We sometimes need to remind clients that off the rack shopping with pre-made samples is extremely different than ordering a custom made to order garment. One should not use an off the rack mentality when considering having a garment custom made to order. The sample you try on from off the rack is not made specific to your body length, torso, depth, neckline, etc. This is why some clients will dismiss the design and think the design wont work or doesnt "look good" on. But there could be nothing wrong with the design and it simply needs to be made specific to your body shape, length, torso, etc.. When a design is actually made specific to the client the odds of it not working out are extremely low - unlike anything you try on off the rack which was not made specifically for you. Therefore off the rack fitting is not the best tool to use to decide if a design (that is being custom made to order/measure) will work.
The best way to decide if a design will work for you is to ask yourself what part of my body do I want to cover and what part of my body do I want to show. This will dictate the proper design for you. Then all you have to do is have it made specific to your body shape, torso, etc...(unlike anything that you would try on off the rack that may not hit in the proper places.)
