6. Tailor-Avoidance Syndrome

You find the perfect dress, and everything seems to fit just right… except that it seems a bit too long on you, or you don’t like that the sleeves are so flared. You figure that since the rest is so perfect, no one’s going to notice, or you don’t want to spend more money on it. The real reason you don’t want to get it fixed, though, is pure laziness.

Girl, get that outfit altered! Fit is one of the most essential elements of fashion, so there are no excuses. You’ll want to ask around for a good tailor, so you’ll have someone handy to make minor fixes like this. You could also make use of free alterations that certain stores offer. In general, even the cheapest piece of clothing looks good when it fits right, compared to an expensive one that doesn’t.
