Talk about getting clothes altered or repaired

Even when I buy clothes that suit my fancy, I sometimes have to have them altered. I recently bought a new jacket, and the sleeves were a bit too long. I had to have the length adjusted at a tailor's. I've had clothes altered most often with pants. I've shortened the inseam, and altered the cuffs. I've also extended the waistline when I put on some weight. one time, the pant legs were too wide, so I got them fixed to be narrower. Sometimes, I need to clothes mended when I have a run in the fabric, or when there is a tear. I can attach a button myself if it falls off. However, if I lose the button, I have to visit a tailor to get a similar button. Altering and mending clothes offers many benefits, since you can dress in style, and wear clothes longer.

Did you open the gift I got you for birthday? I hope you like it.

I like it a lot. Plus I needed a light sweater.

Is it right size? You can have it altered for free if you need to.

It fits like a glove. I keep it at my office and wear it every day.
