Helpful Tips: Woman Wear Tuxedos Too!

In the past couple years, we have actually had more and more ladies rock a tuxedo, not just men. It has not been for only wedding either! We have had ladies wear tuxedos for their own events, prom, homecoming, etc, and we love it! So if you are a lady who wants to rent a tuxedo from us, here are a couple things for you to know:

1. Yes, We Will Fit Women for Tuxedos.

I know it must seem obvious, but we get asked quite a lot if will fit women for tuxedos and we certainly will. Just keep in mind, our tuxedos are still made for men, we don't carry women's tuxedos specifically. What this means is that it is not made to hug your curves like normal women's clothing would. This brings me to my next point.

2. We Are NOT A Tailor.

Usually, a woman wants her tuxedo to fit like her clothing would. Since we do not carry actual women's tuxedos it is important that we have you try on everything to see if you are comfortable with the fit. We certainly would never have you leave with you tuxedo in a disarray, but we CANNOT take in the garments. We can only do minor alterations, meaning sleeve and pant lengths. We cannot take the pants or coat in to be more form fitting. If this is going to be a big concern of yours, perhaps consider buying a good pair of pants that fit you how you want (and that you can use again) and getting the rest from us. Overall, be vocal about how comfortable you are. We do not want you to be in uncomfortable with the fit of your tuxedo. 

3. Bring Your Shoes!

For men, the pants length is supposed to go down to their heels and break once in the front. For women, we have the ability to wear them in a couple different ways depending on the type of shoes. If you are wearing heels, the pants can be shorter, if you are wearing flats, they can be a little longer. We won't know unless you bring the shoes with you so we can have the length exactly where you would like them, so don't forget to bring your shoes!

Just make sure you tell us what you like and do not like during your fitting so we can see if we can make the tuxedo more comfortable for you. We want you to look and feel your very best for the occasion!
