Hi Lenora!
Sorry to not reply quickly. My home computer has been on the sick side, and I just got it fixed today. I didn't realize you had sent a message. Sorry!

No I don't drive, as our limos require Class B license with passenger endorsements, like a school bus. I should have gone and taken the test with the hubby and son as I helped them study for it and knew the answers, but I really didn't think I'd need to drive. What a mistake. Someone needs to drive the limos from the storage, to the car wash, or here etc. so often it would be such a big help and time saver if I could do the transfers. But not having the license, I'm not on the insurance. We did have an older 6 pak at first and I bought a couple of suits at Dress Barn for when I'd drive it. That adventure only lasted a few months and we sold it after attempting to "fix it up" to be somewhat in line with the other cars. I did find it hard to find appropriate black suits. I think I'd do just what you suggested, buy a man's suit and have it altered for you. Men's Wherehouse would be a good place to start for a reasonable suit and their alterations aren't too pricey.
When we do trade shows etc. or I ride along for a childs birthday party or when I've done some training of prospective chauffeurs, I wear the black suit with a tux blouse or pretty collared blouse. Ricky's girlfriend usually works the booth with me and she wears a cute tux blouse and vest with black slacks. (She gets lots more attention than I do! LOL)

I notice the female drivers of other companies wear white blouses and black slacks. Haven't seen a suit on a female yet. But here in CA it's pretty hot most of the time so a jacket isn't necessary.

Have a great 4th of July holiday. We have some runs, but it's going to be nice to rest and Bar B Q tomorrow evening---that is unless someone calls! Can't plan too far in advance haha!

Hello Kathy, Just curious, but do you drive? If so, where do you get your suits? I have a few, but they are not usually made to the same standard that men's suits are, and they look bad quickly. I am almost at the point where I will buy a men's suit and have it tailord to fit me! Thanks!
