waist suppression


Explanation:
Waist suppression: This is a styling tool that is applied to the middle of the jacket, which is set to increase the shape of your waist. Most tailors will apply this method to the jacket in order to help you achieve that structural ‘V’ shape to the torso, where the shoulders are broad and the waist narrows in until it reaches the hips again.
