Have been in new job for 5 months and although need to be smart day-to day, I don't generally need to wear a suit. However, there are a few meetings where all my (male) colleagues are wearing suits and it has become abundantly clear that I am going to have to dress the part. I am relatively young for my role, which doesn't help.
The problem is I am 5'3, size 8-10 but am very short waisted so the jackets or suit dresses never fit- the waist sits at the top of my hips. It always looks awful and is more than just a quick alteration to make fit.
Does any one know of any decent petite ranges?
Or has anyone tried bespoke tailoring?! I read about Raja fashions in the paper who are coming near me soon. THey are expensive but for one suit I am becoming desperate enough to be prepared to stretch to it if did actually look good on me.
