I'm size 20. I can't find any work wear in Yours or Evans. Next had a couple of jackets in an 18 but they pull.

Is this my punishment or do fat people just not wear suits?

Next goes up to a size 26 online, order before 9pm and it's in store the next day to collect. They've got some great work wear.

I’d also suggest Navabi. If you need a shop Beige in London have a great selection and do mail order as well.

For other mail order - Marisota, Artigiano, Box 2. If you can splash the cash - Marino Rinaldi / Persona.

I’m a 26 /28 but prefer tailored loose dresses and coats.

I also live in M&S Jersey stretch trousers, black T-shirt’s and jackets.

Where are you based? I have lots of 20/22 that no longer fit me.

Pepperberry can be great for people with curves that mean they're not a consistent size all over. They have different cuts for different body shapes so a smarter fit all over.

I bought a really nice suit in M&S a few months ago. Size 22
