Claire James at Project reFashion has a very interesting commentary
on the dying art of tailoring
. She examines the difference between
personal/reconstructive fashion sewing and true, high quality
tailoring. She makes some
great points
about the change in quality of how clothes are being
made, and how the lost art of tailoring is affecting small business
alteration shops.
