The Essence of
Tailoring
We realize that the garments of the
best-dressed women are suggested
not obtruded and on that basis
we fit our garments to the woman
and not the woman to her clothes.
It's this that makes for the es
sence of tailoring that marks the
line between the master tailor and
the one who turns out his product
by rule.
