Custom dresses offer a well-fitting wardrobe staple, but can be expensive and show weight gain. They can be worn year-round and on different occasions, but some may not allow for layering. Tailored dresses flatter any body type and offer a variety of materials and colors, but require waiting time.
The main advantage of buying a custom dress is having a well-fitting wardrobe staple, but a big disadvantage is that it can show any weight gain. One downside is that the cost of a tailored dress can be more expensive than less fitted, more casual options. Another advantage of a tailored dress is that it can be purchased in a classic look that allows it to be worn on many different occasions.
For example, a dress that is designed to skim attractively about the wearer’s body in season-spanning fabric can often be worn year-round. If it has short sleeves, adding a fitted turtleneck or another long-sleeved top plus tights underneath can allow the tailored dress to be worn during the fall and winter months. In warmer climates it can be worn on its own or with a light jacket or jacket. Some elegant sleeveless V-neck or scoop-neck dresses can be worn as a jumper with a blouse underneath for work or alone for evening with a sparkly necklace, belt, or other accessory.
However, there are tailored dresses that are too tight to allow even a body-hugging top or blouse to be worn under them. If a woman is putting on a few pounds, this type of tailored dress can look unflattering. If the item has been altered from its original size, this may be a scam to give it away or sell to a consignment clothing store, as it will no longer be an exact size.
A pro of tailored dresses is that it is often easy for a woman to choose one that has the most flattering neckline and sleeve. There are also plenty of beautiful, well-used materials used for many tailored clothing looks, such as cashmere and wool. Color options for tailored dresses also tend to be more expansive than in decades past and there are some pastel and bright options in addition to basic neutrals like black, gray and tan.
Tailored dresses tend to flatter any body type, while no-fit tent garments tend to flatter no one. For petite women, getting a dress tailored to your figure can allow for many options rather than just those made specifically for shorter figure types. One downside to putting out tailored clothing is that it can take several weeks of waiting, as well as time for accessories, whereas ready-to-wear clothing can be worn immediately.
