I’m sharing this secret because I want people to look and feel confident in their attire.

The sizing terminology used to describe women’s clothing can frustrate even the most patient shopper. Why should a woman’s bust, waist and hips be rolled into one generic size?  Men can purchase clothing that is labeled with everything from neck circumference to arm length, while women struggle to decide if they are an “8,” “10,” “medium,” or “large.”

Manufacturers are slow to change their ways but I promise you, there is still one way get the most out of your bargain items.
In order to achieve your best look on a budget:

Take your favorite bargain pieces to a local tailor.

A good tailor can make a budget outfit look as though it was made for you.  There is no substitute for a well-fitted garment, so get to know your neighborhood tailor and use them to alter everything from jeans to minidresses to button-down shirts.  The difference will amaze you.  No one has to know how much you paid for the original garment.  All they’ll know is- it fits you like a glove.

This tip is great for men and women who want their “bargain buys” to look even more like “designer finds.” For more secrets of life and style, visit me at SoUrban.net.

Happy hunting!

Not only that, but even if you have a size number, it’s just a ballpark figure to get you started. Different brands size their clothes differently, so you might be a size 12 in one brand and a size 16 in another. And if the bigger size fits better, then you need to go with the bigger size. You might think it’s bad to wear a bigger size, but if it fits well, you’ll look at least one size smaller. And no one will know but you.
