SARTORIA FORMOSA - NAVY SINGLE BREASTED SUIT, 9/10 OZ MINNIS FRESCO WOOL (48R) - Beautiful Summer Navy Suit in Minnis Fresco Cloth

I purchased this suit from another member in this forum hoping that I would be able to tailor it to a 38S to use as my wedding suit. It didn't work out. The back was brought in about three inches to accommodate my smaller frame, the sleeves adjusted to my arm length (about two inches may be let out), the jacket shortened about 1.5 inches (any more and the button stance would look way off) and the pants hemmed to my liking. The jacket is still to big for me. I didnt want to remove any canvass...

this is tagged a 50R............your ad title states 48R. You may want to correct this.

Thank you for pointing this out. Perhaps this is why the suit didn't work out for me. The original seller/owner sold the suit to me and advertised here on the forum as a 48R. My apologies for the inconvenience.

Hi there,

There is some padding in the shoulder; the website below is where this suit was where this was purchased, and the shoulders are described as being "natural shoulder (spalla cadente morbida)."

No canvass was cut when I had it altered, but I did bring the back in (All the fabric remains to be let out).

I did not alter not eliminate any of the buttons on the slreeve.

The asking price is 800.00USD. Shipping is included as long as the asking price is met. And yes, I only go through PayPal. Please send me a PM if you're still interested.

Thanks,
