The session was hence rescheduled to the following Saturday, a few hours before Lorraine's workshop. Was expecting it to take a while, but to my surprise, the measurements were largely correct. No major changes required.
The white dress shirt cutting was good. I felt comfortable wearing it, in fact I felt that it was better done than CYC's. Now, I'm contemplating whether to make another, since I perspire a lot. But perhaps another fabric, to be worn without the waistcoat.
The pants were good too. Not too tight nor too loose. My dear bride actually commented that the bottoms cutting were much better than all of my OTR pants! Just one important thing to take note, need to wear formal shoes in the next fitting, just to check the length. And yes, the fabric felt smooth, nice and comfortable.
Although the waistcoat was not fully done, it felt fitting too. Simon decided to make minor alterations on the sides as it seemed to be a little loose. They also marked out the buttons positions. We also added a buckle at the back since I somehow forgotten about this. I wanted to change the back lining to the same as my coat, but dear bride raised violent objections. I guess she doesn't want me to steal her lime-light! Oh well, I'd better oblige.
The last was the coat itself. Really nothing to alter at all. It fitted nicely, especially the shoulders. The only thing we did was to adjust the sleeve length to show the french cuffs. Since the sleeve will have functional buttons, I would probably unbutton the first.
All these took less than an hour, significantly lesser than what I had expected. But strangely, both of us didn't remember to take photos of the session! Well, just have to remember to do it in the next fitting.
