How to Measure Your Desired Trouser Inseam
Measure from the highest point of the crotch down the inside of your leg to the same hem point used for the trouser length measurement.
Women’s Measuring Guide
How to Take Your Own Measurements for a Perfect Fit
All you need is a flexible measuring tape, a mirror, and ideally a friend to help with the shoulder and back measurements. Wear close-fitting clothing so the tape sits against your body, stand naturally with your weight even on both feet, and keep the tape level and snug with room for one finger. Below is every measurement we may ask for. You do not have to get each number perfect: we send a free test garment before cutting your final cloth, so the fit is confirmed on your body first.

Questions & Answers
Frequently asked questions about measuring yourself
How do I measure my bust, waist and length for a custom garment?
Use a flexible tape. For the bust, wrap it around the fullest part with the tape level. For the waist, measure the narrowest part, usually just above the belly button. For length, measure from the shoulder or natural waist down to your desired hem. Keep the tape level and snug with room for one finger, and measure over close-fitting clothing rather than bulky layers.
How do I measure my waist, hips, thighs and rise?
Measure the waist at the narrowest point, the hips around the widest part of your hips and seat, and the thigh around the fullest part of the upper leg. For the rise, sit down and measure from the front of your natural waist, down between your legs to the seat. Keep the tape level and snug throughout.
Where can I get my measurements taken?
Any local tailor or seamstress can take your measurements in a few minutes, and many fabric or bridal shops offer measuring too. You can also measure yourself at home with a flexible tape using this guide, or have a friend help with the back and shoulder measurements. Because we send a free test garment before cutting your final cloth, the fit is confirmed on your body regardless of who takes the first measurements.
What do I need to measure myself?
Just a flexible measuring tape, a mirror, and ideally a friend to help with the shoulder and back measurements. Wear close-fitting clothing so the tape sits against your body, and stand naturally with your weight even on both feet.
How tight should the measuring tape be?
Snug but not tight. The tape should sit flat against your body with just enough room to slip one finger underneath. Pulling it too tight gives measurements that are too small, and leaving it loose makes the garment baggy.
What if my measurements are not perfect?
That is exactly why we send a free test garment. Give us your best measurements, and we build a test version in a stand-in cloth to your numbers and ship it to you. You try it on, we adjust from there, and nothing is cut in your final fabric until the fit is confirmed.

Most tuxedos for women are rented for a night or bought as a sixty to three hundred dollar set: a black jacket with a strip of polyester satin on the lapel and stretch trousers. Look at a men’s dinner jacket from a tailoring house and the difference is in the details, and those details are what this women’s bespoke tuxedo keeps.
It is menswear-inspired in its construction, not cut like a man’s jacket: wide wing peak lapels faced in silk satin, satin-covered flaps and buttons, roped shoulders and trousers with buckle side adjusters, all built on a woman’s measurements from a Super 130s cloth of 98% merino wool and 2% cashmere. You try a free cotton test suit at home before the cloth is cut.

Price: $699 for jacket and trousers Cloth: Super 130s, 98% merino wool and 2% cashmere Facings: black silk satin Lining: jacket fully lined, lining chosen in the selector Fit: slim, standard or relaxed in the selector Test suit: free, yours to keep
Free Test Suit
Strong Shoulders and Wide Lapels Leave No Room for Guesswork
A tuxedo with roped shoulders and four to five inch lapels shows its fit at the top. Few people have the same shape at the front and back of the shoulder, and the wider the lapel, the more any pull across the bust bends it out of line. These are the points we correct most often on a women’s test suit, along with the waist suppression, and the buttons are kept close enough to stop the front gaping when you sit.
Some corrections would change the look, such as an extra dart beside the satin lapel. When that happens we explain the trade-off and you decide whether the tuxedo follows your body exactly or the style in the photos exactly.
1
Choose the cloth and lining
Pick the tuxedo cloth and lining in the selector, then your fit and measurements, with the trouser length for the shoes you will wear on the night.
2
A cotton tuxedo is made first
Jacket and trousers are cut in cotton to your measurements; they take 3 to 4 weeks to make and arrive 5 to 10 days after dispatch.
3
Stand, then raise your arms
Roped shoulders sit high and square, so check the shoulder width in a mirror first, then that the wide lapel lies flat over the bust when buttoned and that the jacket does not lift when you raise your arms.
4
Your tuxedo is cut
Every correction goes into the pattern, the tuxedo is made in 3 to 4 weeks and arrives 5 to 10 days after it ships. Keep the cotton version.
Menswear Details
The Menswear Tuxedo Details, Kept for Women
Wing peak lapels in silk satin
Four to five inches wide with a rounded, swept peak. Faced in real silk satin, which has a deeper, softer sheen than polyester satin.
Satin-covered flaps and buttons
The hip pocket flaps, the ticket pocket flap and every button are covered in the same black silk satin, so nothing on the front is plain plastic.
Roped shoulders
The sleeve head is raised slightly at the shoulder seam for a strong, defined line.
Hand pick-stitching
Small hand stitches along the collar, lapels and pocket flaps keep the edges crisp.
Buckle side adjusters
No belt loops: the waist is adjusted at the sides, so nothing breaks the line under the jacket.
In our experience the cheaper tuxedos we are asked to replace fail in the same order: the cloth goes shiny and loses its color, then the front collapses because nothing holds it. A canvas front and a merino cloth are why this one keeps its shape.
The Cloths
Merino and Cashmere, Up Close
These are close-up photos of the actual cloth. The tuxedo in the photos is black; the same merino and cashmere comes in other dark shades for an evening suit that is not a classic tuxedo. Choose your color in the selector; here are four of the shades on offer.
Black
The traditional tuxedo color, shown in the photos.
Charcoal
A softer evening shade, still formal with black satin.
Gray
For a daytime wedding tuxedo.
Petrol Blue
A deep blue-green that pairs well with black satin.
Every Angle
The Tuxedo From the Front, Side and Back
The jacket
Wide satin peak lapels, satin-covered flaps on the hip and ticket pockets, satin-covered buttons.
Side profile
The roll of the satin lapel and the ticket pocket sitting above the hip pocket.
Back
The back of the jacket and the clean line of the tapered trousers.
Shopping for a menswear inspired blazer, women often ask for a suit jacket side view: here the satin lapel rolls to the button, and the ticket pocket sits just above the hip pocket, as on a classic dinner jacket.
Where to Wear It
A Women’s Wedding Tuxedo, Black Tie and Beyond
Your own wedding
A women’s wedding tuxedo in black or gray, with a silk blouse or nothing under the jacket.
Black tie
With a white shirt and a bow tie, or an open collar as in the photos.
Galas and dinners
The jacket alone over a slip dress or wide trousers.
As a suit
In charcoal or petrol blue it reads as a formal womens tuxedo suit rather than strict evening wear.
Hip pockets and a ticket pocket with satin-covered flaps, chest welt pocket, two interior pockets
Back and sleeves
Center back vent; four-button working cuffs, buttons spaced apart
Buttons
Covered in black silk satin, hand-stitched and reinforced

Questions & Answers
Questions About the Women’s Bespoke Tuxedo
Q. What makes this a tuxedo and not a black suit?
A. The satin: silk satin facings on the lapels, satin-covered flaps and buttons, and trousers with side adjusters instead of belt loops. A suit has none of these.
Q. Is it a men’s tuxedo resized?
A. No. It keeps menswear details but is cut for a woman’s body from your measurements, with the bust, waist and hips fitted on the test suit.
Q. Are the lapels real silk?
A. Yes. The lapels, pocket flaps and buttons are covered in black silk satin.
Q. Can I wear it to my own wedding?
A. Yes. Black suits an evening wedding; gray or charcoal suits a daytime one.
Q. Can I add a satin stripe to the trousers or change the lapel?
A. Yes. Write it in the comment box on the measurement form when you order, or email us with your order number. A satin stripe, a shawl collar or a single button are all changes we make.
Q. Should I rent or buy a women’s tuxedo?
A. A rental is cut for an average body and returned the next day. A tuxedo made to your measurements fits from the first wearing and is yours for every event after.
Q. Is it warm?
A. Merino with a little cashmere is a year-round cloth: comfortable indoors in summer and warm enough for winter evenings.
Q. No tailor near you?
A. Ask someone to help measure if you can. If not, take your bust, natural waist, hips, trouser waist, thigh and ankle, then measure a jacket and trousers that fit you; we guide you by video call or WhatsApp.
Q. How long does it take?
A. The cotton test suit is made in 3 to 4 weeks and arrives 5 to 10 days after dispatch; the tuxedo is then made in 3 to 4 weeks and arrives 5 to 10 days after it ships.
Q. How do I care for it?
A. Dry clean only and rarely. Keep the satin away from perfume and deodorant, and hang the jacket on a broad hanger to support the roped shoulders.

Women’s Suit Fit Guide
Choosing the right fit is essential in creating your custom suit. It determines the silhouette and how your test garment will feel before final tailoring.
Slim Fit
Streamlined and tapered for a sleek silhouette. The jacket is closely fitted through the shoulders, chest, and waist, with narrower sleeves and higher armholes. Pants sit at the waist and follow a slim line through the hips and thighs, with a narrow leg opening.
Best for: A lean frame or those who prefer a sharply tailored, body-contouring look.
Standard Fit
Softly tailored for a balanced, classic silhouette. The jacket offers gentle shaping at the waist with a natural fit through the shoulders and chest. Sleeves are slightly tapered with standard armholes. Pants sit comfortably at the waist with a straight fit through the hips and thighs and a moderate leg opening.
Best for: An average build or anyone seeking a versatile, comfortable fit for business or everyday wear.
Relaxed Fit
Designed with extra ease for all-day comfort. The jacket has a looser cut through the shoulders, chest, and waist, with fuller sleeves and lower armholes. Pants offer a relaxed fit from waist to hem, with added room in the hips, thighs, and leg opening for easy movement.
Best for: Those who prioritize comfort or prefer a roomier silhouette, particularly around the waist and shoulders.
Women’s Suit Fit Guide
How a Woman’s Suit Should Fit
A suit is judged in seconds and worn for hours, so the fit has to be right in both senses: sharp enough to command a room, and comfortable enough to sit, reach, and move all day. The good news with a custom-made suit is that fit is not a gamble. There are no standard sizes to squeeze into, you tell us the fit you want and your measurements, and we cut the jacket and the trousers or skirt to your body. Before we cut your final cloth we send a free test garment, so the fit is confirmed on you first.
This guide explains the three fits we offer and the points to check so your suit sits the way you want it to.
Step One
Choose your fit
Slim Fit
Closely tailored through the waist and hips with a defined waist and a lean trouser or skirt line. The sharpest, most modern silhouette. Best if you like a body-skimming look and are comfortable with less ease.
Standard (Classic) Fit
Shaped and tailored, but with a little more ease through the body for comfort and movement. The most versatile choice and the one most people are happiest in, flattering without feeling restrictive.
Relaxed Fit
The most room through the body, with a softer, easier line and a straighter trouser. Ideal if you like to layer, prefer a contemporary oversized look, or simply want maximum comfort.
Step Two
The fit checkpoints
Shoulders
The seam sits right at the edge of your shoulder, where the arm meets the body, with no overhang and no pulling. This is the one line we cut precisely to you, because the shoulder is the hardest area to alter later.
Bust & chest
The jacket closes cleanly with no strain or gaping at the button and no pulling across the bust. A well-cut women’s jacket shapes around the bust rather than flattening or straining over it.
Waist
The jacket nips in at your natural waist for shape, closely on a slim fit, gently on a classic fit. You should be able to fasten it and still sit comfortably.
Length, sleeve & leg
The jacket ends around the top of the hip and the sleeve finishes at the wrist bone. Trousers break lightly at the shoe or skim to a clean ankle; a skirt sits at your chosen length. You choose all of these.
Every suit is made to your measurements with no standard sizing, in the fit you choose. A free test garment confirms the shoulders, bust, waist, and length on your body before your final cloth is cut, and the test garment is yours to keep.
Your Worries, Answered
The doubts most women have, and why you can relax
I have never bought a suit I could not try on first. How do I know it will fit?
Because you do try it on first. After you send your measurements, we make a free test garment in a stand-in cloth to those numbers and post it to you. You put it on at home, check the shoulders, bust, waist, and length, and send us your notes and a couple of photos. Only once you are happy do we cut your final cloth, so the finished suit is not a leap of faith, it is a fit you have already seen and approved on your own body.
I need this for a specific occasion and I am terrified it will not be right on the day.
Tell us the date when you order and we plan the whole timeline back from it, including the free test-garment stage, so there is time to confirm the fit and make any adjustments with room to spare. For a dated event, order as early as you can. Because you approve the fit on the test garment before the final suit is cut, you are not walking into your occasion hoping it fits, you already know it does.
I am nervous I will measure myself wrong.
You do not have to be perfect. Our guide walks you through each measurement, a friend or a local tailor can help with the tricky ones, and if you are unsure you can send your best numbers. The free test garment exists to catch any small error before it matters, we see the fit on your body and adjust, so an imperfect first measurement is completely normal and nothing to worry about.
I have always struggled to find suits that fit my body. Is this really for someone like me?
It is made for exactly you. The women who struggle most with off-the-rack, a fuller bust, a small waist, broad or narrow shoulders, a long or short torso, are the ones who benefit most, because we cut to your proportions instead of forcing you into a size. There is no shape that is wrong here; there are only your measurements.
My body is not a standard shape, one shoulder is higher, or I am fuller on top. Can you actually cut for that?
Yes. Custom-made is built for real bodies, not idealized ones. Note any asymmetry or particular concern in your order, or show us on the test garment, and we adjust the cut, a higher shoulder, a fuller bust, a shorter waist, and confirm it before the final cloth is touched. This is precisely what a bespoke process does that a size on a rack never can.
It is a lot to spend on something made just for me. What is my safety net?
Your safety net is that nothing final, and nothing costly, is cut until you have approved the fit on the free test garment. You are not paying for a gamble, you are paying for a suit whose fit you have already confirmed on your own body. And a well-made suit that actually fits gets worn for years, so the cost per wear is usually far lower than the compromise suits that sit unworn in the wardrobe.
What if the suit arrives and I am not happy with it?
The final suit is cut to the exact fit you signed off on the test garment, so surprises are rare by design. If anything still needs a tweak, the finished suit carries generous seam allowances so a local tailor can fine-tune it, and you can always contact us and we will help make it right. You are never left alone with a suit that does not work.
What if my weight changes before the event, or afterwards?
Take your measurements as close to the event as you can, and if your size shifts before we cut the final cloth we simply adjust to your new numbers. For afterwards, the finished suit is made with seam allowances so a local tailor can take it in or let it out within reason, and we keep your measurements on record for any future pieces.
