Actually waste of time and money. The charges is too high that you could probably buy another one from off season stores. The most biggest risk is the whole suit would probably be disassembled and rebuilt back again and the collar, shoulder, chest area are the hardest to alter. You might end up with a dud later. Experienced used suit owners would tell you taking in 4 inches is too much than taking in 1 - 1.5 inch everywhere.

Thanks for the advice...
Couldn't stop myself from not buying it since it was only USD 20... Guess I'm gonna pass it to my dad or uncle that could for it....
