Sorry to disappoint- not been a bad girl.

Am due to do some observational work as part of my placement.

Have been advised that a suit jacket is desirable.

I only own one pair of black trousers that currently fit so think i may need to buy suit.

Am 5'2 and size 22/24 with big Blush and norks

Ahh if it is crown court then you do need to look smarter, sorry.
Suit or jacket and black trousers at a minimum I'd say.
M&S?

Thanks freshmint. Am going to order online from m&s as in store was rubbish!

Got a couple of nice tops to go with a suit. With my norks I don't do shirts!

Evans was cheap nasty polyester. Ann Harvey didn't gave much. Going to have a look at more retailers. Any suggestions?

lol@ "I am unfortunate with tights" love that turn of phrase!

What about Simply Be? They have quite a good range (or one of their sister companies - Marisota, JD Williams etc).

The bigger Sainsburys stores have a larger size range..?

How about:

  1. A Long line jacket and trousers?
  1. A waistcoat with a matching skirt and blouse underneath?
  1. A black jacket or [[http://www.very.co.uk/south-mix-and-match-short-jacket/824581906.prd?browseToken=%2fb%2f1650%2c6659%2fs%2fbestsellers%2c0%2fr%2f100&trail=1589-6659-1642-1650&prdToken=/p/prod5992882-sku8962839 more classic.

how's it going? enjoying yourself?

dietcokes · 20/01/2011 21:42

Hi ya.

Starting tomorrow. Had zero luck finding a jacket so going to wear a smart coat and one of my new tops.

Just getting it all together. Feel like it's first day at school!

Thanks for all your advice. I'm going to get a jacket as soon as I find one that fits my chest!

freshmint · 20/01/2011 23:30

Enjoy! Do you know what kind of case you are hearing? Outfit sounds fine. I'm glad you didn't end up spending a fortune Smile

dietcokes · 21/01/2011 22:28

It was a directional hearing and over quickly.

I did feel like I should have worn suit- everyone else was.

Have a whole day there soon so am going to invest"
