Nathalie May, a tailor who cuts for every body
Nathalie May takes Fielding & Nicholson's Brighton appointments, and she leads the firm's womenswear and inclusive tailoring. So your shape, style and gender are simply part of the brief.
Nathalie measures and fits bespoke suits, coats and shirts for men, women and non-binary clients. Most people have one shoulder a little lower than the other, and a pattern drafted for you allows for it. Buttons can sit on whichever side you choose, whatever tradition says. More detail on suits, jackets and dresses cut for women sits on its own page.
One client, a full-time manual wheelchair user, wrote publicly that Nathalie made him two shirts that fit and moved the way he needed. That is the point of a pattern drafted for one person.
Twenty years of tailoring and a 5 rating on Google
Ian Fielding-Calcutt co-founded Fielding & Nicholson in 2006. More than 10,000 garments later, the questions you bring have almost certainly been answered before. Clients rate us 5 star on Google, so you can read their verdicts before you book. The Prestige Awards also named us Top Tailor in London for 2025.
Over 5,000 cloths are on offer, and we are an official Dormeuil partner, so there is a cloth for every season and budget. Our five year guarantee covers weight change for anyone who has ordered in the last 12 months, so a snug suit can be let out and worn again.

How much does a bespoke suit cost in Brighton?
A bespoke suit in Brighton starts at £2,500, and made to measure starts at £1,600. Those are our Gallery and Icon collections, and the price is the same wherever we meet.
Bespoke
From £2,500 Gallery CollectionBespoke means a paper pattern is drafted for you alone, so the suit is cut to your body rather than a standard size. It is built on a full canvas, a layer inside the front that moulds to your shape over years of wear.
Made to measure
From £1,600 Icon CollectionMade to measure adjusts an existing pattern to your measurements and costs less.
There is a fuller guide to what separates bespoke from made to measure.
Cloth sets the rest of the price. Depending on the cloth band, a Gallery two piece runs from £2,500 to £14,355, and the making is the same at both ends. Jacket and skirt sets start at £1,241 and dresses at £527. These are May 2026 prices, and you can see prices for shirts, coats and eveningwear on one page.
Prices make more sense once you have felt the cloth they buy.
Consultations are free, with no hard sell.
Most suits take six to eight weeks, fitted where you choose
Most bespoke suits take six to eight weeks from your first consultation to collection, with two or three fittings in between. Each fitting can happen at The Grand or at home, whichever suits your week.

First comes the baste fitting, where you try the suit while it is only loosely stitched. Your tailor can still move the shoulders, the waist and the balance, meaning how the jacket hangs front to back. That is why the baste fitting is the one appointment worth guarding in your diary.
Dress for Glyndebourne, a seafront wedding or work
Glyndebourne's own guidance says black tie and Glyndebourne are synonymous (opens in a new tab), so a dinner suit fitted in Brighton can earn its keep there every summer. Midnight blue is worth a look, because under evening light it reads richer than black. Glyndebourne also suggests bringing a warm layer, so a cloth with a little weight pays off as the evening cools. See our dinner suits and evening wear for ideas.
For a wedding by the sea, ask about high twist wool. It breathes in the sun and springs back from creases after hours of sitting and dancing. Commuters to London get the same benefit, with a suit that looks as sharp at your desk as it did on the platform.
Questions we get from Brighton & Hove on home visits, weddings and fittings
Anything not covered here, ask when you book, or call 020 7167 3490.
Will I see real cloth at a Brighton home visit?
Yes, we bring cloth books to your home, so you can feel the weight and see the colour in daylight. Colours can look different indoors, so seeing them at home helps you choose with confidence.
How early should I book a wedding suit in Brighton?
Start about three months before the date. Six to eight weeks is the making time, and the extra weeks leave room for fittings around your plans and first pick of the cloth.
Can I have my fittings in London?
Yes, your pattern is shared with our showroom at 35 Sackville Street in Mayfair, just off Savile Row. Mix Brighton and London appointments to suit your diary.
Do I need to know what I want before booking?
You only need the occasion and a rough budget. If you own a jacket you like, bring it, because showing beats describing. We will guide you through cloth, cut and detail from there. Our ten questions to ask before you book help if you like to arrive prepared.
Your pattern stays on file for every suit that follows
Your first commission does the most work, because that is when your pattern is drafted and tested at the fittings. After that, the pattern stays on file, so a second suit, a coat or a run of shirts starts from a shape that already fits.
It works in Brighton, Mayfair, Cheshire, Zurich and New York, so it moves when you do. Over the years, one set of measurements grows into a wardrobe, and every piece costs less per wear the longer you keep it.

Tailoring for Men, Women and Every Body Shape
Our Brighton tailors cut for men and women to the same standard, using the same cloths and the same fittings. Nathalie May leads the womenswear side.
Alterations to garments we made are handled at the showroom, and the work is priced before it starts. The same process runs across all five showrooms, in Brighton, London, Cheshire, Zurich and New York, so a client who moves cities keeps their pattern.

Send us a message and we will come back with proper answers. Tell us the occasion and your budget, and we will explain what they can buy, how long it takes and where your fittings can happen. No sales pitch, and you are not booking anything by getting in touch.
