With the rise of fast fashion it is easy to get caught up in constantly buying new items, when really you have a perfectly good stash in your wardrobe at home. You probably have a pile of clothes you love but don’t quite fit, or maybe something still with the tags that you thought you loved but actually needs some changes to suit your style. Instead of throwing them out and buying new clothes, consider alterations. They are a really affordable way to refresh your wardrobe without spending a lot of money or contributing to your carbon footprint. Keep reading for three reasons you should get alterations.

We spend so much of our lives in our clothing, people want to look and feel their best, and a lot of the time alterations can make such a big difference. Whether it’s a quick shortening or an entire garment reconstruction, alterations are becoming more and more common.

This is no less true for the work dress; a stylish and professional dress can transport you into business mode, ready to take on that board meeting or deliver that crucial presentation.

Sadly, not every dress you purchase will be the perfect fit; in some places it may be too tight, in others too loose, or just not quite to your liking. You may find yourself relegating a dress you originally bought with excitement to the back of the wardrobe, or wear it only if you must. It doesn’t always have to be so! Thankfully professional dress alterations can give your work dresses a new lease of life.
