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 Tan Wedding Suit for Women, Made in Time for the Date
A wedding suit for women has one job a work suit never has: it must be finished, fitted and in your hands before a date that will not move. Most tan suits for women sold online are ready-made sets in stretch blends, which leaves the fitting to a local alterations shop in the last weeks before the wedding.
This tan pantsuit for women is a modern bridal suit for the woman who would rather not wear a gown, cut from Super 140s tropical wool, 100% worsted at about 8 ounces, light enough for an outdoor ceremony in summer. A single-button jacket with a ticket pocket sits over tapered trousers, both made to your measurements, and you try the whole suit in cotton at home first.

Plan Your Date
Count Back From the Wedding Date
There are two stages, each with its own making and delivery time: the cotton test suit takes 3 to 4 weeks to make and arrives 5 to 10 days after dispatch, then the tan wedding suit takes another 3 to 4 weeks and arrives 5 to 10 days after it ships. Add the few days you need to try the test suit and send your notes, and keep a margin for courier delays before the date.
Order early
The sooner the test suit reaches you, the more time there is for a calm fitting.

Free Test Suit
Fitted Before the Day, Not in the Week Before
Bridal suits for wedding days are photographed from every side, so small faults show, and for a bride a wedding suit for women has to look right at every angle. The corrections we make most on women’s suits are the bust position and tension across the back, and, in the trousers, folds below a smaller seat or pulling over a fuller back hip. A single-button jacket also needs its button placed close enough to stop the front gaping when you move.
If the cleanest fix would change the style, such as a dart through the front, we explain it, and you choose between the fit that follows your body exactly and the look in the photo exactly.
1
Choose tan, or another shade
Pick the cloth and lining in the selector, then your fit and measurements, and the trouser length for your wedding shoes.
2
Your cotton suit is made
The test jacket and trousers take 3 to 4 weeks to make in cotton and reach you 5 to 10 days after dispatch.
3
Wear it as you will on the day
Put on the wedding shoes and the top you will wear under the jacket. Raise your arms as if for a first dance, sit, and hug someone: the jacket should stay closed at the waist and the shoulders should not pull.
4
The wedding suit is made
With your changes made, the tan suit takes 3 to 4 weeks and arrives 5 to 10 days after it ships. The cotton suit is yours.
Why Tan
Why a Tan Suit Works for a Wedding
Daylight
Tan glows in sun and garden light, where black looks heavy and white can glare in photos.
Season
An 8 ounce tropical wool breathes, so a tan suit for women works for beach, garden and city hall weddings from spring to early autumn.
After the wedding
Unlike a gown, the jacket and trousers can be worn again separately, with a white shirt or with jeans.
Who wears it
Brides, and also bridesmaids, mothers of the couple and guests who want a wedding suit for women instead of a dress.
Searching for khaki suits for women, many brides mean the same family of colors; khaki is greener, tan is warmer. If a khaki suit is what you had in mind, women usually find tan the more flattering of the two in wedding photos. In our experience, cheap tan suits fail where light colors are least forgiving: the cloth marks and fades, and loose construction lets the front lose its shape by the end of a long day.
The Cloths
Tropical Wool, Up Close
These are close-up photos of the actual cloth. Choose your color in the selector; here are four of the shades brides choose most.
Tan
The color in the photo: a warm, sandy tan.
Beige
Lighter and softer than tan, close to a stone color.
White
The traditional bridal color in a suit.
Light Gray
A cool alternative for a morning or winter wedding.
The Cut
A Single-Button Jacket With a Ticket Pocket
Single button at the natural waist
Marks the waist and keeps the front long; the suit reads as fitted even when open.
Ticket pocket
A small extra pocket above the hip pocket, a tailoring detail that sets the jacket apart from a plain blazer.
Ventless back
One clean line down the back, which photographs well from behind at the altar.
Notch lapels, brown horn buttons
Medium width lapels and warm horn buttons that suit the tan.
Tapered trousers

Questions & Answers
Questions About the Women’s Tan Wedding Suit
Q. Can a bride wear a suit?
A. Yes. Bridal suits and pantsuits have become a popular alternative to a gown, especially for civil, outdoor and destination weddings. A suit gives you freedom to move and pockets, and it can be worn again afterward.
Q. When should I order a wedding suit?
A. As early as you can. The cotton test suit takes 3 to 4 weeks to make plus 5 to 10 days for delivery, the wedding suit takes another 3 to 4 weeks plus delivery, and you need a few days in between to try the test suit.
Q. Is tan a good color for a bride?
A. Yes, especially for daytime, outdoor and beach weddings, where it photographs warmly in natural light. If you want a traditional bridal color, choose white in the selector.
Q. What color suit should a wedding guest avoid?
A. As a guest, avoid white and ivory, which belong to the bride, and check before wearing black to a daytime ceremony. Tan, navy and gray are safe choices for guests.
Q. Is the cloth too warm for a summer wedding?
A. No. It is an 8 oz tropical wool that breathes, which is why it suits warm-weather weddings.
Q. Can I change the details for my wedding?
A. Yes. Put it in the comment box of the measurement form, or email us with your order number. Satin lapels, a second button, a skirt instead of trousers or a wider leg are all possible.
Q. Will the suit look good in photos?
A. Tan photographs warmly in daylight. The ventless back keeps a clean line from behind at the altar, and the test suit lets you check the fit in a mirror before the day.
Q. Can bridesmaids order matching suits?
A. Yes. Each person orders with her own measurements and the same cloth; for a group, ask through the Ask a question about this piece form below Add to Cart.
Q. Can I wear it after the wedding?
A. Yes. It is finished as a wedding suit, but the jacket and trousers work separately for summer events and work afterward.
Q. Can I wear it with a veil or flowers?
A. Yes. A short veil, a flower on the lapel or a silk scarf, as in the photo, all suit the tan.
Q. Can I see the tan before I order?
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 2600007 and the colors you want to compare; the courier fee is credited toward your first order.
Q. How do I care for it after the wedding?
A. Have it dry cleaned before storing it. Keep it on a shaped hanger in a breathable bag and away from direct light, which fades light colors.

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.
