Angie, I was wondering if you could give out some advice on finding a great tailor. My dry cleaner usually does alterations, but my favorite seamstress has shut down her shop!

I am a short, pear-shaped person and often need things altered: pant lengths (always to the "perfect" length, hehe), waist lines, and shoulders on coats, and finding a great tailor has proven difficult so far.

What advice can you offer us on how to find a great tailor? (I live in Seattle, if you know of one or a few to try out, that'd be great also!)

Thanks -- Sara
