I'm not sure if that qualifies... I'll try to find more ^^

ah, not the right color my dear, but thanks for looking so fast! Keep it up! I appreciate it!

Pat's Tuxedos, the "blue" section.
I didn't see anything there that would go with your gal's dress(quite a tough one to pin down, especially since it looks so different in all three pictures), but since you've presumably seen the dress in person, you might see something that would work.

I also found an "electric blue" one on there that ALMOST looks right. And that's about all that turned up on eBay.

Nothing else turned up online that looked trustworthy. Check around Goodwill and other secondhand stores, and try poking around people's attics(if they'll let you). I don't know if you'll find anything, but you're more likely to get it if you look locally. That sort of aqua-blue color isn't popular on guys these days, alas.

This really isn't a tuxedo post, but I just remembered something I saw on the Golden Globes a while ago and I thought I'd post it. :p

I thought that perhaps a regular tuxedo with blue highlights might look nice as well. Blue ties and stuff like that are probably easier to find than a blue tuxedo.

I found these: here

Also, have you thought of having a suit tailored? most of the time you can get one made for about as much as you'd pay for a specialty suit, and it would be exactly what you want.

You could also look for uniform supplier, and see if they have any waiter uniforms in the color you want.

Most likely not what your looking for but...Clicky. Probably not the right colour, but its flashy =p And it would go with your girls dress.[/url]

You might want to concider a zoot suit like this.


or a blue pinstripe on ebay with a buy it now option.

(I don't know if some of these have been posted already...)

Choice 1

Choice 2

Just the Jacket

This is not ALL blue, but it's kinda chic

I found a nice blue vest but you probably want the entire tux blue?

Hahaha...I just found this one amusing.

[Rachel]

you know TWW, personally i think you'd be better off going for a colour other than blue - as if you try and match her dress and don't make it then it will look disasterous! However, if you choose a colour to compliment her dress (navy blue, or another colour completely) then it is more likely to be a success. Especially as if you get really close but not quite it will be even worse - the only way to actually match fabric like that would be to hold them next to each other... or make it out of the same fabric.

Anyhoo, that's my two cents, you dont have to listen to me!

[Twinkle]

I completely agree with Rachel. I mean you don't want to take all the attention off your date after going to so much trouble to ask her!

[Rachel]

completely unrelated to the upstaging her thing (which is bad form btw! especially when she has a dress and figure as pretty as that!) you really dont want it to go wrong, which it is highly likely to do if you try and match the colours. complementing colours ftw!
