I've a couple of suits bought pre-weightloss which are now too big for me.
They're not exactly Savile Row but they still cost me a few bob. Rather than stumping out for a couple of new suits, is it worth getting them tailored/taken in? If so, any recommendations?

A belt for the trousers and a bulldog clip for the jacket?

Wait a couple of years and they'll fit you again.

The bulldog clip might get me funny looks in the office. Wait a couple of years and they'll fit you again.
How cynical. |

Couldn't you get a couple of £20 suits if they are for work? I know of a seamstress in Calne who could probably take them in.

Jensons in Gorse Hill (just past the co-op going North) does tailoring - the bloke is a bit strange but I've used him successfully for this in the past. (No Jenson's Buttons jokes please) |

There are a couple of tailors in Rodbourne a few doors down from Ron's Hardware stores, might be worth asking them what it would cost

I'm not exactly a designer snob, but there's no way you'd catch me in one of those Tesco value £20 shiny polyester specials.

Ta, Nev. I'll have to pop in and see what they suggest. |

Marks and Sparks actually do some great cheap suits. Less than 50 quid for something machine-washable and that looks like a suit 100 quid more expensive? I'll take that.

A cheapo suit isn't probably going to fit very well anyway.
