White Wedding Pant Suits for the Bride

White Bridal Tuxedos and why you should come to us if you are looking for one:

Lately I’ve had several clients come to me looking for a custom white bridal tuxedo or a white womens pant suits for weddings. It’s an incredible look when done right, and I’ve been so happy with how the ones we have created so far have turned out. But working with white fabrics is not always easy for a whole variety of reasons. I’m here to post about why I’m loving formal pant suits for bridal fashion right now, and why you should come to us if you are in the market for a white bridal tux.

What is a Tuxedo?

Typically white bridal tuxedos consist of a suit jacket and matching pants, but the pants might also be replaced by a skirt or shorts. The obvious reason to opt for a white bridal tux is because it offers a fresh and stylish alternative to the traditional wedding dress. Some of my recent clients have also chosen a white formal women’s pant suit as a second look for the reception; others have opted to wear it to their engagement parties or rehearsal dinners. That’s one of the amazing things about this look: It’s so versatile.

Working with white fabric, you have to know what you are doing:

As I mentioned above, though, working with white is not always easy. The designer / tailor has to know what they are doing to ensure the look doesn’t fall flat, or see through!

For one, you can’t just use any white wool because it can be really see through. Certain white wools drape poorly as well. At Watson Ellis we have curated a selection of white wools that do not present such issues. On a side note, we have also sourced the best white and ivory silk satin duchesse for the contrast fabric (which goes on the lapels, pocket welts and side stripe on the pants).

On top of the fabrics we use, we have also developed some tricks in construction that help to limit the opaque nature of white tuxedos. We’re going to stop short of broadcasting these trade secrets, but would be happy to discuss with any prospective clients if you’re interested to know how we do it.

We’re also experts at fitting women’s bodies in suits. That is especially important when it comes to anything white, and particularly a white women’s wedding suit.

As everyone knows, white garments can be the least forgiving and concealing. No matter the body shape or size, though, if the fit is great, the look can be amazing.

One last thing to keep in mind if you’re hunting for a white bridal tuxedo or white pant suits is that you should allow at least three months for the whole process. Most suits at Watson Ellis take approx 6-8 weeks from start to final delivery. But as I’ve mentioned, working with white is inherently a more complicated and involved process. Leaving some extra time will ensure that we get the tuxedo exactly right.
