I'm getting married! Buy where can I get an amazing women's suit?

[thecoffeewasthething]

I want something like a Katherine Hepburn look, casually crisp, boxy, loose.

I am a size 14 pear shape, so certainly won't pull it off like her, but I still want to try.

Where can I get a decent women's suit? Made to measure would be amazing but I don't have the budget - hoping for circa £400.

Any ideas gratefully received!

Possibly not 'amazing', but some of the Zara trouser suits are very Hepburnesque.

I really like these but they are way over your budget

These are the jackets and matching trousers. I think the white especially would work well as a wedding outfit.

Thanks, these are places I wouldn't have looked!

This is lovely and is about the right price - with matching trousers. www.johnlewis.com/ghost-viola-wedding-suit-jacket-cloud-dancer/p5025053
Over budget, but looks good.

Only a thought but might hiring be an option?

A cheaper alternative to made to measure is to buy off the peg and then get it adjusted, buttons resewn etc a la Kate Middleton.

Take a look at Nancy Mac. I was going to get married in their velvet ivory jumpsuit but changed my mind and ordered the dress instead. Their customer service is outstanding and they are very well priced for bespoke.

Do you know anyone who can sew? Vogue do some amazing patterns but they are not for beginners.

Coast do a bridal trouser suit, currently have a sale on too. Trousers sold out in the 14 but Coast sizing comes up small and there is a 16?

MIL (similar size as you) recently bought a Coast trouser suit and it looks amazing, really beautifully made and fit.
In the interests of sharing the love, there was a fab thread recently where a poster said that Coast do bridal separates that you can overlay - there was a jumpsuit in that option. Just the best idea!
good luck OP 😊

Jigsaw may have something , new collection looks nice

Jigsaw do indeed have a nice white suit... and with 20% off!
