At ShirtsandSuits.com, we like to work with businesses in your local area, but we understand that you will want to get your measurements taken as precisely as possible. Here is a reply that I gave to one of our clients today from Brisbane:

Our measurements system is aimed to be robust and easy – anyone who has done a bit of sewing can probably do it for you without a second thought, and pretty much anyone can probably do it for you anyway. But if you would like to have your measurements taken professionally, there are a few options.

You can have the measurements taken professionally by many alterations stores. I have had good reports from Helen at LuLu Fashions in Toowong – when I visited her she offered to do your measurements for $20. They are open 8am-6pm Monday to Friday and 9am-noon on Saturday at Shop 4a, 49 Sherwood Road or call them on 3871 0606. You’ll want to take a printout of the measurements page for convenience and to make sure that you get all the measurements.

I send my friends there, though honestly most dry cleaners and alterations stores can do a good job if you ask them.

So grab a printout of our measurements page for men or women and head along to your local drycleaner or alterations store. And please let us know what they are like.

And just remember that if your garment isn’t quite the right fit, just let us know, send it back to us and we’ll fix it up.
