DITCH OLd ATTITUDES ON YOUR BIG DAY

YOUR BIG DAY SHOULD BE ABOUT YOU. EXPLORE CUSTOM PIECES THAT BREAK TRADITIONS

Elevate your wedding vision beyond tradition with bespoke celebration attire that defies expectations. Each meticulously crafted piece begins as a dream – perhaps a sculptural jumpsuit in Italian silk that catches light like liquid metal, or an artisanal corset hand-embellished with vintage pearls and paired with flowing palazzo pants cut from the finest Japanese crepe. For those seeking extraordinary LGBT wedding attire or same-sex wedding fashion, prepare to transcend conventional boundaries. Envision architectural silhouettes with precisely placed cutouts, sumptuous wedding suits for masc women in rich jewel tones, or expertly structured corsets that transform into ethereal capes. Your lesbian wedding attire should be as extraordinary as your love story – crafted with unparalleled attention to detail and artisanal excellence.

True luxury emerges through collaboration with master tailors who understand that lesbian wedding suit ideas aren't simply about measurements – it's about creating wearable art that celebrates individuality. Whether your aesthetic leans toward refined masculine lines, feminine details, or pioneering new territory entirely, our atelier approaches each lesbian wedding outfit as a masterwork waiting to be revealed. Through multiple fittings, we perfect the interplay of rare textiles, harmonize unexpected elements, and ensure every hand-sewn detail contributes to an ensemble worthy of your most significant moments. Your wedding day represents the pinnacle of personal expression, and your same-sex wedding attire should reflect that elevated standard. Command the aisle, embrace the celebration, and mark this milestone in garments crafted to be as distinctive and remarkable as your love story. This is bespoke brilliance, designed exclusively for you.

CUSTOM JUMPSUIT

Our clients absolutely adore our custom wedding jumpsuits, which are a close second to our pant suits for women in popularity. These all-in-one outfits require minimal styling and are the perfect choice for those who may not feel comfortable in a traditional wedding dress or women's business suits.

At The Tailory New York, we've been crafting exquisite custom wedding jumpsuits and mother of the bride pant suits for almost a decade. Our passion for challenging traditional wedding attire has made us a leader in the custom jumpsuit movement.

No matter what your wedding plans entail – whether it's a grand affair in a women's velvet suit, an intimate gathering in a women's pink suit, or a city hall ceremony – we can design the perfect jumpsuit for you. From simple, sleek styles to intricate, beaded lace creations, and even asymmetrical draped designs for the fashion-forward, our custom approach ensures that every body and style can be catered to.

CUSTOM CORSET

At The Tailory NYC, our custom corsets are the perfect foundation for brides seeking a wedding look that is both powerful and feminine. Wear it alone as a statement piece that redefines bridal silhouettes, or pair it with a tailored skirt for a more traditional feel. The Tailory New York can also style it with high-waisted trousers for a modern, androgynous look. For those who dare to be different, we suggest adding a dramatic overskirt or a cascading train that flows from the corset's boning. Embrace the versatility of the custom corset and create a wedding look that is uniquely you.

CUSTOM THREE PIECE SUIT

Every love story deserves to be celebrated in style. We create custom three-piece wedding suits with impeccable craftsmanship and personalized details for every couple, offering a wide range of options including suits for masc women and lesbian attire for weddings.

Collaborate with our stylists to design your perfect LGBT wedding suit or explore lesbian wedding suit ideas like stylish pant suits. Whether you dream of a classic tuxedo, a modern twist, or a bold statement, the possibilities are endless.

Your custom suit will be a testament to your love and style. We believe love is love, and we're honored to be a part of your journey. Need more inspiration? Browse our online gallery or schedule a consultation!

CUSTOM DRESS

The blazer dress is the perfect stylistic choice for modern brides who’s design aesthetic falls in between the classic suit/tuxedo and the traditional wedding gown. Wear it alone for a more structured aesthetic while paying homage to the wedding gown. Pair back to a tailored pant and top or back to a jumpsuit for a suited but not suited look. Vamp it up by adding a long train to the back and forgo the wedding veil.

CUSTOM CAPED SUIT

Our clients are captivated by the drama and elegance of our custom-made caped suits, a truly show-stopping choice for those who dare to be different. These statement pieces effortlessly command attention and are perfect for anyone looking to make a bold entrance, including lesbian wedding suits that redefine bridal style.

At The Tailory New York, we've been pushing the boundaries of bespoke tailoring, crafting innovative caped suits and lesbian suit options that redefine modern sophistication. Our passion for unique design and impeccable craftsmanship has positioned us at the forefront of this captivating trend.

Whether you envision a sleek, minimalist cape for a red carpet event, a flowing, embellished design for a gala, or a dramatic, floor-length creation for a black-tie affair – or even a stunning lesbian wedding suit – our custom approach ensures a perfect fit and an unforgettable look. From luxurious velvet and silk to intricate lace and shimmering embellishments, we cater to every style and preference.

DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT

HERE'S WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY

CHRISTOPHER ARUJO

I was searching for a designer who could deliver beyond the typical wedding suit, and I found exactly that in Shao and her team.From start to finish, the experience was truly collaborative. The brief was to design a suit for our big night of the reception. BUT, it also had to be built to withstand the sweaty dance party that would take place. Shao took the time to listen to my vision and meticulously crafted every detail to ensure the suit would not only meet but exceed expectations.The suit itself was a work of art, incorporating a unique pattern that paid homage to my Mexican American heritage. The attention to detail was exceptional—from the custom silver buttons to the stunning oversized white rose brooch, which beautifully represented the white rose of Yorkshire symbolizing my wife’s background. Each element was thoughtfully designed to surprise and delight, making the suit a perfect blend of our stories and styles.If you’re looking for a tailor who combines creativity, personalization, and a deep understanding of individual tastes, Shao is the one to choose. I’ll never forget how special I felt wearing that suit and look forward to working with The Tailory again in the future.

There are no words that can articulate the level of appreciation I have for the Tailory.They were so thoughtful in supporting the design, fabric selection, fitting, and everything else. They always provided their professional opinion and recommendation without pressuring or being overbearing. The entire team was LOVELY, I have absolutely nothing but the best things to say and peaches is so cute!!!!This suit made me feel badass, amazing, chic - everything I wanted and more. I am so grateful for your beautiful hard work. Thank you - you helped create a memory I will never forget.

This is an amazing place!! When I first walked the vibe it gave me was cozy professional. I was greeted at the door and later as I came back for fittings greeted at the elevator. Working with shao and all the staff members really made me felt confident and excited in the final results of the suit. Shao was really professional as well as artistic. When we had our 2nd meeting with her going over the design she was realistic but helped us in vision how the suit would look like in the end. I never would have imagined that when we walked in we would be given a blank canvas with which we could create whatever came to our mind. The options in suit color, pattern, designs, beading, and cut really makes this a custom suit a one of one. The freedom of creativity and whatever you in vision really makes this place unique. We will be back for more pieces in the future!!

My wife and I first got in touch with The Tailory for a very specific request, which was to see if it was possible to include a qi pao (a traditional Chinese dress) in a suit. To our delight, the answer was yes! We worked with them to create this suit for our wedding, and the process was so smooth and easy! The staff was friendly, communicative, and incredibly helpful in narrowing down all of the options to choose from (there's a lot). When I wasn't quite sure what I wanted, they were patient and asked questions to help me figure out my vision.In the process of creating my suit, my wife needed to have alterations done to their dress, and The Tailory offered to take that on as well! The attention and time they gave us for both the dress and suit is something to behold. My wife and I are so grateful to have chosen to work with them. We absolutely love the finished products, and the both of us received endless compliments for our outfits on our wedding day. We highly recommend them! Top notch quality and service.

The Tailory was the most delightful experience about my entire wedding planning! These ladies are all professionals making me feel completely at ease with what I was going to receive! I was in search of the prefect jumpsuit and they delivered the wedding jumpsuit of my dreams!! I searched every single website out there for jumpsuits and all I wanted was something elegant and simple. I was surprised nothing out there existed! I tried buying high end designer jumpsuits from department stores, for double the price of my custom jumpsuit, but nothing fit me. They were made to fit tall slender women and the proportions did not work for me. This custom jumpsuit they created for me fit like a glove and I was able to dance like a crazy person at my wedding with no issues! They also worked seamlessly with my mom who wanted to make my cape veil for me and they were so easy to collaborate with! I cannot rave enough about their work, this place is amazing 10 stars if could give them more!!!!

They gave me an awesome, custom fitted suit in green to use for a special event in rush order. The suit fits great and will be great to use all year long. I will definitely come back to them in the future because their color and fabric selection is better than any other place I looked for in the city. Greatly appreciate their hospitality while in the space as well. The entire experience is dedicated to you.

I had never had a custom garment made for me before, but I will certainly have another suit made by The Tailory NYC in the future. When my wife and I found this woman owned business on Instagram, we hoped it would be an affirming experience to work with them for the suit I would where on our wedding day, and it certainly was! Silke took the time to understand what we wanted and who we were in our first consultation and gave us so many great options for materials to make my suit perfect for me. They stuck to their word on timelines throughout the process and kept us informed each step of the way. Highly recommend! Photos included taken by photographer Emily April Allen

The Tailory helped me design the long JACKET & CAPE of my dreams for my wedding! I never liked wearing dresses, and when I fell upon this company, looking for a femme/masculine/edgy style, I knew I had to pursue them to help me create the look I desired, from the custom jumpsuit and long jacket WITH SPIKES and bling! My wife was obsessed with it upon our first look and my outfit was the TALK of the night and MOST anticipated from our guests! Everyone LOVED my look and it truly reflected me and my style! Highly recommended!!!

I can't speak highly enough about my entire experience working with the Tailory. I wanted to get a custom suit for my wedding and really wanted to go somewhere that valued androgyny and the queer community. I had no idea what I was doing, but I knew I wanted something unique and sharp and the Tailory seemed to really stand out.In my consultation, led by the manager Silke (who is absolutely amazing), I gained a new appreciation for the true artistry that goes into making a custom suit. Silke took me through every detail and helped me make fashionable choices as I put the pieces together. I was grateful to have Silke's guidance because I can be kind of square and she pushed me to think bigger about my big day.After we put together the suit, the rest of the process was seamless. I had a few fittings where the Tailor really took care to make sure everything was absolutely perfect. The attention to detail, active listening and collaboration was really special.In the end I came away with a suit better than I had ever imagined. It was everything I wanted and (don't tell my wife) it really stole the show. I got so many compliments and more importantly I felt confident in how I looked. I spent the night dancing and having a blast and it held up strong. The best part is, I can definitely wear it again. The worst part is, now I can't stop thinking about what my next suit will be - its a dangerous habit to pick up! But I'm totally obsessed and would absolutely recommend the Tailory for any special occasion - or just a nice new suit! In fact, I already sent a friend who got their wedding suit there and she is another very happy customer.

A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDER

The idea for The Tailory New York began when I decided to direct my years of fashion design and men’s tailoring experience towards my own wardrobe. As a pantsuit aficionado and a lover of men’s fashion and tailoring, I was always drawn to tailored clothing and strived to create fashion that conveyed the same messages of confidence that a perfectly custom tailored suit did for men.

Style icons like Sean Connery and Cary Grant, as well as modern day 007 Daniel Craig (shaken not stirred) were always my style inspirations. To me, they are the epitome of refinement and sophistication, true gentlemen in style. My passion for fashion and tailoring led me through the Fashion Design program at Parsons followed by stints in custom tailoring, fashion design, fashion styling and brand development. But the more I integrated myself in the industry, the more I realized that impeccable fit, for men and women, was almost impossible to find in ready to wear clothing.

So in 2013, I launched The Tailory New York as a way for me to combine my two passions: Fashion Design and Custom Tailoring. Everyone wants to look their best and having a wardrobe curated to your body and lifestyle not only enables you to look your best but makes you feel your best. At The Tailory New York, “we believe that your wardrobe should not only fit perfectly but should be designed with only YOU in mind.” Providing personally designed, fitted, and curated collections for each individual client is the essence of who we are. Let us custom design the wardrobe fit for you!
