THE PROCESS
-
Step 1: optional phone consultation
You have the option of booking a “quick and free phone consultation” or a “fabric viewing appointment,” both of which are non-committal and allow you to browse and ask any questions you might have before getting fitted.
-
Step 2: The First Fitting & Design
This is where we really get into it. Before the fitting we will discuss your fit needs, style preferences, and how you want to present, as well as browse swatches. We will then proceed with your fitting, pinning and tucking our way toward fit perfection! Finally we will discuss all the other design details—linings, buttons, contrast colors, lapels etc. This one-on-one session will take approximately 2 hours.
-
Step 3: The Second Fitting
4-6 weeks later we will meet again for a second fitting in your newly made custom wedding suit! (Note: if you choose to go with full bespoke there are more steps in between!). In this session we will make sure the garment/s fit exactly as we had planned. If we think some minor alterations still need to be made, no problem—it will only take 7-10 days from the date of your second fitting to make these changes.
-
Step 4: The Final Look
If alterations have been made then we’ll meet one last time for Melissa to hand over your garment/s and have a final look before you take everything home!

LEARN ABOUT OUR SERVICES
Why should you choose us to make your custom suit or tuxedo?
-
Because we offer a wealth of tailoring and design experience. Melissa, our founder and head designer, has fit and design in her blood. Since she was a teenager she has had her own prominent line of sewing patterns. She has also worked in the NY fashion industry as a designer for the last 12 years, 8 of which have been spent in the custom suiting business. She knows how to fit and design to unique bodies better than anyone.
-
Because we don’t take half measures at Watson Ellis. We stand by the quality of every garment that leaves our studio. To us, designing and manufacturing custom clothing is not just our business, it’s our passion. We are perfectionists. That’s not to mention that the cost / quality ratio of our custom suits is better than that of any other custom company in NYC.
-
Because when you come to Watson Ellis for your wedding suit you can be assured that you will emerge with something that is truly unique and of the highest quality. Our ‘true custom’ approach means we offer endless design and fit options. We are not limited to suiting templates, as most other companies in the industry are. Instead we have both the skills and capacity to take your garments wherever they need to go in terms of design and fit.
