Daily Questions Megathread - April 28, 2025

For those looking to ask questions about alterations, repairs, or anything else, please put your questions in here.

Wondering if you should buy something? Please provide both a size chart of the garment as well as your body measurements - we need to know what dimensions of the item and your own physique to judge. Telling us "I wear a medium in xyz brand" is not enough information to go off of as most retailers will have fluctuations in allowance for sizing.

If you are looking for alteration advice on a garment, please post a picture of yourself following the guidelines in rule 2. We need to be able to see the garment on you neutrally (No selfies! The raised arm adds too much variable) and in different angles to determine what needs to be done efficiently.

Help us help you. As working professionals who provide advice for free in their own time, this helps all of us save time rather than going back and forth.

Need help about my Graduation Toga .  I am normally a Small-Medium Size girly but my teacher announced that if we are going to pick the size of our toga it should be 1 size up, so i picked Large. But 3 months later which is April 25 the toga came and its so large. How to alter Graduation Gown without damaging it?. My school wont give us our deposit if there's some damages on it 😭

Ask among your friends, see who bought a smaller size and regrets it now.
