Alterations are a very important part of looking good. Don't be afraid to have clothes altered to fit you right. You would be surprised at what a slight adjustment can do to flatter your figure and make you look more polished. I usually do not use pockets in my pants and sometimes the cut of the slacks cause the pocket to bulge so, I simply sew the pockets shut. This one row of stitches makes the world of difference. A tailor can take that blouse or pant, that you haven't worn because it just doesn't look right, and perhaps change it and make it fit better for a fraction of what it would cost to get a new item. So before you throw things out, take a good look at them and ask yourself if you would wear it if it fit better. If the answer is yes, then visit your local tailor or better yet, do it yourself.
