Anyone can recommend place to tailor a suit? What is the price range like to make a suit? How long does it takes?

I know nothing about suit. Started working now so I need one.

So the fitting session happened last weekend.

Thanks to the people who came.

Seeing these pics reminds me of the early days of JT LOL......

Will post more pics soon....not of all who came obviously for privacy reasons.

If they can make my plus size friend look good and has a clean back....i am confident.

Well, barchetta means little boat. A barchetta pocket is one that is curved like a boat. More difficult to sew.

Barchetta pockets are, of course, a feature associated with Italian suits, in particular Southern Italian ones. Above is a jacket I made in that style featuring no shoulder pads, spalla camicia shoulders, waterfall sleeves and the curved breast pocket. Cloth is Holland & Sherry Crispaire. Fully canvassed, of course. It was made for a member of the senior management of Google Malaysia.

Hi guys,

Can anyone recommend me a nice store to do alteration on dress. It's a simple cut to make the dress shorter. Thanks
