FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Explore answers to the most common questions about our bespoke tailoring services, ensuring you have all the information you need to make an informed decision.
How long does a made to measure tuxedo take?
Our made to measure tuxedos typically take around 6–8 weeks from consultation to final fitting. This allows time for careful tailoring and any finishing touches needed for the perfect fit.
Can I customise the details of my tuxedo?
Yes — from lapel style and button choices to lining colours and fabric selection, you’ll be guided through each option to ensure your tuxedo reflects your personal style and occasion.
Is a fitting at the studio required?
Not at all. We’re pleased to offer fittings at home, at work or virtually if preferred. Igor can bring swatches and walk you through the process wherever suits you best.
Do you only offer classic black tuxedos?
While timeless black remains a favourite, we also offer midnight blue and other considered shades, all tailored in fine British cloths. We’ll help you find something quietly distinctive.
Can I wear a made to measure tuxedo more than once?
Absolutely. A well-made tuxedo is a wardrobe staple that suits many formal occasions. With thoughtful design and fit, yours will be made to stand the test of time.
“Igor is an absolute STAR! He went far above and beyond my greatest expectations to get me and my groomsman ready for my wedding on a very tight schedule. He is a pleasure to work with and his personal style and passion for quality tailoring was so clear in the suits he made for us. I really can’t recommend Igor and his services highly enough.”
“I recently had a three piece suit and shirt made by Dandylion, and I couldn’t be happier. Igor, the tailor, was really helpful to choose a suit which matched my style and budget. He kept in contact throughout to let me know how it was progressing and made sure it was ready with plenty of time before the wedding – even with a last minute request to add a waistcoat! I will definitely use Dandylion again. Highly recommended.”
Our approach to tailoring is very relaxed and we offer amazing, luxurious British fabrics – such as Tweed, Cashmere, Cotton, Linen, Wool and Mohair. We can of course tailor to your specific needs and incorporate unique designs such as quirky, funky and colourful linings to personalise our products for you.
At Dandylion Style we offer many options to tailor your suit using different grades such as hand stitching, machine stitching and half hand stitching.
Our studio is based in a small, quiet and historic village in West Sussex called ‘Ardingly’ but, knowing how busy our clients are, we can also arrange to meet at your place of work, in your home or anywhere that is more convenient for you with our “Visiting tailor” service. Dandylion Style already caters for many locations around Sussex, London, Europe and USA. Wherever we meet, you will be measured by an experienced tailor who will advise you on fittings, fabrics, linings and buttons and present you with our swatches that include the very best of British mills.
Browse our web site to see examples of our tailoring designs and ready to wear collections; you will also see how to contact us to book an appointment or to have a friendly chat on the phone with one of our experienced tailors with any queries you may have.
