A reasonable business model, but still if you are going to have models display your product on your website, you should do your best to insure they have been properly tailored before the photoshoot.

It wasn't about the photoshoot and it wasn't about their website. It was about the experience of being comfortable shopping for the first time for a person who is genderqueer and often unable to find clothes that are comfortable. - Jordan Ponders

It looks like the blogger just liveblogged their experience with the photographs they took while trying clothing with friends and shooting some photographs with their phones. Those don't look like any sort of "photoshoot" to me, just friends taking pictures of an outing and then telling about the positive experience they'd had once they got home. That having been said, I'm no judge of tailoring; are their official photographs better? http://www.saintharridan.com/

It's important to note that even off the rack, those pieces already fit better than typical off the rack pieces from the average menswear department do on those who identify as butch, genderqueer, or trans*. I dunno who you've done tailoring work for and with, and you may be in a very welcoming community, but I don't feel confident about seeking tailoring services for my dress shirts and jackets, even though I live in an area with a big butch community and growing genderqueer and trans* communities. You get used to accepting very ill-fitting clothing when you're busy sorting out a lot of the other stuff about your body and your presentation and identity. So: the blogger is excited because they've had an experience they have never felt they had access to before, and never felt welcome to before, and I'm sure once the pieces they select are altered those folks will look like a million bucks.

Off the rack especially on a woman, even a trans woman is a fitting challenge. Especially compared to men.

Yes I went to the companies page and looked there and those are also poorly fitted. On a shopper the first time you try a suit on that is acceptable. The models showing off your line not so much.

I do not expect bespoke quality but top end off the rack to low end custom is the minimum they should have on their site.
