    HOW DOES IT WORK?

    Making a custom women’s suit requires a thorough one-on-one fitting and design session at our Manhattan studio. This is by-appointment-only and unlike any shopping experience you have ever had. Read more about the process by following this link:

Some FAQs

  • Absolutely we can. We welcome everyone with open arms, and most importantly, we are experts at working with women of all shapes and sizes. We will not try to squeeze you into some uncomfortable template. We will listen to your body and shape unique pieces to it, because that's what everyone deserves when they come in for a custom garment, whether it’s a custom power suit, a white wedding tuxedo, a double breasted blazer, a tailored overcoat, or just a pair of wide leg trousers. In most cases when someone is a really unique fit, we will require a bespoke fitting process. Read more about that process and pricing on the How it Works page.

  • Our prices for a 2-piece suit start at $1860, and we have great options at all levels ranging upward from there. Price is a transparent discussion at Watson Ellis when you come in for an appointment. It really depends on the type of fabric, and we have thousands to choose from. It also depends on the type of fitting that you need and-or want — true custom or bespoke. We would urge you to visit both this blog post and our How it Works page for more details on both prices and fitting types.

  • No problem! As long as your specialty project is broadly in the same ballpark / family as the tailored suit, then we can definitely work with you. We have created lots of specialized garments in the past. Everything is made by hand, we don't use cookie-cutter processes. Sky is really the limit in terms of design. 

  • Suit care shouldn't be too intensive, nor should you dry clean it after each wear. Think of your new custom suit like you would your own hair: you don't want to dry it out or fry it. A steam and a press is often all you need, and an occasional dry clean should do the trick.

  • We ask to see you twice before you take home your new custom suit or tuxedo, at minimum. We are very committed to the final look of your garment, and hope that you can commit to this process as well. If you pursue the bespoke option (with a muslin or test garment), we would be talking about at least three visits.

  • We give you a 24 hour grace period to make any adjustments to your order, however after we submit design and fit to the factory, changes cannot be made to design as your pattern is crafted on the specifics of what you chose at your appointment.

  • Alterations are included when your suit first comes in up until the final fitting. We do not offer lifetime adjustments. Any alterations for future weight fluctuation can be done for you at current market rates. That being said, we will fit the suit to the body you have right now to perfection. And before making a second or third suit, we will of course check the fit of your previous WE suits and make any necessary updates to your pattern.

What’s it like to work with Watson Ellis?

Find out what our clients have to say!

Here’s the thing: women can’t just be squeezed into men’s sizing templates or men’s fabric and design styles. Women’s bodies are different, so is what they want from clothing and style, generally speaking. That’s why we devote an equal amount of time and energy (or maybe even a little more..) to the women’s side of our business as we do to the men’s. Melissa, our founder and designer, knows how to fit for women, she’s been doing it her whole life. She also spends a lot of time curating the best fabrics and design options for women’s tailored suits each NYC season.

We’ve got women’s custom clothing needs covered to a standard that no other company in NYC can match. We truly mean it. Book an obligation-free browsing appointment, or a full fitting appointment today —
