I went for my first fitting earlier tonight....
I chose what I understood to be charcoal gray, but it looks like black now that it's been made into a suit (compared to the small little piece of sample cloth)

Here's some badly taken pictures, edited to show more.

The sleeves are too long in the 2nd pic, but seems to have been corrected in the last pic. Your shirt is too big for u btw, or was it the tailor's shirt?
I would ask for smaller armholes, or higher (seems to be the more often used term).
For some reason the back looks really bulky.. hmm.gif

Yes, the last picture is after we discussed what I want for the suit.
The shirt is mine, made by the tailor and indeed too big. I've already asked him to make it smaller.
I noticed the weirdness of the back as well, hopefully the alteration will make it looks better.

I think the tailor made everything bigger as a safety, rather than smaller and unable to correct them later.

Somehow it looks weird...
Maybe its the design.

And I just don't think higher armholes would suit his built.

Can you pin down the weirdness so that I might have them corrected?

Actually, at the last pictures the tailor had thinned down the right shoulder pad. The left is still there at full force.

Talking about ties, what sort of tie goes well for an almost black suit?
What colour, pattern?

I've gotten my suit from the tailor.

Everything seems to be fine (as far as I can tell) except that the bottom half of the jacket seems to be "floating".
It gives me a bigger belly that what I already have sad.gif
I think this is due to me asking the for a smaller waist, which is what the tailor not used to do.

I actually noticed something wrong on my 2nd fitting, but thought that it was due to the adjustments and pins.
Mentioned it to the tailor too, but he said not to worry, it'll be alright once its done.
I guess not.....

Anyway, I asked him to slim down the side of the jacket.
Faced a lot of opposition, since its already a finished suit. Lots of work needed to be done to take apart the jacket.
Hope it works.

No picture taken, cause I thought I'll be taking it home.
This is the previous picture with highlighted problem area.

No idea what you're referring to with floating. Might be skirt flare.

Sorry, not familiar with the terms.

I meant that I failed to communicate out my points because of my lack of words to use.

Rather than a skirt's flare, I think mine looks more like this;
