Ask the price of a women's suit and the most honest answer is usually: “It depends on what you choose.” It sounds evasive, but that really is how it is. For the same suit, the price can differ many times over purely because of the cloth, the lining and the construction. Instead of handing you one dry number, this article helps you understand where a made-to-measure women's suit price comes from, and how to estimate your own budget before you meet the tailor.
The short answer
The made-to-measure women's suit price depends mainly on the cloth. At Mon Amie, a complete jacket-and-trousers set has three reference levels: Essential VND 4.8–10 million, Signature VND 10–20 million, Heritage above VND 20 million. A blazer on its own is lower than the full set; a skirt suit is close to the trouser suit, with extra cost in the skirt lining and details. An exact quote comes after you have chosen the cloth and style and been measured.
Three common configurations: blazer only, trouser suit and skirt suit
| Configuration | Includes | Suited to | Effect on price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blazer only | One women's suit jacket | Pairing with trousers, skirts or jeans you already own | Least cloth and labour, lower than a suit in the same cloth |
| Trouser suit | Jacket and trousers | Office, meetings, interviews | Reference level per the complete-set price list |
| Skirt suit | Jacket and skirt (pencil, A-line) | Feminine office wear, events | Close to the trouser suit; extra for the skirt lining, zip and waistband |
Two things are worth understanding. First, a women's suit jacket demands tailoring every bit as intricate as a man's: the shoulders are narrower and the bust and waist need their own pattern, so a blazer on its own is still a labour-intensive item. Second, the price of having one women's suit made is not counted per piece, but by the whole configuration and the cloth chosen.
Reference levels across Mon Amie's three cloth lines
Mon Amie arranges its made-to-measure price list for the complete set (jacket and trousers) in three cloth lines. You can use this as a benchmark to place your budget; the actual price depends on the style, the specific cloth and the measurements.
| Line | Reference price for the complete set | Cloth | Suited to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | VND 4.8 – 10 million | Kevinlli 40–70% wool (100s–140s) | A solid start with a proper fit, everyday office wear |
| Signature | VND 10 – 20 million | Kevinlli 80–100% wool 140s–150s, Dolce & Taylor, Luciano, Salford, Vercelli | The most popular line, for work and events |
| Heritage | Above VND 20 million, up to VND 60 million per suit | Canonico, Holland Sherry, Dormeuil, Scabal | A suit worth investing in for important occasions |
If you need a suit to wear often, Essential or Signature are two sensible choices. Heritage is for those who want cloth from Italian and English mills. See the details on the price list page.
What pushes the made-to-measure women's suit price up
Cloth. This is the most decisive part. The fineness of the yarn, the mill, the wool percentage and the cloth brand all matter. For the same style of suit, moving from the Essential line to Heritage can raise the price several times over.
Lining. Full or half lining, ordinary fabric or silk. Premium lining is cooler and softer but adds cost.
Canvas and construction. A jacket with several layers of hand-built canvas holds its shape better but takes more labour.
Details. Double-breasted buttons, flap pockets, horn or covered buttons, piping, an embroidered name and working buttonholes on the sleeves all add labour.
Special measurements or heavy alterations. Uneven shoulders, a larger bust, or a height outside the standard need their own pattern, and the tailor spends more time.
Number of pieces and configuration. A jacket plus trousers plus a skirt costs more than just the trouser suit or the skirt suit.
Urgency. Some tailors charge extra when you need the garment in a hurry, so ask beforehand if you have a fixed date.
How to save without sacrificing the cut
There are a few smart ways to spend more effectively:
- One jacket, two bottoms. Have the jacket made with both trousers and a skirt in the same cloth. You get two suits in one order, which is cheaper than making two separate suits. This suits someone who needs both styles.
- Invest in cloth, cut back on details. A suit in good cloth with a simple style always looks better than one in poor cloth with many details.
- Choose a neutral colour. Navy, black and charcoal grey are the easiest to mix and match, and can be worn many times.
- Have it made to measure instead of buying and then altering a lot. Altering the shoulders and bust on a ready-to-wear jacket is both costly and hard to bring back to the right cut.

What to ask when requesting a quote for a women's suit
To avoid surprises at the payment stage, you should ask:
- Which pieces does this price include (jacket, trousers, skirt)?
- Which line is the cloth, and what is the wool percentage?
- What kind of lining is used for the jacket and the skirt?
- Are alterations after you receive the suit included, and for how long?
- Is there a fee for extra measurements or for changing the style midway, if any?
At Mon Amie, the Bespoke service comes with a long-term alteration warranty after you receive the garment, and your measurements (more than 30 of them) are kept for life. If you live far away or have a busy schedule, online made-to-measure lets you book a video call and receive your order at home.
Tips from Mon Amie's master tailors
Shoulders and bust are the two places that most need careful fitting on a women's suit. A jacket that fits at the waist but is tight across the bust will crease around the button; shoulders that are too wide throw the whole jacket off its cut. Bring the exact kind of bra and shirt you will wear to be measured.
Choose the style by your work, not by trend. A suit for everyday work should have enough ease to sit, drive and raise your arms.
Don't forget alterations over time. Bodies change, and a good suit deserves to be adjusted a few times so you can wear it for a long time.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to have a women's suit made?
For Mon Amie's complete jacket-and-trousers set, the reference levels are VND 4.8 to 10 million (Essential), VND 10 to 20 million (Signature) and above VND 20 million (Heritage). The final price depends on the cloth, style and details, so an exact quote comes after you have chosen the cloth and been measured.
Is a single women's blazer much cheaper?
A single jacket uses less cloth and labour than a full set, so it is lower than a suit in the same cloth. The exact difference depends on the cloth and style. If you only need a jacket to pair with trousers or skirts you already own, a blazer is the economical choice.
How much does a women's suit cost with a skirt instead of trousers?
It is close to a trouser suit in the same cloth. A skirt needs lining, a zip and a waistband, so it has its own cost, but it usually uses less cloth than trousers. The difference is small compared with the differences that come from the cloth.
What price of women's suit is worth investing in?
It is worth investing when you wear it often. For everyday use, the Essential or Signature line is enough. Choose Heritage if you need a suit for a special occasion or want the most premium cloth in the range.
Does a made-to-measure women's suit price include alterations?
It depends on the tailor. At Mon Amie, the Bespoke service comes with a long-term alteration warranty after you receive the garment. You should ask clearly about the scope and the duration when you order, wherever you go.
Conclusion
A price is only a number; what matters is a suit that fits across the shoulders, suits your shape and that you will wear for many years. If you would like the exact price for your cloth, style and measurements, you can book a measuring appointment so the master tailor can quote after you have chosen the cloth and style.
