>>I've known many a woman who looked awesome in a well-tailored suit,<<

Agreed. I like suits for certain business situations, and I strongly prefer trousers to skirts.

>> but finding someone to *actually do the tailoring*... well, perhaps that's getting a bit easier, thanks Be. Bespoke clothing is nearly a lost art in America, and I suspect dying on Saville Row as well... I should like to see it make a renaissance... <<

Agreed. "Needlework" in my Fledgling Grace series deals with this issue, although it hasn't been sponsored yet.
