Finding a wedding suit as a feminine-presenting person is all about balancing style, comfort, and confidence. Whether you prefer a sleek, tailored look or something with a softer touch, here’s how to find the perfect suit:

1. Choose a Silhouette That Feels Right

Classic and Fitted – A tailored suit with a cinched waist and tapered trousers enhances a feminine shape while keeping a sharp look.
Soft and Flowing – Consider a wide-leg trouser suit or a long-line blazer for an elegant, effortless feel.
Cropped or Modern Styles – A cropped blazer or high-waisted trousers can add a stylish and contemporary touch.

2. Pick the Right Fabric and Colour

Lightweight, flowing fabrics like silk or crepe create a softer, more fluid look.
Soft neutrals or pastels (champagne, blush, dove grey) add a romantic feel.
Bold colours or textures (velvet, satin lapels) make a statement while keeping it formal.

3. Consider Styling Details

A structured blazer with delicate lapels keeps it tailored yet soft.
Opt for a blouse, lace camisole, or statement top instead of a traditional button-up.
Accessories like a silk bow tie, elegant brooch, or stylish heels can bring in personal flair.

4. Where to Shop?

Since traditional menswear stores may not always cater to feminine silhouettes, look for brands that offer custom tailoring or unisex styles. Some menswear suits can also be altered to fit a more feminine frame.

Blame the Baby have just recently made a custom suit for my sister to wear in her wedding.

She picked a style she liked, sent through her measurements and we made it up for her.

She did choose linen rather than the standard suit material, which we found sat nicely on her and photographed really well.

Pinterest is fantastic to find some ideas on what you are after, and then it is just a matter of finding someone who can make it up for you.

I recommend seeing a suiting specialist. Like Britton's in Perth. We offer custom made products for women. These products are made from scratch to suit the differences between men and women. A men's suit block does not factor in the following; bust position, different waist line, difference of hip, and location of hip. There are other differences between a men's suit and women's suit in regard to the overall finish, like button position.

It is important to give yourself time to have these garments made 8 - 10 weeks is generally the minimal lead times for a full suit, with vest and shirt to be made.

I hope this information helps.

We have modified suits for females from our extensive range of suitings of all sizes and colours. As the female shape is smaller in the shoulders than a man we narrow the shoulders to complement the female figure and any other alterations that are required to give a tailored look to enhance the female figure.
