alterable
This term describes a state of flexibility or susceptibility to change. It carries a neutral to positive connotation, suggesting that a situation, document, or object is not fixed or immutable. In legal or formal contexts, it often specifies the conditions under which a modification is permissible, contrasting with terms like "irrevocable" or "fixed."
When applied to textiles and fashion, the word refers specifically to the physical capacity of a garment to be resized or reshaped. This usage implies a practical utility, where the construction of the item allows for tailoring without destroying the original design or integrity of the piece.
