While the amount of time it takes to complete the alterations can vary depending on the complexity and type of alterations needed, and the availability of the tailor, there are some general guidelines to keep in mind
Sizes:4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18
Rather than standard, predictable party dresses, look for options that feature sharp tailoring, interesting cutouts, plunging necklines, or subtle metallic threading
Waist: 12.5
With quality cotton fabric like what Hockerty uses your black dress shirt will maintain its depth of color far longer than cheaper alternatives
Opt for blue and white stripes for a crisp nautical feel, then add espadrille sandals in a neutral tan or black
