Tailor Maid
When it comes to shopping, men seem to have it so easy. They give their measurements, fabric and cut choices to a tailor, and a few weeks later, pick up a bespoke suit; whereas, we’ll spend days going from store-to-store to find the right fit.
Cin Tailleurs offers women made-to-measure mode, with exquisite tailoring by co-owners Cinthya Chalifoux and Gabrielle Gauvreau. You can pick from seasonal selection of styles and have your garment created to custom fit your curves, or sketch out something from your own imagination. At $375 for a day dress, $300 for pants, and $700 for a silk trench, a bespoke wardrobe may be something of an investment, but we think your body will thank you for not stuffing it into a too-small skirt or swimming in a poorly fit blazer.
Finally! Some equality for the sexes. —Jennifer Nachshen
