Check out this article in the Washington Post:</p> <p><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/22/AR2010032203598.html?sub=AR" rel="nofollow">http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/22/AR2010032203598.html?sub=AR</a></p> <p>I'm also LOVING dapperq.com for inspiration!</p> <p>:)</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/tailored-suits-for-women#post-696389 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 11:16:42 +0000 AprilBride10 696389@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>What size are you (and what body type)?&nbsp; I'm smaller (5'4) and pretty much straight up and down.&nbsp; For my body type, I find that the Hilfiger stores, JCrew's suits (mostly - some of their jackets aren't padded well), and Charles Tyrwhitt tends to have great fit.&nbsp; Otherwise, Brooks Brothers has lovely quality stuff, but you may want to take it in a bit - they tend to be slightly boxier.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/tailored-suits-for-women#post-696353 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 11:09:31 +0000 Dragonsus 696353@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>And it's always possible to get a man's suit tailored to a woman's body. Depending on your figures, JCrew has some great mens suits that are a more slim cut and can be easier to tailor.&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/tailored-suits-for-women#post-666196 Sat, 30 Jan 2010 14:14:11 +0000 Rocktsrgn 666196@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I don't really know, but check out Miss Stripes recent post - she did a couple about the awesome menswear-inspired womens wear that she was contemplating, <a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/2010/01/25/dear-hedi-slimane%E2%80%A6/">here</a> and <a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/2010/01/25/meet-me-in-the-mall/">here</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I know she's in LA, but her ultimate choices are available online.&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/tailored-suits-for-women#post-666156 Sat, 30 Jan 2010 13:48:46 +0000 kewlkalm 666156@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Hello My Wedding Bees,</p> <p>Does anyone have suggestions where to find tailored suits for women in NYC?</p>
