Women’s Striped Suits ⭑ Created in Houston
Ready-to-wear striped suits for women often focus on making a strong first impression, whether through narrow pinstripes, bold chalk stripes, or wider-spaced designs. But in many cases, the underlying tailoring doesn’t live up to the style. Fabrics may be lightweight to the point of losing structure, stripe placement can look careless at seams, and the cut is based on mass sizing that overlooks the particularities of the wearer’s frame. The result is a suit that may draw attention in the moment, but won’t deliver lasting value or versatility.
At B. Kreps, Houston’s top bespoke tailor, we bring the same meticulous approach we’ve perfected in men’s tailoring to women’s striped suits. Every piece is cut from scratch to your precise proportions, starting with a try-on garment—not a tape measure—so we can capture more than 30 fit points directly on your body. This ensures the jacket and trousers work in perfect harmony with your posture, movement, and style, whether you choose subtle narrow stripes or a more statement-making pattern.
You choose fabric and style
Different stripe patterns can shift a suit’s character entirely: fine lines for a refined, understated look; bolder chalk stripes for presence; or wider stripes for a contemporary twist. We guide you in choosing fabrics that maintain their shape yet remain comfortable in Houston’s climate, such as lightweight worsteds, tropical wools, or high-twist blends. Every design choice is yours—jacket length, lapel form, pocket style, button placement, waist contouring, and trouser silhouette—so the finished suit reflects both your personality and your practical needs.
The B. Kreps bespoke process
Once we refine the fit in your try-on garment, we draft your personal pattern and cut and sew the suit from scratch at our atelier in Amsterdam. It returns to Houston for a second fitting, where we make any final adjustments and update your pattern for future use. The entire process takes between 5 and 6 weeks, resulting in a suit that is as comfortable as it is distinctive.

FAQs
-
From the first fitting to the final tweaks of the finished garment, the entire process takes between 5-6 weeks.
-
We can request a rush that can narrow the ETA from five weeks to three. There is an additional charge depending on the garment but normally it’s about $150.
-
While it is possible to conduct fittings outside of the store, we strongly encourage our clients to visit our store for the first fitting at least. It allows us to show you the full selection of fabrics and customization options available to you, in addition to learning your lifestyle and sartorial preferences.
We believe the in-store experience is one of the joys of bespoke clothing and our customer testimonials prove that point emphatically. The truth is, it is hard to reproduce that experience in a time-pressured office environment. Once we have fine-tuned your fit, we can bring fabrics and styling accessories to your office. But then you miss out on spending time with Magic the Dawg!
