 Welcome back to my channel guys, it's your girl Coco Styles and on this channel we talk about beauty, fashion, lifestyle and styling guys. So today I just want to quickly quickly come on here. I'm just like in my YouTube room just finishing up straightening up some stuff and I wanted to talk about tailoring your clothes. You guys know I'm tall. I got some stuff tailored recently and I just thought I'd do a video. I am going to do a separate video showing you guys what I got tailored but as a tall woman, ooh the struggle of finding stuff guys. It's like it's such a hassle finding jackets that fit all the way down our arms. It's a hassle to find pants and jeans that fit us. And tailoring is something that I always do. So I wanted to tell you guys some of the things that I actually get tailored and things that you can get tailored if you don't think that you can. So first thing is I always research areas when I move into to find a tailor. If I move out of state, this is the same routine. So you find a couple of tailors that you like and see how good they are. Then make your decision. It's almost like going to the dry cleaners because they're all not created equally guys because I'll swear to God some of them do not clean your stuff. So I pick a few that I like and then I actually go in and you know analyze the outfits. See how much they actually listen to me. As a tall girl who's not like super big as far as like hips and things, legs and hips. I actually make sure that they listen to my needs, right? So if I buy something with pockets, for example, I make sure that if the pockets are sticking out way too much, I have them take that in, right? If I buy a pair of let's just say boyfriend jeans or mom jeans, whatever they call them, I have to completely size up to like a size 14 guys. Just so it can be loose on my legs, but I have them take in the weights and they don't just take in the weights, they actually cut the pants in the back and they bring them up. They do a whole bunch of stuff to them. So as a tall woman guys, it is important that you are paying attention to those things. Everything is not made for us. We know this already. So instead of being frustrated, just actually go ahead and find a tailor. My jackets, my blazers, my coats, anything I size up because I can't do anything with something that's too small for me, right? I size up and then get it taken in now. I bought a Zara jacket. It's probably in here, but I'm going to do a video with it. And for whatever reason, they sent me, I ordered an extra large, but it was like humongous, like humongous. It didn't say it was oversized, but it was huge. It looked like a, when they say extra large, I'm thinking like a standard extra large, not a 1X. So what they sent me was like a 1X. So I had her take it in a lot and the sleeves was okay. The sleeves were just hitting me at the wrist, which was fine for this particular jacket because it's satin, but I had her take it all the way in. It looks really, really good. I guess I am going to do a video with that, but this is really more so about the tailor in part. So my blazers, now. I just asked her recently, could she do jeans, lengthening the jeans? And she told me yes. So I'm going to do an experiment where I'm going to take some jeans to her, something cheap, and I'm going to get two pair of jeans and see what she can do as far as lengthening the jeans. Right? I've seen a lady on YouTube do something to her jeans to lengthen them, but I didn't like the stitching across it because you can see it. So I have an idea of what I think she should do. And guys, I'm telling you, if she can do this for your girl, it is over for everybody. Because it's so hard for us to find pants, skirts and stuff are okay. Now that I'm thinking about it, I have another idea because I can probably do, because here's the thing. I'm going to keep it 100%. A lot of brands that carry tall clothes that specifically cater to tall women, I do not like the quality. I don't like the fabric of the things. A lot of the pants that the trousers don't have pockets, it's just a no-go for me. So for me, I am always going to remain stylish, so I'm always going to find a way. So I'm thinking I have another idea about a dress that I can possibly have her do as well. I've seen her take dresses and turn them into fancy, fancy stuff. So if I can figure out what she can do to my trousers and jeans, as far as the length, I'm going to really take a lot of my stuff there. And then I wouldn't have to buy a whole bunch of stuff either. So what will probably happen is I'll probably end up having to buy two items, two of the same items, so she can kind of put them together, which is still okay, because if it's a great quality outfit, I'm not going to have to rebuy it again if it's tailored to fit me. So those are just struggles that we have as tall women. It's no joke out here, guys, because these brands do not cater to us. And I wish that I had a bigger following because I have a lot to say about this. And there's kids that shoot up and like young kids, they shoot up. I shot up in the fourth grade. Fourth grade, I was at the back of the line. I don't know what happened over the summer, but my behind was taller than everybody. And I didn't care, but I just realized that I couldn't wear the things that my friends wore. So it was a struggle for me, but I learned very, very early on about tailoring. And it's because I lived in New York City and I used to shop in Soho and West Fourth a lot. Okay. And back then they were getting a lot of stuff made, made to fit. So you know, down there, it's a lot of tall people. So they would get their stuff made. So a friend and I would go down there and look at up, get some clothes and take them down there and get them done for us. She was tall too. It's kind of like stuck together with that, but it's a struggle for us guys. And if you are tall, even petite, you guys have the same struggle like us. So as a personal stylist, it's just, it's literally the same struggle. Just the opposite, literally. Their things are too big on them. They have to get them tailored. Right. Advertised women, you can tell us stuff, but you don't have to do much to it. Just a little nipped up, right? But for the petite and the tall plus size, I will always say this, I think plus size have a lot of nice things. I see it all the time. And I'm just like, what happened to the tall women? It's like, we're such a small demographic. It's not fair. However, I'm not going to let it get me down because I will remain stylish. Like this top that I have on, this is from Theory. I don't know if you guys can see, it's just a plain. It's a really nice top. The sleeves are, let me see if I can pull them up. The sleeves are like, kind of like bell and it has a split on the side. Theory is a little pricey, but I don't have problems with shirts like that, not as much as blazers. For whatever reason, blazers are made so weird to me. Like the sleeves are so short, I don't know. But those are some struggles that I have. But Taylor and guys, I'm telling you, it's your best friend, best friend, best friend. And then we got shoes. Shoes is a whole little thing, but this video is about Taylor and so you can tell your jackets, you can tell your shirts. I'm just having all these ideas in my head right now about what she can actually try for me. Shirts, you can tell your jackets, blazers. You should be okay with hoodies and stuff because usually those are made like really big pajamas and stuff. I wouldn't even try to go get them tailored. You can find extra long pajamas. As far as taking them in, maybe the waist because they may just be too big, right? Other than that, that's it. Your trousers, your jeans, your skirts. And this is what I'm going to have her try. If you see a midi skirt or dress, and it's not meant for tall women, I'm thinking you can probably take two dresses and get them stitched together somehow. Listen, I saw the lady do something to this lady's dress and I'm just like, okay, she's good. So she's going to be my new lady. Guys, just look for a Taylor. Trust me, it'll be your best friend. It's not that expensive now. Here's the thing. I think she's a little pricey. I think she's a little pricey, but I like her. I think she's a little pricey. But normally they're not that much just to get certain things a little nicked and tucked. It's not that bad. So think about a Taylor. Let me know if you have ever worked with a Taylor or a seamstress. Is it something that you're interested in or you just don't care about how the clothes fit you or you don't have a struggle if you are 5'9 and up? If you don't struggle, because I think 5'9 women, you should be okay with buying clothes. I'm probably just making it and maybe 5'10, but maybe not 5'10. The struggle is real, guys. It's real. But it doesn't stop us from being stylish and I would never let it stop me from being stylish. Style is something that's unique to you, so if you have it, you just have it, okay? And I just like to look put together at all times. Even if I have one sneakers, I still want to look put together regardless. So that's my quick little tip about Taylor and guys. I haven't told you guys about my vision line. So this is week 14. I'm probably talking so funny. It doesn't hurt. However, on the side here, I can't even pull them out. They gave me a file to file it down, but it's not, I don't think it's that. I just think that it was like positioned weird in my mouth, but it's like hurting my cheek a little bit. But other than that, still no pain. I do see my teeth shifting, shifting. So I'll probably do a full on video in probably the next couple of trays. Just give it some time and then give you guys a rundown. I'm almost done. I have 25 trays. The last five trays are retainers, but I think I am going to get some more trays. I'm almost 100% sure. Maybe I'll go up to December, maybe January, but I'll keep you guys posted on that. But that's a little quick update guys. Still going good with them. No real pain. I only have pain probably two separate trays. The most so far and the one that was hurting the top. I see that my tooth is like straight, like literally. So we shall see guys, we shall see. I guess people who had Invisalign was saying that they teeth were hurting a lot. I don't feel it. Not like that guys. I can count the two times that I did have the issue. Well, two different trays, but one time it was like three days. But other than that, everything is going good guys. So that's all I wanted to talk to you guys about was quick tailoring and try to get you a tailor if you are trying to elevate your wardrobe as far as like how it fits your body. I was just looking at some stuff here to see what I have. If you wanted to like elevate your body or whatever. I mean elevate your look and the clothes that how they fit on your body.
