Custom Wedding Suit FAQs

Our custom wedding suit FAQs answer common questions about pricing, timeline, fittings, alterations, and what to expect when working with
M & M Suit Shop.

Do you only make wedding suits?

Our primary focus is custom wedding suits for women and AFAB nonbinary clients. We also create other custom pieces by request, including vests, shirts, overcoats, and business wear.

How long does the process for a custom wedding suit take?

Our custom process takes about three months from your first appointment to your final fitting.

Do you work with short timelines?

Our custom process requires a minimum of three months. We are not able to take clients with wedding dates sooner than that, as rushing compromises both fit and quality.

What is a mock suit?

A mock suit is a sample version of your jacket and pants that allows us to test fit, proportions, and design before your final suit is made.

Where are your suits made?

Our suits are produced by a trusted manufacturing partner that specializes in custom tailored garments. We oversee the design, fit, and quality standards for every piece that is created for our clients.

Because each suit is made specifically for the person wearing it, production takes place through our manufacturing partner rather than being sewn in house.

Do I have to come in person for a custom wedding suit?

Your initial consultation may be held virtually or in person. All appointments after that, including measurements, mock suit fittings, and final fittings, are in person at our studio.

How many people can I bring to my appointment?

Our studio is very small and intentionally intimate. We recommend bringing no more than two to three guests.

How do I book a consultation?

You can start by visiting our Booking page, where we walk you through what happens and how to get scheduled. From there, you will be able to choose a time on our calendar.

What if I change my mind about the design?

Changes are welcome during the mock suit phase. Once you approve your mock suit and your final suit enters production, the design is locked in.

What if something does not fit the way I expected?

Your mock suit and final fitting give you the opportunity to review fit and design before your suit leaves our studio. Minor fit adjustments may still be needed after final production, which is common with custom garments.

What does a custom wedding suit cost?

Most clients invest between $1,100 and $4,000 for their custom wedding suit, depending on fabric and design. Full pricing details are available on our Pricing page.

How do payments work?

We collect payment in stages throughout the process. The mock suit is paid for at or shortly after your consultation if you choose to move forward. The design fee is due a few days before your customization appointment. The remaining balance for your final suit is due after your mock suit is approved.

Do you offer alterations?

We refer clients to a trusted local alteration partner. Alterations are arranged and paid for directly with the tailor.

Can my suit be shipped to me?

Final suits are picked up during an in person fitting at our studio. In rare cases, we may approve shipping for clients who have traveled from far away.

Can I bring my own buttons or request a custom lining?

Yes. You are welcome to bring your own buttons, and we can also create a fully custom lining based on a photo, pattern, or meaningful image. A custom lining from an image is an additional fee.

Do you offer custom embellishments like capes or embroidery?

We focus on tailoring, fit, and fabric selection for your suit. At this time, we do not offer custom embellishments such as capes, embroidery, or decorative add ons.

Can I stop by the studio without an appointment?

We are an appointment only studio. We are not able to accommodate walk ins.

Is there a restroom on site?

We do not have a restroom available for client use, so we recommend planning accordingly. Starbucks is right up the road.

Where are you located?

We are based in Charlotte, North Carolina and welcome both local and virtual clients for initial consultations.

Do you work with LGBTQIA plus clients?

Absolutely. Our studio is an affirming and inclusive space. Discrimination is never tolerated.

Are custom wedding suits worth it?

Custom wedding suits are ideal for clients who value fit, intention, and personalization. Unlike off-the-rack garments, each piece is created specifically for your body and design choices.
