Women’s Custom Skirt Suit in Pinstripe Wool

$719.00 USD

The problem with most skirt suits is not how they look standing still. It is the skirt creeping up as you walk and clinging to tights when you sit. This custom skirt suit is cut to your measurements in Super 120s pinstripe wool, with a peak lapel jacket and a fully lined pencil skirt that has a back slit and a grip waistband, so it stays where you put it. Prefer trousers or a different length? Just ask. Before we cut the wool, we send you a free test suit to try at home, and it is yours to keep.

Description

A Custom Skirt Suit With a Skirt That Stays Where You Put It

Ask women what goes wrong with a skirt suit and fit is rarely the first answer. It is the skirt creeping up the thighs with every step down a corridor, twisting round until the zip sits on one hip, and clinging to tights after an hour in a chair. By lunchtime you are tugging at the hem instead of listening. It happens so often that many women give up on skirt suits altogether.

Three things cause it, and this custom skirt suit is built against all three. An unlined wool skirt grips tights, so our skirt is fully lined in acetate, which slides over them. A straight skirt that is snug over the hips is pulled upward as the leg moves, so the pencil skirt is cut to your own hip measurement with room to stride, and a center back slit opens as you walk. A waistband that sits loose drifts round the body, so the 2-inch waistband is cut to your waist, lined in cotton and fitted with a grip on the inside that holds it, and your blouse, in place.

The jacket is a single-breasted three-button style with peak lapels, a canvas front and a darted waist, cut from the same Super 120s pinstripe wool as the skirt. It ends at the high hip, which is the length that lets a pencil skirt show its line instead of hiding it.

What Is a Skirt Suit?

A skirt suit is a women’s suit made of a tailored jacket and a matching skirt, cut from the same cloth so the two pieces read as one outfit. It is the skirt version of the trouser suit, and in French tailoring the same garment is simply called a tailleur. The classic form is exactly what this is: a single-breasted jacket over a knee-length pencil skirt, in a dark wool.

It sits at the formal end of business dress. Worn together, the jacket and skirt are appropriate for interviews, court, board meetings and formal daytime events. Worn apart, the jacket goes over dresses and trousers and the skirt goes under knitwear, which is why a good skirt suit is three outfits rather than one.


Pinstripe or Chalk Stripe: Which Is This?

This is a pinstripe. The two are easy to confuse and they say different things. A pinstripe is a very fine, sharp line, about the width of a pin, woven into a smooth worsted cloth. A chalk stripe is wider and softer at the edges, like a line drawn in tailor’s chalk, and usually sits on a brushed flannel.

Pinstripe
Crisp, precise and quiet from a distance. The stripe lengthens the body without drawing attention to itself, which is why it has been the standard business stripe for generations. This suit comes in gray, charcoal, navy and black with a light pinstripe, and in black with a dotted pinstripe.
Chalk Stripe
Bolder and warmer, and at its best in autumn and winter flannels. It makes a stronger statement, and on a skirt suit it can look heavier than a pinstripe. For a suit worn year-round to work, the pinstripe is the more useful choice.

Where a Skirt Suit Still Wins: Interviews, Court and the Boardroom

A trouser suit is accepted almost everywhere now, but in conservative settings a dark skirt suit is still read as the most formal choice a woman can make. If you are interviewing at a law firm, appearing in court or presenting to a board, these are the rules that still apply.

1
Keep the hem at the knee or just above it
Order the length with this in mind, and remember a skirt rides higher when you sit. Sit down in front of a mirror in your test suit and look at the hem from the height of someone across a table.
2
Choose navy, charcoal or black
Dark pinstripes are the most conservative colors and hide the creases of a long day. Gray is right for most offices but reads slightly softer.
3
Wear sheer tights in the most formal rooms
A skin tone or black is the traditional choice for court and interviews. The acetate lining lets the skirt slide over them rather than catch.
4
Button the jacket when you stand
Undo it when you sit. A jacket cut to your measurements lies flat either way, with no pulling across the buttons.

Your Options: Length, Trousers and Lining

The skirt is cut to the length you ask for, so a tall woman gets a skirt that reaches her knee and a petite woman is not wearing a midi by accident. If you would rather have trousers instead of the skirt, or a different skirt length, write it in the comment box on the measurement form and we will cut it that way at the same price. Choose your lining from 30+ lining options.

Price: $719, same for every stripe Production time: 3 to 4 weeks for the test suit, 3 to 4 weeks for the final suit Delivery: 5 to 10 days after dispatch Care: Dry clean only


Free Test Suit: Walk, Sit and Climb Stairs in It First

Before we cut your wool, we make the whole suit in cotton, to your measurements, and send it to you. Do not just stand in front of the mirror. Walk the length of a corridor, sit for ten minutes, take the stairs and reach for a high shelf. Tell us if the skirt moves, if the jacket pulls or if the length is wrong, and we correct the pattern before the final suit is cut. The test suit is yours to keep.

Your test suit takes 3 to 4 weeks to make and arrives 5 to 10 days after dispatch. Once you confirm the fit, your final suit takes 3 to 4 weeks to make and arrives 5 to 10 days after dispatch.

Not sure how to measure yourself? Our women’s body measuring guide walks through each measurement, and the women’s suit fit guide shows what a correct fit looks like.

Questions About This Custom Skirt Suit

Q. What is a skirt suit?
A. A skirt suit is a women’s suit made of a tailored jacket and a matching skirt cut from the same cloth. It is the formal alternative to a trouser suit, worn for interviews, court, business meetings and formal daytime events. The classic version, like this one, pairs a single-breasted jacket with a knee-length pencil skirt.
Q. What is a women’s suit with a skirt called?
A. A women’s suit with a skirt is called a skirt suit, and sometimes a skirted suit. In French tailoring it is known as a tailleur. When the jacket and skirt are sold separately in the same cloth, they are called suit separates.
Q. Why does my suit skirt ride up when I walk?
A. A suit skirt rides up for three reasons: it is unlined and grips your tights, it is tight over the hips so each step pulls it upward, or the waistband is loose and lets it drift. A fully lined skirt, cut with enough ease over the hips, with a slit for walking room and a waistband that fits your waist, stays in place. This skirt addresses all four.
Q. What is the difference between a pinstripe and a chalk stripe?
A. A pinstripe is a very fine, sharp line on a smooth worsted wool, while a chalk stripe is wider and softer at the edges, like a line drawn in tailor’s chalk, and usually appears on flannel. A pinstripe looks crisper and more understated, which makes it the more versatile choice for a skirt suit worn to work year-round. This suit is a pinstripe.
Q. Is a skirt suit or a pantsuit better for a job interview?
A. Both are acceptable, but in conservative fields such as law, finance and government, a dark skirt suit is still read as the most formal option. Choose the one you feel most confident in. If you choose a skirt suit, keep the hem at the knee or just above, choose navy, charcoal or black, and check how the skirt looks when you sit.
Q. How long should the skirt of a skirt suit be?
A. For work, the skirt should end at the knee or just above it. Remember that a pencil skirt rises about two inches when you sit, so if it looks right standing at mid-knee it will still look right seated. Give us the length you want on the measurement form, and confirm it in the test suit before the final one is cut.
Q. Do I need to wear tights with a skirt suit?
A. Tights are not required in most offices today, but sheer tights in a skin tone or black are still expected in the most formal settings, such as some courtrooms and interviews. With tights, a lined skirt matters: this skirt is fully lined in acetate, so it slides over them instead of clinging.
Q. Can I wear a pinstripe skirt suit to a wedding?
A. Yes, as a guest at a daytime or city wedding, a navy or gray pinstripe skirt suit looks sharp and appropriate, especially with a silk blouse and lighter accessories. For evening weddings, a black suit with a satin lining in a bright color works well. Avoid it for very casual or beach weddings, where wool feels too formal.
Q. Can I order trousers instead of the skirt, or a different skirt length?
A. Yes, write it in the comment box on the measurement form. We will cut trousers in the same pinstripe wool instead of the skirt, or the skirt at any length you ask for, at the same price.
Q. Can I wear the jacket and skirt separately?
A. Yes, and that is where much of the value is. The jacket works over a plain dress or dark trousers, and the skirt pairs with fine knitwear or a silk blouse. Because both pieces are dark pinstripe wool, they combine easily with what you already own.
Q. How much does this custom skirt suit cost?
A. This skirt suit is $719 for the jacket and skirt, the same price in every stripe and the same if you choose trousers instead. The price includes a free cotton test suit that is yours to keep, so the fit is checked before the wool is cut.
Q. How long does it take to receive my suit, and do you ship internationally?
A. Your test suit takes 3 to 4 weeks to make and arrives 5 to 10 days after dispatch. Once you confirm the fit, your final suit takes 3 to 4 weeks to make and arrives 5 to 10 days after dispatch. Both ship worldwide with tracking, and if you need it for an interview or a date, order as early as you can.
