Clothes rarely fit anyone perfectly straight off the rack—they are made to fit the masses, not the individual. That's why the perfect custom fit is not something you buy; it's something you create. The smarter approach? Buy quality pieces that are slightly oversized, and then tailor them to your exact measurements at IMAGE Tailors.


The Rise of Pre-Loved Quality and Vinted Finds


The fast fashion model is fading. More consumers across are turning to platforms like Vinted or charity shops to find durable, quality fabrics and timeless garments.

This is the key: by combining these affordable, high-quality finds with expert tailoring, you get clothes that are not only unique and affordable but are also built to last, a true custom piece without the custom price tag.



Tailoring is Your Long-Term Investment in Sustainability


When you spend a little extra on clothing alterations, you're not just adjusting a garment but extending its life and maximising its value. This approach is sustainable at its core, allowing you to:

  • Own Clothes That Last: Pieces that fit you perfectly, resisting wear and tear better because the fabric isn't strained.

  • Embrace Sustainable Fashion: Instead of endlessly discarding clothes that don’t quite fit, you give garments a second life—kinder to your wallet and the planet.

  • Build a Wardrobe You Love: Every item becomes a cherished favourite because it feels custom-made for you.
