Those suits look great! (personally I like the slimness of the sleeves and everything) and the pants seem to fit incredibly well. Since you have curves there's looks to be a little more neckline gaping than ideal, but I think this and the slight snugness across chest can be adjusted on later suits with a slightly deeper fisheye dart and a small dart under the lapel, if it's not there already. Your tailor did very nice fit work and finishing and the price... well, everything is so close fit-wise it's really just a matter of tweeking it! When absolute, splurge on one (or 2) in some really, really good fabric and lining! The look is powerful!

I am new here, and it's great to see people embracing MTM & custom made.

Yeah, I gathered that when I read the prices most here pay for custom/MTM... I'm definitely going to get a few more suits from her before I head back to the states

they look better than my recent MTMs.


Hardly, but thank you... I'm a genuine fan of your style

Eh... I didn't really like the way it looked after all. I think I'm going to just keep it a two piece summer suit

Thank you very much for your advice I'll talk to her about all that during the first fitting this weekend with my next set of suits

looks pretty good overall
jacket does look a bit tight, but nothing that can't be adjusted on your next commission.
if you like your tailor, then thats all that matters

Don't take this the wrong way but I'm a bit bummed that you're wearing men's style suits. You'd look killer in a skirt!

haha yeah, the only way I'd wear a skirt is if a sugar daddy that's paying my rent and tuition asks me to

Seriously though, it's just not my style. The only time I show serious leg is in a bikini (which I live in during the summer months)

the cream suit does not... all my others do



Was this (the cream one) deliberate/do you use them? Can you illustrate a rear view without jacket to show how well it works - To judge by the views so far, it should be very good.

NO: The trousers. Don't jump to conclusions.

To see the fit of trousers all views are needed as you will see if you look through the archives here.
