Suit jackets for ultracurvy hourglass figures?

Jan 07, 2009 15:13

I'm in REAL need of a suit jacket that FITS. I am busty and with a gigantic ass... and by the time I get something that fits my top and my bottom, my waist is totally lost. I keep having issues with jackets that are extremely baggy in the lower back! I also have relatively narrow shoulders that complicate the fitting in the bust too. Does anyone know of a brand that tends to make flattering jackets that are more suitable for hourglass shapes?

In addition or instead, I might need a good tailor in the Boston area. I have heard mixed things about Nordstrom alterations, but I do have 2 jackets from there in the same style - one too big, one too small - one of which might work with alterations. Any other ideas on tailoring, or even general advice on how to select a good tailor?

Thanks in advance for all replies!
