James came to us with items that had a lot of potential, but weren’t quite there yet. This outfit in particular deserved a before and after to show how even simple tailoring can make such a difference. In the before, his shorts were too long but were the perfect color, and his button-up was baggy. However, the pattern begged to be his new favorite short sleeve summer shirt (*oy! Say that five times fast!).
So we hemmed the shorts, and for the shirt we tailored the waist, removed the sleeves, and shortened the hem.
Voila!
The best part was that James wanted to sport his new look right away, so he left our tailoring shop wearing his new combo.
Also, can we just say that we LOVE the color of these short? Because we do.
Do you have an item that you just love the fabric on but it just isn’t working as is? Give us a call to schedule an appointment at (202)567-7668 or email us at info@gingerrootdesign.com and we can help brainstorm!
