im 5"4 and 85lb. I am pretty skinny and have skinny arms and legs and I need a good fit plain dress shirts for grad. Looking for something with good quality. Boys sizes are often either way too short and the larger sizes are too wide. Not looking to tailor but if there are any good custom made shirt places I would take a look. Just looking for some stores that would carry my size. Also if there are any places that have pants my waist size is 26". Also need shoes my size is 6.5 and nice dress belts
Thanks

Needless to say, you'll have a very hard time finding anything that fits you off the rack without substantial alterations. I have a hard enough time finding ready to wear trousers for a 30" waist--never mind 26". What is your budget?

Anything really to fit me well. I just don't want to tailor but rather I would custom make it. Want to try modern tailor and their trial shirt

I don't have any personal experience with Modern Tailor but yes, I think you will probably be best off going custom for shirts and trousers. Having going through this experience with Luxire, I'd suggest that you find a maker to whom you can send well-fitting garments for them to replicate. Taking body measurements doesn't really capture all of the idiosyncrasies of your body (e.g. for shirts: shoulder slope, do you have forward shoulders or a forward-pitched neck, erect vs hunched posture, etc).

If you don't have a shirt that fits you well, I'd strongly recommend that you invest some money up front to get a shirt made by a tailor in person, or have a ready to wear shirt altered to fit you first. Then you can send it in to your online maker of choice. In the long run this will likely save you money as you won't have to make nearly as many adjustments to your first few shirts.
