Tailored suit for a woman

maggiemay33 · January 2012

Hello All,

My partner would like to have a beautiful suit for our wedding but is having trouble finding something and finding a good tailor. I think she wants something a degree above like a JCrew or Banana Republic suit. We are in DC and she has looked for custom made suits but they all seem to men's suits and she would prefer a women's suit or a custom suit made for a woman, not a men's suit tailored for her.

Just wondering if anyone else has any suggestions or tips! Thanks!

Thanks! I've seen this, but it's good to revisit. Resources seem slim!

I understand your frustration. Unfortunately, since both of us wore wedding dresses, I have no personal experience.

Dangerous Mathematicians does wedding suits for women if your fiancee is willing to come to New York for fittings.

@dangerous... She has actually talked about going to NYC to find a suit. I will mention this to her. Thanks so much!

Thanks Dangerous. My daughter & cousin need suits made for my wedding. How can I reach them?

My wife got her custom suit from Mr. Neds in New York City. I highly recommend them.

I still think its easier to find a decent fitting mens suit for cheap and then spend more money on tailoring. Thats what I did. If she doesnt want to look femanine, thats the best way. All the womens suits I found were too femanine for me.

Hi.. where did you see suits that were too feminine? I need to find a place to get 7 bridesmaids tux/suits that are sexy

Any help will be great.. Thanks

Same problem here, great topic. Hope to find one soon!

@2wifeys - I hope you do too! You'd think it would be less of a pain in the ass than it seems to be.

It is very frustrating trying to find non-traditional wedding wear for a female! We ended up piecing together a suit for my wife-to-be. We found a double-breasted tux jacket at White House-Black Market and dress slacks as Von Maur both are winter white and luckily match in color! We are in Iowa, so pickin's are slim. Good luck!

My sister and I are wearing suits from Victoria Secert . They are super cute and low cost. They have a plenty of colors too.
