Van’s Tailoring
1586 Del Monte Blvd., Seaside
899-5650
Normally, a trip to the tailor provides a reminder of how mass-produced clothing is designed to fit everyone except you. Your legs are shorter, your waist thicker, your bust smaller than the mannequin at the mall. When you try on clothing for Van, he might do something amazing: Instead of pinning away, he’ll tell you that you look beautiful, the tight parts are perfectly flattering, and you should wear a garment as is. Talking you out of hiring him for a job means less work for him, but for the things he does agree need tailoring, he’ll work fast and cleanly, making your clothes look like they were made to fit you and only you.
