If you are concerned about the salesperson\u2019s ability to fit you, ask about trunk shows in which representatives of the company which will make the garment will be in store- often there are discounts offered during these shows and you will be sure to have an experienced fitter on hand.<\/p>\n<p>This list is by no means exhaustive (and covers only the jacket- there are more for trousers) but will give you an idea of the flexibility of modern MTM programs.<\/p>\n<p>Lengthen\/shorten jacket<br \/>Lengthen\/shorten sleeve<br \/>Button stance higher\/lower<br \/>Pocket higher\/lower<br \/>Increase\/reduce back<br \/>Increase\/reduce center front<br \/>Increase\/reduce waist<br \/>Increase\/reduce seat<br \/>Increase\/reduce waist and seat<br \/>Sloped shoulder<br \/>Square shoulder<br \/>Erect<br \/>Stoop<br \/>Easy armhole<br \/>Full chest<br \/>Flat chest<br \/>Longer\/ shorter strap<br \/>Dip neck<br \/>Pinch neck<br \/>Short\/long neck<br \/>Big\/small neck<br \/>Forward shoulder point<br \/>Big arms<br \/>Deeper\/higher armhole<br \/>Sway back<br \/>Round back<br \/>Hollow back<br \/>Prominent\/flat blades<br \/>Arms back\/forward<br \/>Increase\/reduce point to point<br \/>Left low\/ right low<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For those who have been wondering about their options when ordering made-to-measure suits, below is a list of alterations which are typically available- far more<span class=\"read-more-link\"><a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/robertjeffery.us\/tuttofattoamano\/made-to-measure\/\">Read More<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[94],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-254","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mtm"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/robertjeffery.us\/tuttofattoamano\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/robertjeffery.us\/tuttofattoamano\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/robertjeffery.us\/tuttofattoamano\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/robertjeffery.us\/tuttofattoamano\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/robertjeffery.us\/tuttofattoamano\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=254"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/robertjeffery.us\/tuttofattoamano\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/robertjeffery.us\/tuttofattoamano\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=254"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/robertjeffery.us\/tuttofattoamano\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=254"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/robertjeffery.us\/tuttofattoamano\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=254"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
