/r/Tailors
For Tailors: show off your work, ask questions about other peoples work, and offer constructive advice (provide an explanation on what you would change on their work). Some folk might have found quicker, cleaner or more efficient of doing things. Share and discuss alike, but as long as the work is visually clean, structurally sound and enjoyed by the client, all methods are valid.
For general folk: please see the rules below before posting. Please ask your questions in our megathread.
Rules
Please see rules HERE before making a post.

For those looking to ask questions about alterations, repairs, or anything else, please put your questions in here.
Wondering if you should buy something? Please provide both a size chart of the garment as well as your body measurements - we need to know what dimensions of the item and your own physique to judge. Telling us "I wear a medium in xyz brand" is not enough information to go off of as most retailers will have fluctuations in allowance for sizing.
If you are looking for alteration advice on a garment, please post a picture of yourself following the guidelines in rule 2. We need to be able to see the garment on you neutrally (No selfies! The raised arm adds too much variable) and in different angles to determine what needs to be done efficiently.
Help us help you. As working professionals who provide advice for free in their own time, this helps all of us save time rather than going back and forth.

I’m taking in these jeans 2 inches in the waist, but I have to take the back darts through the yoke otherwise it’s gives the pants a weird shape. But now the pockets are baggy from my darts. I tried to look up how to do it but can’t get a straight answer so I came here, thank you!!! I attached a picture of the pockets I’m working with

As this is intended to cultivate an open community to share and ask for feedback, please be kind in your asks and responses. Aggressive, obtuse, and otherwise unkind tone of voice in any form will be removed.
If you are seeking general advice, please don't ask your questions in here, it will get removed. We have our daily megathread for that.
