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.

A Women’s Fresco Wool Suit, Cut to Your Measurements
Almost all the fresco wool suits you will find online are cut for men, and the few made for women are sold in standard sizes. Fresco is worth looking for: the yarns are twisted hard and woven open, so the cloth breathes, feels crisp and shakes off creases from sitting, commuting or a long flight.
This women’s fresco performance suit is cut from a Super 130s fresco of 70% wool and 30% polyester: a single-button jacket with slim notch lapels over tapered, flat-front trousers. Both pieces are made to your measurements, and you wear a free cotton test suit at home before the fresco is cut.
Fresco, 70% wool Super 130s Crease resistant Single button Free test suit
Price: $699 for jacket and trousers Cloth: Super 130s fresco, 70% wool and 30% polyester Lining: jacket fully lined, lining chosen in the selector Fit: slim, standard or relaxed in the selector Test suit: free, yours to keep Care: dry clean
Free Test Suit
Tapered Trousers Need the Most Fitting
A slim, tapered trouser is the hardest part of a women’s suit to fit from a size chart. When the hip is smaller than the chart expects, cloth gathers in folds below the seat; when the hip is fuller at the back with a flatter front, the trousers pull at the back and stand away in front. On the test suit we take out or add room exactly where your body needs it, and on the jacket we keep the single button where the front lies flat over the bust.
Sometimes the cleanest fix would change the look, such as an extra dart in the jacket front. We explain the trade-off, and you choose between the fit that follows your body exactly and the style in the photos exactly.
1
Choose the fresco and lining
Pick the cloth color and lining in the selector, then your fit and measurements, with the trouser length you want: full or at the ankle, as in the photos.
2
Your cotton suit arrives first
Jacket and trousers are cut in cotton to your measurements in 3 to 4 weeks and reach you 5 to 10 days after dispatch.
3
Walk, sit and climb a stair
A tapered trouser shows any fault at the seat and thigh, so check those first, then the jacket’s single button at the waist and the trouser hem with the shoes you will wear.
4
The fresco is cut
Your corrections are applied, the final suit is made in 3 to 4 weeks and arrives 5 to 10 days after it ships. The cotton suit is yours to keep.
Fresco vs Tropical
What Is Fresco Wool, and How Is It Different From Tropical Wool?
Fresco
High-twist yarns, often two or three plied together, woven in an open plain weave. Crisp, porous and very crease resistant, with a slightly dry, textured hand.
Tropical wool
Finer, lower-twist yarns in a closer plain weave. Smoother and softer against the skin, light and cool, but it creases a little more than fresco.
This suit
Super 130s fresco of 70% wool and 30% polyester. The wool brings breathability and drape; the polyester adds strength and crease recovery, at the cost of breathing a little less than pure wool.
Which to choose
Fresco for travel, long days and heat with movement; tropical wool for the softest, lightest feel.
If you want the smoother of the two, see our women’s tropical wool pantsuit. In our experience, cheaper suits give out in two ways: the cloth fades or roughens in the weather, and the construction lets the shoulders and front slip out of shape. A firm fresco on a canvas front avoids both.
The Cloths
The Fresco, Up Close
These are close-up photos of the actual cloth, so you can see the open weave and the texture of the fresco before you choose. Choose your color in the selector; here are four of the shades on offer.
Gray
The nearest shade to the suit in the photos; for a light gray fresco suit, look in the selector.
Charcoal
Darker and more formal for meetings and interviews.
Navy
The easiest suit color to wear year-round.
Black
A black suit that wears cooler than most.
The Cut
A Single-Button Jacket With Slim Notch Lapels
Single button at the natural waist
A long, lean front line that marks the waist even when the jacket is open.
Slim notch lapels
Two to two and a quarter inches wide, narrower than a classic lapel, for a modern line.
Piped hip pockets and a chest welt pocket
Flat pockets with no flaps, so the crisp fresco stays smooth over the hips.
Center vent and working cuffs
A center vent for movement and four kissing buttons on real buttonholes at each sleeve.
Tapered flat-front trousers
Slanted front pockets, a plain back and a leg that narrows to the ankle.
The same fresco is used for our women’s red blazer, if you want a fresco wool blazer in a strong color to wear with these trousers.
How to Wear It
One Fresco Suit, Several Ways to Wear It
As a suit
With a fine knit or a striped top, as in the photos, and heels: polished without being stiff.
For travel
Fresco shrugs off creases, so the suit can be worn on the flight and to the meeting.
The jacket alone
Over jeans or a skirt, as a fresco wool jacket for weekends.
The trousers alone
With a sweater or shirt; the ankle length shows a good shoe.

Questions & Answers
Questions About the Women’s Fresco Suit
Q. What is fresco?
A. Fresco is a cloth woven from very high-twist yarns in an open plain weave; the name comes from the Italian for fresh. Air passes straight through it, it feels crisp and dry, and it springs back from creases, which is why it is a classic travel and warm-weather cloth.
Q. Is this suit 100% wool?
A. No. It is a Super 130s fresco of 70% wool and 30% polyester. The polyester adds strength and crease recovery; the wool keeps it breathable.
Q. Fresco or tropical wool: which is cooler?
A. Both are warm-weather cloths. Fresco breathes through its open weave and resists creases more; tropical wool feels smoother and softer. For a smoother summer cloth, see our tropical wool pantsuit.
Q. Does fresco feel rough?
A. It has a dry, slightly textured hand compared with smooth worsted. The trousers are lined at the front to the knee, and the lining can run to the hem if you prefer.
Q. Is it good for travel?
A. Yes. The high-twist yarn springs back, so most creases drop out after a night on a hanger; it can be worn on the flight and to the meeting.
Q. Will I be cold in an air-conditioned office?
A. Less than you would expect. Fresco is light but not thin, and the fully lined jacket adds warmth indoors while the open weave keeps you comfortable outside in the heat.
Q. Can I change details such as the lapel, buttons or trouser leg?
A. Yes. Use the comment box of the measurement form, or email us with your order number. A wider lapel, two buttons, flap pockets or a straight leg are all possible.
Q. Can I order only the jacket or the trousers?
A. Ask through the Ask a question about this piece form below Add to Cart. We will confirm what can be made in the fresco you choose.
Q. I have no tailor nearby. How do I measure?
A. A helper makes it easier. Alone, measure bust, natural waist, hips, trouser waist, thigh and ankle, then a jacket and trousers that fit you well; we can guide you by video call or WhatsApp.
Q. Can I see the fresco first?
A. Yes. Our swatch service sends up to four samples of about 2 by 4 inches. They usually arrive within 4 to 6 business days. Quote product number 2600011 and the colors you want to compare; the courier fee is credited toward your first order.
Q. How long will the fresco suit take?
A. Allow 3 to 4 weeks to make the cotton test suit and 5 to 10 days for it to arrive. The fresco suit then takes 3 to 4 weeks and arrives 5 to 10 days after it ships.
Q. How do I care for it?
A. Hang it after wearing so the yarn can recover, and brush it now and then. Dry clean only when it needs it.

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.
