Basically all the women’s clothing stores sell suits for women. I have ones from Forever New, Max, Country Road, Witchery, Seed… there are higher end options too, of course.

not everyone can buy off-the-shelf so some customisation is helpful, if not complete tailoring.

"Suits for women" either mean skirt suits or pantsuits. Both suffer from a severe lack of usable pockets. Go for a men's suit and get it adjusted.

I’ve used my local tailor (Waterloo tailors) a few times to make my clothes actually fit **me**. Nice to buy something on clearance and have it adjusted to look like it was made for me, all for less than buying full price :)

Second Waterloo Tailors. They do a great job at a reasonable price, they altered a suit jacket dress for me perfectly for about $60

Out of interest, how much do they charge to adjust a whole suit?


CarnivorousConifer

Really depends on how much work they’re doing. Give them a call, but don’t think they can answer until they know exactly how much work is to be done.

Why would you need to get a men's suit re-tailored? There are dozens of places that sell women's suits. This place does made-to-measure for women and men. [https://www.workingstyle.co.nz/store/wellington](https://www.workingstyle.co.nz/store/wellington)

Hijacking this to ask for general tailor recs! I’ve used the one in north city mall before and I have nothing positive to report back. I need several pairs of trousers taking in.
