What do shirt alteration services include?
askers can provide anything you may need a shirt alteration service, from altering your shirt's collar down to its hem. You may be having a fashion photo shoot or preparing for an upcoming special event. Maybe someone delivered it as a gift but the shirt doesn't fit you properly, or you just want to readjust your clothes for everyday wear? Whatever the reason is, Taskers near you can give the alteration service depending on your requirements. Here are some of the services they can do for you:
Altering the sides
If your shirt is too big or loose, your Tasker can alter it for you by taking its sides in to fit your torso flawlessly. The exact shape of your shirt can either make or break your silhouette, so you also want to keep an eye on how it looks on your chest and stomach area. You can let your Tasker know how tight you want your shirt to be, or let them do their magic! Just remember that tighter shirts can restrict certain movements and make you feel more snug than usual as well.
Altering the sleeves
One of the most common ways to alter your shirt's sleeves is to make them narrower. For long sleeves, a good fit shouldn't be too tight on your wrists, but should also not be too loose to the point of being droopy or baggy. Also, if your unbuttoned sleeves hit further than the break of your wrist, they need to be shortened to their perfect length. Ideally, a half-inch of your shirt should be exposed when your hands are at rest by your sides.
Altering the collar and cuffs
Collars and cuffs usually get the most dirt and grime than the rest of your shirt. When this happens, they limp down, look sloppy, and can even ruin your entire look. Expert tailors can easily lend a hand and make the necessary alterations. Your collar and cuffs don't exactly have to be the same garment or fabric as your shirt, but you can never go wrong with a white contrast. To take your look up a notch, you can also get someone to engrave a personalised design for your collar studs or cufflinks!
Altering the buttons
When you buy a discounted shirt, chances are it may have loose buttons or buttons that don't match the style that you prefer. When they're not appropriately sewn, shirt buttons can also be easily ripped, lost, and damaged, especially when you have your shirt laundered. You don't have to throw away your shirt just because of a few missing buttons! You can have polo shirt alterations done to fix your problem. You can also try getting a professional laundry service that you trust to avoid further damages to your shirt.
