Hey, do you have a good tailor?
Hey everyone. I've just started my ride, being banded 17 days ago, and I'm already starting to see its effects. Including the pre-op diet, I'm down 21 pounds, which I certainly hope continues!
Now, about that -- does anyone have a GREAT tailor or seamstress that they've worked with, particularly on letting in/letting out/refitting some clothes to your new body? I plan to give my heavier clothes away as soon as I'm out of them to help motivate me to not gain again, but there are some good pieces which I love that I'd like to be able to take along with me.
Recomendations in the Jersey City area (and surrounding vicitiny) would be great. For someone who's amazing and reasonable, I'll travel.
Also, this might be separate, but when it comes to a seamstress -- I plan to wear practically a uniform for the next year while I'm losing weight. Tight black leggings with short dresses or skirts that hang loosely, but nicely - you know, the flexibility to accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative. I have a few very basic pieces that i'd like to show someone to insipire a recreation, more tailored for me, and in a few different sizes to help take some of the clothes drama out of my life!
Message me if you can help with a really quality recommendation. Thanks!

Remember to keep one "fat" outfit for later on - to remind yourself of the journey and where you were - it'll be fun and funny later - especially for pics. Also, if you ever go to an OH conference, you can use that outfit for the "before" outfit in the fashion show...
