I've gotten that kind of service buying a suit at Nordstrom, but I got really spoiled having "my" tailor (all of my friends had one) in Dubai who could duplicate anything, and fix the fit in the process. Having your waist at your waist and your shoulders at your shoulders shouldn't have to be a luxury.

Go for it, girl! What's important is not your size (though some chapters do make cuts based on that, unfortunately) but your confidence level and like others have said, your attire.

Just make sure you look and feel great and go in with your head held high. You will find a home

I learned this in my 20s. I had gone shopping with my father, who was looking for a new suit. He stepped into the men's department at Macy's and was greeted within 10 seconds by a salesman. He told the man he wanted a charcoal gray with subtle pinstripe. The guy eyeballed him, picked three suits in his size and had the seamstress waiting for him when Dad stepped out of the dressing room. She marked up the suit, and we were good to go.

That caliber of service has happened for me...never.

It was then that I realized a good seamstress isn't a luxury, it's a necessity.

I'll get off my soapbox.
Ugh, this is why I HATE vanity sizing in women's clothing! In some stories I'm a small, in others a large. It's so bizarre. And don't get me started on jeans...

Oh, yeah! I'm about 20 pounds more than I was in college. I wore a 6 or an 8 then. I wear a 4 or a 6 now. Really?????
