I just purchased a Valentino suit in dark blue, two-button,one-vent,with pants with one-pleat. IT defnitely has more of a pinched waist compared to American suits. I haven't received
it yet as is it getting altered but I was surprised how well it
fit me as usually I need to alter suits a lot as I would be shopping in the petite section for men if there was one.
Speaking of small, the salesperson kept mentionning to me that I needed to wear a suit with broad shoulders in order to
look bigger. It's funny because I am 5'5 but I am pretty athletic yet I can only wear size 36 or 38S suits. Slim pickings
for sure.
I hope to go to Asia where I might get a bigger variety or in Italy. However, North American stores seem not to care much for the Danny de Vito set. One day, I'll go the custom suit
route when I can afford it.
I now know what not to wear. I don't look at all in 3-button suits. 2-vent-suits are not for me as I have soccer player butt. Armani is DEFINITELY for me. I felt very sloppy in one.
