Prom tux trouser suit for dd

16 replies

VenusClapTrap · 25/03/2026 19:41

Dd(15) has her prom in June. She doesn’t wear dresses, and has decided she wants a trouser suit. Any suggestions of where to find something appropriate? I was hoping Disturbia might have something, as she’s already got a lovely suit from there (but wants a new one for the prom 🙄), but there’s not much on there at the moment.

A lot of women’s tux type suits seem to be velvet, but that will be too hot in June. She doesn’t want anything too fitted, no bright colours, not navy because her school uniform is navy, and doesn’t like ‘flappy’ trousers - so no wide leg styles.

Ideally she’d like something a bit more interesting than bog standard plain black with satin lapels that the boys will all be wearing. She likes ties and waistcoats.

There are some suits on Etsy that look ok, but it’s hard to tell if they are decent quality.

Any suggestions gratefully received as googling ‘women’s prom tux’ isn’t coming up with much!

That’s a lovely suit! She won’t wear pink though unfortunately.

You could open it up and buy a men’s one and get a seamstress to fit it to dd. Matalan used to sell them reasonably priced.

I wouldn't normally either, but I saw a woman I know wear a very similar suit to an event and she looked fantastic. She normally would not be into 'girlie' colours.

There's also this very cute short suit set, but I don't know if she would be into that. It certainly would be different from traditional pro outfits!

I gave the wrong link above... this was the short set.

I love the diamante blazer set!

The short set is a no no because she doesn’t like anything cropped, and won’t wear a skirt. The diamanté suit is too bling - she isn’t a sequins and sparkles kind of person. She likes to look quite androgynous, in a Cate Blanchett sort of way. I’ve bought teenage boys clothes for her in the past, as they fit her skinny frame and tick most of her boxes, but was hoping to find something a bit more stylish as it’s a special occasion.

Refreshing for a girl to not want to wear a prom dress. More should be their own person and not feel they have to wear a dress. Hope your DD finds a suit she loves for her prom.

VenusClapTrap · 27/03/2026 13:26

Thanks. These are all a bit too colourful/bling/sparkly. Her style is more understated/ androgynous, with a slight dash of quirky.

https://www.sumissura.com/en-uk/women/women-tuxedo/personalize/?menu=m_clothing - this site came up when I searched women's tuxedos. Don't know your budget or time frame, but looks like you can design your own - with a 3 week wait

VenusClapTrap · 28/03/2026 22:53

Thanks for these new suggestions. I’ll show her that design your own website - I think she’d like that idea. The navy three piece suit is lovely, but very similar to her school uniform, which she does actually really like!
