Update: The Fold Suit - YouLookFab Forum

I ordered the navy windowpane suit. It was absolutely KILLER STUNNING. Wow! Beautifully packaged, and flawless service. It felt extremely good on! Luxe deluxe. I got a great discount after filling out their survey. Free shipping in the UK, and to the US. Made in London.

It was returned because it was a size too big, not alterable, and cut for a curvier figure than mine. If all The Fold suits are cut like this, they are going to work really well on a curvy body type. I HIGHLY recommend them.

Inseams VERY long. Pants were full length on me, and I am 5ft 6. Good for Team Tall!

My new HUGO BOSS suit is absolutely perfect in every way. No alterations needed. I wore it again yesterday! Third time

To quote hubs Greg when he saw me in The Fold suit: "There is no comparison. I don't like the pants. The Boss suit is soooooo much better. Rather get another Hugo Boss suit".

.......which is precisely what I am going to do when I see another fun one that tickles my fancy, and is on sale!

Still waiting for the Boden skirt.

I am sorry to hear that the suit did not work out for you. I hope there is another fun Boss suit for you in the future, perhaps the denim one from yesterday?

Thank you for all the info on the Fold. I am yet to try their pieces, but I intend to once I am back in the office. I have two questions : would you say they run more TTS ( like Reiss) or small (like Karen Millen)? Also, the length of their torso/waist position - would it work for long waisted people? For example, Hobbs is way too short waisted for me - their tailored stuff never fits me, Reiss does more often than not, and Ted Baker almost always (most people complain their dresses are too long waisted). I am using other British brands for comparisons.

It's a pity, looks very nice, couldn't expect this fit.

Sorry the fit's not right for you, Angie, but glad you now know! Onward!

Thank you, everyone.

Tanya, the suit did not run small. Roomier. Broad in the shoulders. Lots of room on the thighs.

Preppy Pear

Thanks for the review! It was well worth trying! Looking forward to the ax Boden skirt and your future suits!

Minaminu

Sorry it didn't work out, I am sure you'll find an alternative soon

Good to know that the fold is OK for curvey ladies, they have some interesting pieces!

Dana

Yes, thanks for introducing us to the Fold and sharing the fit. I can see you in that suit. Too bad it didn't fit.

Janet

That’s a lovely suit — sorry it didn’t work for you, but hopefully it will for someone else here!

Cardiff girl

Good to know.Can’t wait to see the skirt.

rachylou

A shame. But the Boss suit is so perfect.

Katerina

Sorry the suit didn’t work out. I am sure you find a new fun one from Boss.
Interesting about the different brands’ fit. I really like Boss clothes, but the fit of their blazers is often not working on me. I am rather curvy… I will keep my eyes open for Fold, seems to be a great brand for suits and jackets. And now when my beloved Escada is sadly probably going under, good to know some other interesting brands. Fingers crossed for the skirt, Angie!

Nothing ventured nothing gained. Looking forward to seeing your next Boss suit…. And the lovely Biden skirt.

Jaime

As always you are such a good example Angie. Yes, some cuts don't work for some bodies. I am psychically willing a new Hugo Boss suit into your near future .

anchie

Sorry it did not work out, it looked very promising. But I just saw Boss denim blazer on sale for 149 EURO here. Tell me if you are interested. I haven't seen matching jeans anywhere.

Thanks, everyone!

Anchie, the pants of the denim suit are not available at all. I had a live chat with Hugo Boss about it. Supply chain issues I expect.

cat2

Hmm. Will put The Fold on my list of brands to try, I need a wider shoulder and more shape than Boss provides.

Kyle

Such a chic and current, yet still classic, suit. Sorry it didn’t work for you!

mtnsofthemoon

Bummer the suit did not work out. I am sure there is one waiting in the shopping "holding zone" somewhere for you. That suit is to die for and sounds like it would be a perfect fit for my curvy bottom self, but alass I have said farewell to suits for this leg of my life journey

Suz

I love that you updated us on this. So great to know that this brand is cut for another body type and is going to make some women super happy, and meanwhile, you know the maker that works for you!!

Joy

Thank you for sharing your experience with the brand. I hope you find another exciting suit soon,

Anonymous

The search is on for another spectacular suit with your name on it

Thanks, everyone! Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Next

Angie, have you tried Argent? I saw their pieces at a business women’s conference and wanted to take everything home. But the fit is rather like Theory, so it didn’t work for me. They have a lot of orange this year…..

I haven't! Thank you, cat2. I will have a squizz:

Theory tends to fit me if the fits are narrow. Sometimes they are not. Always worth a try though

I like the cut of this suit, if the pants are sufficiently fluid on me. And not too cropped:

That jacket! Hope it works!

Thanks for the review. Even if I'm not in the market for a suit, I enjoy following along! Greg is an astute advisor--so nice!

Too bad, looked like a great suit :/ Yes to the Argent though!
Looking forward to the arrival of the skirt!

Angie, so sorry the Fold suit did not work out for you. They sound nice…I’m curious if the long inseams are paired with longish sleeve length as well? I love Boss suits, and have collected several over time, but sleeve length can be an issue. I often have to size up and then narrow the torso with alterations to make them work…..
