Butch Attire & Fashion

[randrum]

I wanted to tell everyone about a really good experience I had yesterday.

Now I'm definitely a jeans and t-shirt butch. Even for work, the extent of my "dressing up" is khakis and a polo. But I find myself needing something dressy for an engagement party I'm going to on New Year's Eve.

I decided to bite the bullet and get a nice suit. Something properly fitted and tailored. I decided to try Men's Wearhouse because that is their business. But I was a little worried because here I am, obviously female, walking into a Men's Wearhouse to get fitted for a suit.

Turns out I worried needlessly. What a great experience! They did not treat me differently or give me a hard time. In fact, they made me feel welcome and comfortable. Helped me find a suit that was sized right and had an in-house tailor to make the alterations necessary. They even helped me match shoes, shirts, ties... Everything I needed to complete the look.

Now I won't lie, it was more expensive than I had anticipated. But well worth it. I know that I'll be looking sharp for the party and walked out of there feeling very confident.
