05 · Who wrote it
Aunt Bev is 71 and lives in Fort Wayne, Indiana. She spent 38 years in a department-store alterations room, fitting ordinary customers and talking through what was bothering them about a garment.
She knows the difference between a size-label problem, a cut problem and a change worth discussing with an alterations shop, from everyday trousers, coats, dresses, skirts and blouses to the waistbands, hems, sleeves and linings that decide whether good clothes get worn or left in the closet.
Her book never blames the body. It helps you look at the garment first, save what is worth saving, and arrive at an alterations appointment with useful questions.
