SuSu's shipping policy is for free returns, at least for suits. I've received one online-order suit from them - it came in a sturdy cardboard box which can easily be re-used for return shipping if the garment does not fit. They even provide return-address labels. So don't be afraid to order SuSu online.
Having said that, both I and others have found SuSu's stuff to wear just slightly on the small side. So err on the side of a larger fit if you're ordering online.
One other point to consider is that all SuSu suits and jackets come with working sleeve buttonholes. If the sleeves are way too short or long, they will need to be altered at the shoulder, which is impossible with windowpane patterns. So you might prefer to select a non-patterned fabric for your first purchase.
