Sometimes you come across the perfect outfit but the fit is not quite right. This happened to me last week. I fell in love with a red raincoat. It looked lovely from the front but when I turned round it was bulging out at the back. As it was in the sale I bought it anyway and took it to a seamstress to have it altered. She made some darts in the back so that it actually gave my body some shape all for the price of £4.00.

My message is that there are ladies like her all over the country who will alter clothes for a small fee, so any clothes in your wardrobe that don’t fit think about having them altered. The same goes when buying clothes. If they are too big that can be fixed, but if they are too small then I suggest you try a larger size.
