Okay, I need y’all to point me in the right direction. When Beau and I got engaged, I immediately started scouring the internet, local bridal boutiques, and area thrift stores for the perfect dress (which I ended up finding over at Janay A. Handmade‘s etsy shop). Finding a dress was difficult, but also kind of fun… I wanted to do it. However, the hunt for Beau’s outfit has been a different beast all together — in fact, we haven’t really even begun hunting… oops.
As I’m sure y’all are already aware, for butch women, staring down a formal event can be massively stress-inducing. A dress? Um… no. A suit? Yeah, maybe… if you can find one that fits. And shoes… oh shoes… there are so many fabulous ones, but they’re all so freakin’ BIG. Needless to say… we’re in a formal(ish) attire pickle. 
Our one saving grace has been H&M… they make slim cut suits for hipster boys that fit Beau almost perfectly (minus the boobs)… but the problem with H&M is that the suits they make in nice fabrics they’ll only sell as a set (pants and jacket together) and Beau’s measurements don’t line up… she would need to mix and match a different pants and jacket sizes and we don’t want to have to buy the same suit twice in different sizes… arg.
So, let me tell you what we want, and you, oh powerful internets, will tell us where to begin our search: A nice light grey, light wool, crisp, non-wrinkly pants/vest pair over a perfectly tailored white collared shirt with a fab tie and to top it off, some kick ass men’s shoes (for a women’s size seven feet). Does our dream outfit exist? Where do we begin? And can someone solve the boobs in men’s vests/shirts problem (any genderqueer-friendly tailors in the Baltimore/DC area)?
