Key to fashion is having it fit your frame well.....and knowing what suites your particular frame. Far too many woman haven’t a clue. A gal can look outstanding in less expensive clothing if she knows these facts.
A seamstress is worth their weight in gold.
Just don’t take wardrobe advice from Stacey and Clinton. ;)
I can’t afford a seamstress, but since I live in a rural area and do construction work, jeans, a shirt and boots are my “uniform” most of the time. I’m tall and a readily available anywhere size 5 fits fine-but I’m always mindful of the way even my jeans look-I like to be neat and tailored-not going to wear fussy stuff that is intended for a shorter woman with a curvy frame, or stuff without a defined waist and hips-I’d look ridiculous, no matter how expensive the designer garment was...
