When we arrived for our first appointment, our sales associate and stylist walked us through each step of the process, which began with sifting through fabric swatches and a conversation about our personal taste. The stylist was armed with an arsenal of knowledge about tailoring, explaining which stylistic choices veer more traditional and which are more modern when it comes to each and every detail on the garment — particularly those in which we were able to customize.
While my boyfriend opted for the Stapleford Seersucker Navy Suit, with the intention to add something more lightweight to his wardrobe for summer weddings and events, I was in the market for a look that really showcased my personality and was inspired by the Knotting Birdseye lilac co-ords our stylist happened to be wearing that day. I wanted a miniskirt, just like the one I'd seen in the Instagram ad, so the team adjusted the pencil silhouette to the appropriate height. I also wanted to be able to wear a matching vest as a top underneath my jacket, since I tend to sweat easily while dancing, so I tacked on a third piece to my order.
