Wedding Suit Tailoring by CYC Tailor

Imagine this: your big day is around the corner, and you want to find the right tailor to get a suit made. After hours of searching for 'best suit tailor in Singapore', you shortlist a few tailors based on your requirements. Subsequently, you visit these stores, to understand how tailoring works (if you have not been to a tailor at all) and to touch and feel the fabrics. It is somewhat painstaking but, you want to get the best deal for that big day. To help you shorten the process, we share some commonly asked questions and tips:

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I wear a three-piece suit for my wedding?

This will depend on your personal style. We think a three-piece suit makes the wearer's physique more flattering. But, if there are not many other occasions for you to wear a vest and you want to be practical, a two-piece suit works as well.

How much does a tailored suit cost?

Our entry price for a 2 piece suit is $1700.

How long does it take to tailor a suit for the wedding?

Usually, it takes about 4-5 weeks to tailor a suit. Factor this into your planning process.

Reason for the time-line: it takes about 2 weeks for us to cut and sew a semi-finished suit jacket for a fitting session. A fitting session is required to ensure that the final jacket fits well. After the fitting (where adjustments are pinned and noted), we will need another 2 weeks to complete your suit.

Which colour is best for a wedding suit?

Typically, our customers opt for navy and grey, as these are versatile business suit colours that they can use after the wedding, especially for practical minded men. We do also notice a growing trend of customers looking for beige/sand coloured wedding suits for luncheons.

Black is typically reserved for tuxedo suits and black tie event; for couples who have decided on a formal dress code for their wedding banquet, you may go for this option.

Ultimately, our top choices would still be the classic navy and grey suits (yes we know, the common adage is that 'they are boring colours..’ but our fabrics come in a huge variety of textures, patterns, and a multitude of shades, and that’s where you can differentiate yourself!).

Are tailored suits worth it?

Of course! However, if workmanship is not a major point of consideration for you, and you have that perfect body shape to fit into a ready-made suit, why not? The biggest plus for getting your suit tailored is the wide choice of fabrics, the ability to have it tailored to the exact style you want, and it'll be tailored in a fit that suits your body type. It is an investment for the most
important day in your life and an investment that lasts.

What is the ordering process at a tailor?

Our wedding stylist will seek first to understand the theme of your wedding. If you plan to have an outdoor wedding, we will recommend that you select fabrics that are more light weight like linen or cotton. We will also propose making an unlined
jacket so that you do not melt in the humid Singapore weather.

Besides fabrics, colour choices are also important factors to consider, followed by style of the jacket and pants.

It may seem overwhelming to those new to tailoring but, this is where you have the opportunity to customize according to your personal preferences. The decision making usually takes longer than the measurement process which takes about 20 minutes.

Who is the best tailor in Singapore?

Goes without saying...😉

Is it worth tailoring a cheap suit?

No. We would rather you opt for a ready-to-wear suit. While we are not implying that all cheap suits may suffer from shoddy workmanship, that is usually the case.

Should I rent or buy a suit?

If you only need to wear a suit once in a blue moon, then renting may be a sensible option, especially if you are looking to coordinate all your groomsmen outfits.

For Banquet / Solemnisation

Suit colours: Navy or charcoal grey fabrics are ideal, as these are classic colours that will co-ordinate well with your bride’s trousseau and will look great for your photo-taking sessions.
