On your frame
- Broad / muscular — Take the body a half-inch straighter and keep the collar low.
- Tall and lean — Lengthen the tunic past the hip so the proportion does not read cropped.
- Compact — Exactly as drawn — hip-length body, high rise, no break over the shoe.
- Fuller figure — Straight hem, no waist seam, and keep the trouser straight rather than tapered.
What to do next
01 — The introduction
If this is the shape you want, tell me the occasion and date and I will point you at the right house for it.
Tell me the occasion, the date and your budget bracket. Within 24 hours you get back: two or three houses I would actually approach and why those and not others, the alterations to insist on for your build, a realistic timeline for your date, and a short written brief you can hand to the tailor at the first fitting.
- No fee, no commission, nothing sold here.
- If nobody I trust fits your date or budget, I say so.
- Read by me, answered by me.
