Suggestions of where to get suit

I need a trouser suit. I’m 6 ft. I like the Veronica Beard stuff but can’t justify spending 900 quid at the moment. Can anyone recommend trouser suits for tall women?

What's it for? Do you have a max budget? Any particular style e.g. do you want quite traditional masculine styling, or more feminine? Are you thinking straight black, or purple/teal?

At your height and if you aren't particularly fussed about cutting-edge tailoring, you could always buy a men's high street off-the-peg in a slim fit and have it tailored to fit you.

M&S. not necessarily at the cutting edge of fashion, but I'm 5'9" and most only need a regular leg length there. They do long and extra long in most styles.

Budget is 500, could go a bit more. It’s for Oxbridge dinner and formal occasions. I suit masculine tailoring

A proper tux? Awesome. I would absolutely love to a have a feminine take on a tux outfit to wear for formal occasions. I'm 5'2" though so fewer options open to me.

I'd probably go with buying a men's one and tailoring it in your shoes, tbh. Maybe going for a woman's fit on the tuxedo shirt, which should be a lot easier to find.

I am tall, and have suits from The Fold - their trousers are very long, and have a good hem which can be let down
