"With bridal tailoring, the emotional significance and personal storytelling are front and center," explains Farida Raafat—a master tailor and founder of Dalya, a bespoke women's suit brand.
Raafat, who previously worked in the menswear space at iconic tailoring-first maisons like Tom Ford, found herself craving a woman's perspective when it came to her everyday wardrobe and, by extension, the garments she and her friends would wear when walking down the aisle.
Since Raafat launched the brand in 2022, bespoke suiting has become the brand's bread-and-butter, and wedding suiting is coming in hot. "Every detail is intimate, as the piece often reflects not only the bride's personality but also the modern sentiment toward gender norms and personal style.
Bianca Jagger made waves in 1971 when she married Mick Jagger in a white Yves Saint Laurent tuxedo, and more recently, stars like Solange Knowles and Amal Clooney have continued to wear suits on their wedding days.
