With these newly lifted bans, and more people possibly returning to work, we do not want to forget about the essential steps that keep everyone safe. A mask should always be worn in public settings where social distancing can be difficult like grocery stores and the post office.
Silhouette is a tailoring boutique and design studio, and tailoring to women’s bodies is clearly our specialty. We can expertly handle complicated alterations with delicate fabrics through the bridal/formal wear side of the business as well as making your everyday garments have their very best fit and proportions. We love to handle what others might not be able to, and our knowledge on knits, finer fabrics and vintage clothing is something that sets us apart. However, having a specialty does not mean that that’s all the services we offer (and of course, for clients we welcome non-binary and men as well!).
The majority of companies do not wash their fabric before garment construction, mostly to get the products out into the world cheaper and faster. Choosing garments labeled ‘pre-shrunk’ is advised when possible, but if that’s not an option, taking a quick glance at the fiber content tag will help you pick an accommodating size. Of course there is no way to fully predict how much shrinking will occur, especially with all the blends, and sometimes its just downright hard to remember all the information. We are here to help!
