High-end costume shops will often rent out vintage formalware. Real clothing, from estate auctions & the like- not cheap costume stuff.
I rented an old tuxedo (ca. 1920’s) and frilly shirt and such from a shop. It fit me so well I was tempted to buy it.
I'll bet you looked awesome! What was the occasion?
It was a Halloween party. My girlfriend and I dressed as dapper vampires, actually.
Fantastic. I hope you had a cursed witch hat made of skin to go with the look.
Holy Clothing has exactly one men’s top, but it does look quite nice.
Ngl, that actually does look comfortable.
It depends on your time and budget. Duchess Clothier can custom make you something, but it's not fast and it's not cheap.

You might check The House of Rose too:
Id say I’m willing to go up to $1000 on the full look, but those places, while a very good suggestion, might be a bit out of that range with prices “starting at” $2800 😅
Welcome to the lemmy.world community for Portland, Oregon!
This community has kind of been empty since it was created, I'm hoping to change that!
Unlike "other" Portland communities you may have seen "elsewhere", I believe in a "warts and all" approach. You are free to take off your Rose tinted glasses and talk about topics that are dragging our city down.
At the same time, sunset pics, snowmageddon, traffic monster, cones, that's all welcome as well. Let's collectively keep Portland weird!
2024 is going to be an interesting year politically with all the changes to city government, I will attempt to tag political threads with a [Politics] tag and encourage users to do so as well.
Other than the lemmy.world restrictions on spam, copyrighted material, and adult material (USE that NSFW tag!), there's only one real way to get in trouble here:
It's OK to go after Teargas Ted, it's OK to say Rene Gonzales is a fascist, ACAB, BLM, whatever floats your boat (WEFYB).
It's NOT OK to attack or diminish another user. Feel free to disagree, you can point out the many ways you think they're wrong, just don't start throwing perjoratives AT OTHER USERS.
