The fabrics were lovely and technically they fit OK, but in that country they apparently wear things much looser than I'd envisioned. I didn't order anything in seersucker, so don't know what they might have done with the stripes...not sure you can chalk that up to language problems, however. Good luck with the next version!Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239488936038510294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861447409543225070.post-84676794831446798142012-03-08T16:57:48.650-06:002012-03-08T16:57:48.650-06:00It's really odd that your tailor didn't cu...It's really odd that your tailor didn't cut the suit on the grain of the fabric (i.e., parallel with the selvedge), as this is standard with all suiting material. An experienced tailor or seamstress should know this without being told. Furthermore, a tailored garment, such as a suit would never hang properly with fabric cut across the grain, it would bag and stretch out in a very unflattering way. Fabric cut on the grain will drape nicely; cut across the grain it will rumple.<br /><br />Sorry for the treatise. It's not your fault. Your new suit should look terrific and be delightful to wear in hot weather.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861447409543225070.post-79637788449249973942012-03-07T15:29:09.074-06:002012-03-07T15:29:09.074-06:00Oh no!

Unless you're thin as a pencil, no one wears horizontal stripes.
