Ordered an overshirt from the Country Road outlet but it's a bit big for me. Anyone know any where I (M) could get it altered? Country Road stores won't take it because it's from the outlet π
Downsizing a shirt is difficult - depending on whether you want to reduce the length, the width or the sleeves etc. You would need to go to an alterations place and get a quote. There's a lot of moving parts in a shirt. Please note that downsizing the collar will be near impossible for a ready made shirt for anything reasonable in price.
The easiest and cheapest would be to reduce the sleeve length only. For the rest, I would just live with it as a roomy shirt.
Quite a few dry cleaners offer an alterations service for simple changes like sleeve length. Might be worth checking out your local.
You canβt exchange it through the online store for a smaller size?
Unfortunately not, I think it was one of the last pieces πͺ
Don't they have an online return policy?
Possibly but I like the shirt and would like to size down. Also it's country road and I got it for cheap
