From the reviews

I had a truly wonderful experience getting my wedding suit at Billy Reid Custom. Faatima was incredible and worked with me to tailor every detail of my suit to be absolutely perfect. She was able to take my rough and incomplete idea and turn it into the most beautiful suit I have ever seen.

★★★★★ — Brian, May 2026

I can't say enough good things about Emily and my experience at Billy Reid. My brother gifted me a grey sportcoat and shirt for Christmas, and Emily made sure everything was tailored to fit perfectly. I mean perfectly. Right out of the gate, it felt like it was made just for me.

★★★★★ — Adrian, Mar 2026

What more could I ask for? Emily was fantastic! I worked with her to select fabric, cut, and accessories for my custom, "father-of-the-bride" suit. 1. She took the time ahead of our appointment to have me send a little brief on my design preferences ahead of our selection meeting. This was super helpful for both of us.

★★★★★ — Jim, Oct 2025

I wanted a custom suit for my wedding, and came to Bill Reid custom on 14th St. My now-wife and I worked with Emily Blumberh to design it + a custom shirt. Emily was great to work with, helping create a suit that was fun and summery while still looking formal.

Plus size bridal & formal at Billy Reid Custom

Billy Reid Custom comes up for plus size bridal and formal wear — confirmed on their own site. Two things to know before the trip. First, bridal shopping is usually by appointment — book ahead, and when you call, ask what size range their try-on samples come in. A shop can order almost any gown in your size, but the sample sizes on the floor decide whether you actually get to see yourself in the dress, and the good plus bridal shops stock samples to try, not just to imagine. Second, plan the alterations timeline: gowns and formal dresses typically go through two or three fittings, so the comfortable window is starting your search around 8–10 months before the date and saying yes to a gown by 6. Alterations are mentioned on site here, which makes the fitting logistics a whole lot easier.
