I'm an MtF CD. My wife is wonderfully accepting. When I spoke to her about coming to a T-girl event with me, she said "If I were to go, I'd want a suit."
So.. where is the best place to get my wife a men's suit? She's a big girl (6', E cup, big hips)
Thanks!

Thinking retail, maybe Men's Wearhouse? They have the so-called 'Big-n-Tall' stuff. Maybe there's something there in a jacket that would look good on her.
Yes; I will double that idea. I am a real big guy, and the only place that I can get a jacket or a suite is
Mens Warehouse. I saw a sale going on, so look them up.

HOT! But what she liked was $1k
>.<
Alternatives?
How much are the tickets to YOUR tg event? How much is your dress? How much have you spent on forms, dresses, makeup, shoes etc?Quote:

Good luck
If it's a one time thing you could rent her a suit or a tux.
Well , she didn't want to spend that much either.
I'm a thrift store shopper, so I don't spend crazy money to dress. The event was $15, the dress was $60, the shoes were $30, and the Pashmina wrap was $30. That is the max I have spent on an outfit.
Still working on it.
I found my suit at a thrift shop :) $60 and done. Most of the time, the bigger ones will have actual suit sets decently priced. If your wife encounters the same issue I had(wide hips) then try going for a navy color because it and black will be the easiest to match :)
Try Goodwill. They don't always have something that works but when they do the price is always right. And it helps someone have a job that can't hold down a regular one.

You will probably have to find one big enough for her, and have it altered. Especially one when is big, getting a perfect off-the-rack fit is very difficult; with a large female body, it will almost be a given it will need to be altered (much how I have to have a large woman's suit altered to fit my large male body.)
