The Best Women's Tuxedos in NYC
So we've noticed lately that women's tuxedos have really become a thing, and we think it's totally awesome. We posted a little on this topic before, but it's one near and dear to our hearts so we're writing on it again.
There's nothing that says the Tux is, or should be, for men only. Women can look amazing in tuxedos! Bold, strong, chic and sophisticated.
Look No Further for Women’s Custom Tuxedos in NYC
It's high time we claimed the tuxedo as an androgynous outfit. To that end, we at Watson Ellis have been focusing a lot of our efforts lately on developing both our line of Tuxedo fabrics with women specifically in mind, and our methods of fitting feminine tuxedos on women's bodies of all shapes and sizes.
Unfortunately there are not a lot of options when it comes to custom female tuxedos, in NYC at least. A lot of custom tailors will tell women that they can fit for them, but in reality most of the custom suit companies in NYC are set up to cater to men and men's bodies only. They usually don't know how to fit either suits or tuxedos to women's bodies, which requires almost a totally different skill set to fitting for men; nor do they usually have fit / sizing tools for women, which means they're not taking into account bust measurements and missing the knowledge of how to fit to curves. Instead what they're typically doing is trying to squeeze women into men's fit tools and templates, which, in my experience, generally leads to pretty underwhelming outcomes.
At Watson Ellis, we are set up to fit and style for women, whether that's for a custom suit or tuxedo - and everything in between, from coats, to shirts, and custom pants. We know how to make garments for female bodies, taking into account all the places we typically curve and contour differently compared to men's bodies. As I alluded to above, in terms of styling for a women’s tux and suit, we have curated a selection of fabrics and design options (that basically means things like button and lapel types, for eg.) specifically for women.
