on a students tight budget its a good deal. you can be picky later when you are a big shot. you might try on garments at a local store to find out what size to order.

I bought this same suit and have posted it at some time last year . I had to get it slimmed down quite a bit and I'm going to wear it starting next month again. I'm going to have the skirt shortened 0.5"-1" and the quarters opened, maybe the sleeved slimmed a bit more yet. For $100 for the suit, you can't go wrong for a summer workhorse in CA.

I wore the suit today and will post pics of my outfit later tonight so you can see the suit again. Total cost of my outfit in the first pic:

Target Merona suit: $150 (its a 3 piece)
Shirt: Jantzen $42
Tie: Joseph A. Bank $15
Shoes: Crockett and Jones Hallam (gift, but $300 and some change)
Pocket Square: Joseph A. Bank linen ($15 for 3)


I went to my local target last night to investigate the Merona black suit and I found the jacket was much longer than what I liked (I like to be at least an inch and a half past my sleeves). Anyone think an alteration can be done to shave at least almost 2 inches from the bottom of the jacket to reach my desired length?

I like the cut of the suit you wore tonight, generally I feel it suits you good choice!
