How Red Hanger Online Alteration Services Work
Stand a little taller with custom tailoring and clothing alterations.
``North Americans as a whole need to embrace having clothes altered to their body. I hear it all the time: why do the Europeans always look so good? They have a relationship with their tailor and spend the time to make their clothes look their best.``
-Michael Kors
So, are custom alterations really worth it?

Measure yourself to hem slacks, jeans and trousers.
First, measure the outside seam by starting at your hips and measuring past your knees down to the floor. Keep your measuring tape as close to the leg as possible. Once the tape measure reaches the floor, subtract an inch or two from the total length of the out-seam to account for the shoes.
Then, measure the inside seam. Start as close to the crotch line as possible and measure to the floor. To account for shoes, take the same 1-2 inches off the total measurement as you did on the outside seam.
Make a note of the total length you’d like for both the outside seam and the inside seam.
Measure yourself to alter your skirts.
First, measure your waist following the belt line right above the hips and below the navel.
Then, measure your hips at the meatiest portion of your bum and thighs. Add a finger underneath to ensure your measurement is not too snug.
Lastly, measure your garment’s outside seam by starting at the waist and measure to the current hem. Subtract (or add) the total amount you’d like to hem up (or let out) from the bottom.
Leave a note on your garment with the desired measurements for waist, hips and outside seam.
How to measure your waist to take-in a garment.
First, measure your waist following the belt line right above the hips and below the navel. Add one finger under the measuring tape to ensure the measurement is not too snug.
Then, measure your hips at the meatiest portion of your behind and thighs. Again, add a finger underneath the tape to ensure your measurement is not too snug.
Leave a note on your garment to indicate the total measurement you’d like for the waist and hipline to measure.

How to measure your neck and shoulders for shorter sleeves.
To measure your neck’s circumference, find the spot on your neck that corresponds to the collar. Keep your head in a natural and level position while sliding the tape measure around your neck just below the Adam’s apple. The measurement should be comfortable but snug. Hold one finger under the tape to allow for breathing room.
To measure the shoulder and sleeve length, start by standing straight and relaxed with arms hanging comfortably at sides. Then, find the bump of the topmost vertebra and begin measuring from the center back of the neck, over the shoulder and down the length of the outer arm. Take the measurement down to the meatiest part of the hand.
Take a measurement of both arms and find an average of the two. Leave a note on your garment of the total length you’d like the shoulders and sleeves to measure.
