The Importance of Being Ernest About Tailoring & RepairProper wardrobe maintenance is one of the touchstones of good dressing. Every gal should, at the very least, know how to sew a button or hem a pair of pants. Even better, educate yourself about how your fabulous couture is created. The most important tome on the subject of sewing is, of course, the VOGUE Sewing Book. Whether you opt for an older edition (fantastic finds on ebay, girls!) or a sparkly new one, this quintessential volume will be an indispensable to you in your lifelong love affair with fashion.
And for goodness’ sake, be on a first name, Holiday-card-sending basis with your tailor; (s)he is 
your best friend. There is nothing more unbecoming than the sight of a really gorgeous, ill-fitting dress. Every item in your wardrobe should fit YOU, perfectly. Trust me, it is worth the thirty bucks to nip that jacket in at the waist, or hem that frock to a flattering just-above-the-knee length. If you are going to invest in Designer duds, come to terms with the fact that RTW is not actually RTW.
