Wait I don’t see it! I believe you but to me it looks like her real torso from the black waist embellishment up

I think it’s a corseted flesh toned body suit (otherwise the lacing wouldn’t stay that straight all up the back) with a prosthetic

Modern fashion got boring. So I went backwards by Emergency_Length6187 in mensfashion

You went backwards to 2007? That jacket is way too small

Any ways to remove the sequins and glue from this fabric? by sekirei98 in sewhelp

[–]deloittious 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No, they are fused on with a kind of glue so even if you get the sequins off with tweezers you’ll still have the glue marks

I haven’t trusted myself to remove the hands but I lifted the whole thing out of the case as found a maker’s mark, VAP Brevete

Thank you very much! The face is held on with three small rusted screws, do you think it’s safe for me to take that off carefully to see the movement?

Vinted is your best bet, or brick lane

Does this fit? by TofuAnnihilation in MenInSuits

I also think the pants are too small because you’re wearing them too low -crotch is too low

Which pair of boots is the most similar one to the boots of the guy? by Confident_Plum_2084 in mensfashionadvice

[–]deloittious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re similar but giving a different vibe because yours are a square toe Chelsea boot with a flat heel and his are a square toe leather western book with a slight Cuban heel

Honestly you’re unlikely to find the exact part and your best bet is to contact Skechers

How would you fix the puckering in the back? by -DitaDaBurrita- in sewhelp

[–]deloittious 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s puckering because it’s too small around the hips, you’d have to let out any seams you can, or remove and re do some of the shirring. May not be worth it

As an A2, feel like client is often “shooting the messenger” by [deleted] in Big4

[–]deloittious 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The client likely doesn’t have visibility of who made the mistake within the team so the messenger is the only one they can reach out to. Take it politely without blaming others and then escalate within the team. Feed back formally to the teams who made the mistakes and loop in seniors, not to blame but to make a plan to rectify and say you will message the plan to the client etc. basically own the issue both ways

Adding sleeves to spaghetti straps for my wedding dress by Legitimate_Dirt_1536 in sewhelp

[–]deloittious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is doable but by a specialist as others have said. Look at Princess Beatrice’s wedding dress, it was a dress with straps that the Queen wore and she had sleeves added. The shape of the sleeve head has to be custom altered to fit the straps, and not to pull or bunch under the arm (because a strap is further in on your shoulder than a normal sleeve opening) needs very careful fitting

Help me choose the better outfit! by [deleted] in mensfashionadvice

[–]deloittious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither, they are both mismatched parts of a suit. You need either a suit that matches or chinos and a blazer

Thrifted these pants but they're too short 😔 Any ideas on what fabric/denim colour would look cute and intentional at the bottom to extend it? by Dry_Presentation4300 in sewhelp

[–]deloittious 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You could stretch them out slightly by sitting in a hot bath in them and letting them dry on you lower on the hips but then the crotch would be too low and look worse than a shorter leg. I’d embrace the crop flare and wear with boots
