It started quietly. A few years back, women would come in mostly for alterations — bringing in something from another shop that didn't quite fit right. We'd fix it, they'd leave happy, and sometimes they'd come back.
Then something shifted. More women started asking: can you make something for me from scratch?
We said yes. And we kept saying yes.
I don't think it's a trend in the flashy sense. It's more of a slow, steady change in how women think about getting dressed. A well-made suit — one that actually fits your body, your proportions, your shape — does something for how you carry yourself that a rack purchase rarely can. Women have known this for a long time. They're just acting on it more now.
At David & Co., the experience for our ladies customers is a bit different from the rest. My mother Sarah is our ladies' tailor. She handles all the fittings and measurements for women, and she's been doing this long enough to know that getting a proper fit for a woman's body is its own craft — different proportions, different considerations, a different kind of conversation.
A lot of women tell us they've felt uncomfortable or unseen in traditional tailoring shops. Too formal. Too male. Not quite built for them. Sarah changes that. She's warm, she asks the right questions, and she understands what you're trying to achieve — whether it's a sharp blazer for the office, a full suit for a wedding or a formal occasion, or simply a pair of trousers that finally fit the way they should.
We make suits, blazers, trousers, and shirts for women. We also do alterations. If you have something that almost fits but not quite — bring it in and we'll take a look.
If you've been thinking about getting something made and weren't sure if we were the right place, this is us telling you: we are.
Reach out, and we'll take it from there.
