DCWHITE is a brand that offers a modern take on the ivy style that originated on the East Coast of the United States. "IVY BD" was produced with the aim of creating a high-quality dress shirt tailored item that can be found in prestigious American clothing stores. When it comes to tailoring dress shirts, casual shirts are usually finished with side seams that are around 6mm wide, but the side seams are 4mm wide. The needle movement is 21/3 cm instead of the usual 18/3 cm.The stitch work gives off a sense of understated elegance.As for sewing the buttons, Nemaki (the thread used to sew the button and shirt together is further threaded) The fabric is wrapped around the back to increase its strength, making it perfect even in areas that are difficult to see.Also, by using a split yoke on the back, the fabric is difficult to separate from the back, which is a point of view unique to dress shirt tailoring. We were able to complete the above-mentioned manufacturing method through close communication with a Japanese dress shirt factory. However, the silhouette is different from traditional dress shirts, and the armholes are different from traditional dress shirts. This allows it to be used in a wider range of situations, such as as a dress shirt underneath a jacket, or as a casual shirt tucked out and worn alone.Size SML Length 79 80.5 82 Shoulder width 44.5 46.5 48.5 Bust 115 119 123 Sleeve length 59.3 60.3 61.3 --- Material: 100% cotton Made in Japan

I am 5'2" necessitating LOTS of hemming and shortening of pants, skirts, and dresses. I just can't find anything the right length. If you've ever priced the cost of professional seamstresses (and add in the time it takes to get your clothing back), it costs a fortune to have everything you buy hemmed. I learned years ago how to hem pants and skirts, but jeans always gave me grief. A couple of years ago my older sister showed me a pair of her jeans that she had hemmed professionally, and it was easy to see how it was done. The difference is that jeans typically have a worn edge. The hem is decorative, so cutting that edge off to shorten them takes away part of the character you're paying for. So I developed a tutorial for hemming jeans the way professional would. Hope you find this helpful! What you'll need: sewing machine dark thread to match the jeans iron straight pins measuring tape scissors The Process: You'll need to measure the desired length of the jeans. The easiest way I've found to do this is to have the person stand on a chair and scoot back so the heel of their shoes is even with the edge of the chair. It might be helpful to note that you definitely need to have them wear the shoes they'd typically wear with the jeans. I prefer to hem the jeans to the ground. So, using a safety pin or water-soluble marking pen, mark the desired length (in my case, where the shoe ends and the chair begins). Next, measure the amount you'll need to shorten them from the edge of the current hem to the mark you've made. In the jeans in this tutorial, they needed to be shortened 2 1/2 inches. Lay the jeans flat on a hard surface, and measure up the desired length (2 1/2 inches here) from the stitching on the current hem. Since the current hem will remain in place, that half inch or so will also remain. So, if you measure from the edge of your jeans, they'll still be a half an inch too long after hemming. Make sense? Now place a straight pin to mark. Next you'll fold the edge of your jeans up into a cuff matching the current stitching to just above the pin like this. Pin in place. To check your accuracy, divide your total amount needed to shorten (2 1/2 inches for me) by 2 (equalling 1 1/4 inches in my case). Measure from the fold to just under the current stitching making sure this amount is half of the amount you need to take it in. Next, keeping this length consistent, pin all the way around the cuff. Measure as you go to make sure you're still consistent. Repeat these steps on the second leg. When both legs are securely pinned, move the pants to your sewing machine. Carefully stitch in the ditch just along the fold of the current hem. Make sure to get as close to this fold as possible being careful not to sew on top of it or across the current stitching. Stitch all the way around backstitching where you stop and start. Repeat this step for the other leg. Remove your jeans from the machine, and turn the cuff up to the inside of the leg like this. With a steaming hot iron, press this new seam from the inside all the way around each leg. Now turn the pants inside-out revealing the new cuff on the inside of the leg. Using super sharp scissors, cut the cuff about a quarter inch from your stitching. Turn the jeans right-side-out, and iron again if necessary to reveal your finished hem. Easy, and your seam is almost invisible! As always, please feel free to comment with questions, and I'll do my best to answer.
