb 1480037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thought I would post as I'm on my way to the tailor with six pieces to be altered. Alterations to be done :</p> <p>1. Lengthen a pair of pants - have the hem to do ( all Angie's fault:) )<br /> 2. Make a pair of flares straight because no hem to lengthen ( Angie's fault again)<br /> I have become obsessed with PPL</p> <p>3. shorten a tunic into a top<br /> 4. Add a bac vent to a jacket to have it lay correctly<br /> 5. Hem and take in waist on jeans<br /> 6. Let out side seam at hip on jeans and take in waist</p> <p>Normally I don't have this many alterations at one time but I was tired of driving over an hour round trip so 2 hours for any tailored piece to my old tailor. </p>
