Shortening Suit Jacket Sleeves /u/Denimheadly /r/malefashionadvice

Hi everyone,

Hope someone can help me out. I went to a tailor who works with my family. However, there is quite a language barrier with me.

I wanted the sleeve shortened on a suit jacket and she said she would need to move the buttons and what not.

She seems to do the standard stuff pretty good like tapering, hemming pants, adjusting the waist of jackets. However, I am a little nervous about this operation in particular.

What is involved in this exactly? Will it look the same but shorter? Should I just wait to go to a very experienced tailor so they can do it at the shoulder?

Please help, it’s a very expensive suit and I don’t want to regret it.
