I have an interview for an internal promotion in 2 weeks, but nothing to wear. I'm hoping one of you will be able to come up with something. It's an office job, but the office has quite a casual dress code (the only rule is no jeans and no trainers), which is why I don't think I can wear any of my usual work outfits - I feel that I should look smarter than usual, and really demonstrate that I'm making an effort.
I'm 5'4" and a size 18, reasonably big boobs (36E). Boobs, legs and bum are ok, but the problem is my stomach, which is dreadful. I could pass for pregnant if I don't dress it carefully, and on top of that I had major abdominal surgery 18 months ago and I have a long vertical scar which is still tender in places. Because of the shape of my tummy, and the scar, I tend to wear dresses rather than separates (both for work and casually). I can never seem to find trousers or a skirt with a waistband that is comfortable and doesn't add bulk - I'm more comfy in tights, leggings, or jeggings (don't even own a normal pair of jeans).
So, to sum up, I have 2 weeks to find a smart, professional outfit (probably a dress, but am open to suggestions) that will help me to impress the 2 senior managers interviewing me (who already know me - it's a small office). I have up to £100 to spend. Please help me!
Oh, and in case it matters, I'm 30
