Sicily & Savile builds bespoke suits, blazers, trousers and tailored dresses for women in our Parkhurst, Johannesburg atelier. Female customers can request a consultation with a female stylist for additional comfort during measurements and fittings. Every garment is hand-built on-site using the same traditional methods we apply to our men’s bespoke commissions.
Why a Bespoke Women’s Suit Is Different
Women’s off-the-peg suiting in South Africa is patchy. Most chain offerings are scaled-down menswear blocks that don’t account for the differences in shoulder slope, bust, waist-to-hip ratio, or how a jacket sits across the chest. Bespoke fixes this entirely — we draft your pattern from your measurements, with no compromises borrowed from a different body shape.
What We Build
- Bespoke women’s suits — two- or three-piece, in worsted wool, wool blends, linen or cotton.
- Blazers and jackets — single- or double-breasted, structured or soft-shoulder, with or without lapels.
- Tailored trousers — high-waisted, mid-rise, wide-leg, cigarette, cropped — drafted to your exact rise and hip.
- Tailored dresses — sheath, shift, fitted-bodice — built with the same construction as our jackets.
- Skirt suits — pencil, A-line, or pleated, co-ordinated with a matching jacket.
- Bridal suits and wedding outfits — for brides choosing tailored over a dress, or for women in the wedding party.
Occasions We Build For
- Boardroom and executive wardrobes
- Court appearances (advocates, attorneys)
- Conferences and speaking engagements
- Weddings — bridal suits, mother-of-the-bride outfits, attendants
- Power lunches and signature daily wear
- Black-tie and formal events
The Female Stylist Option
Bespoke tailoring is an intimate process — close measurements, multiple fittings, candid conversations about fit. If you’d prefer a female stylist to guide your consultations and fittings, we’ll schedule one. Just mention it when you book.
Process & Timeline
The process mirrors our men’s bespoke service: free consultation, cloth selection, fifteen-plus measurements, paper pattern drafting, baste fitting, forward fitting, final delivery. Full timeline is typically 4 to 8 weeks.
Pricing
A bespoke women’s two-piece suit at Sicily & Savile is priced comparably to our men’s range — exact quote depends on cloth and complexity. We’re transparent about pricing at the consultation; no surprises later.
