Summary

The author concludes that a professional tailor always alters a pattern to fit the wearer. Why? Because any tailor always alters a pattern to fit the wearer, unless the wearer’s measurements already match the pattern to begin with.

Note that the first sentence provides no support for the conclusion.

Missing Connection

The conclusion is about professional tailors, but the premise refers only to tailors more broadly. Also, the conclusion is that professional tailors always alter the pattern, no exceptions. But the premise allows for an exception: tailors in general alter the pattern unless the wearer’s measurements already match the pattern.The premise would lead to the conclusion if we knew that for professional tailors specifically, the exception never applies. That is, for a professional tailor, the wearer’s measurements never match the pattern.
