A 32 kali kurta on a oversized figure is a complete faux pas. Gentle gather will give the same effect and a confident you. Play around with lines i.e. necklines and hem lines. A sweetheart or sabrina neckline will do well on a long neck. Alternate into a Chinese collar and close fit to stay slim and grace at your neck.
Styles are many and choose the right one. Whenever you buy a material, sit around with the fabric, understand the fall of the garment. A chiffon or georgette is all about feminity. Satin and silks take shape of your body. Another art is in cutting the garment. Make time with your designer. An empire line for a heavy figure seems like a perfect fashion blooper. An ace tailor masters the trends and applies it to Indian fashion. Indianizing western wear is necessary to an extent. Fits needs to be trendy yet classy.
Whether a tuxedo- 3 piece suit or a button down shirt the cut does the trick is styling. A normal tweed plaid jacket will look bland without right detailing of collars and pockets.

It's a privilege to have a good tailor who understands your fitting style and moreover you. Assist him with ideas but go with his knowledge. Certain clothes require lining and retaining the lining to withstand wash and colour is the tailors duty. Pre-wash is necessary with linings and also some fabrics which are sensitive to shrinking.
Alteration is a major branch of Tailoring. All tailors cannot master this art. An old skirt lying in your cupboard corner, need not be thrown away. Alter the seams, steam press it, cover over with some georgette layers in handkerchief style and a new casual evening wear is ready. The same goes for your trousseau wear, which you long to wear but won't fit as now you are pleasantly healthier. Bring out the blouses, use the zari work, re-do the buttoning and add in a few strings to tie up. Cut a boat neck on the old Chinese collar of a former satin Punjabi suit. Taper the cowls of the dhoti salwar and a new dress is ready. Denims are friends forever and just alter the length. Cut-offs are good for monsoon, shorts for home wear and embellish if you want. Fashion tricks lie with the scissor hands – your Tailor.
