For as long as I can remember, I have never been able to find a suit that fits me perfectly. A suit is one of those things that needs to fit well, otherwise you'll end up looking like little kiddies playing grown ups, macho and butch with huge shoulders, or just plain ridiculous.
I have looked high and low, am very willing to pay retail or even more than retail as long as I get the perfect suit, in a good quality fabric, that does not require *ANY* alterations...
And I have always ended up empty handed. My search for the perfect suit has been intensified in the last 3 months as I long for quick snap easy dressing in the morning where i can alternate between five suits, and never have to face the question of "what shall i wear today"... but alas, weekly visits to Cue, Country Road, Veronika Maine and all those other suit type places have resulted in nothing.. NOTHING... !!!
I hate that the smallest size in the stores fit as if they're supposed to be one to two sizes larger (but even more so for country road), and I hate the fake labelling of sizing for the purpose of making Australia's larger people feel a bit better about their selves... I've even taken home suits with the intention of getting them altered, only to be confronted by exorbitant alterations cost - ie. Alterations of approximately $100 for a jacket that already costs close to $300!?? I think not..
So in my despair, I am even thinking of flying out to singapore or malaysia just to buy a couple of suits.. *cries in desperation* But before I do that... does anyone know where I can find suits that are made for small people (and fit like their stated sizes)..?
