Work wear in size 16/18

[midnightisaplace]

Hi. I will be starting a new role soon and could really do with some smarter workwear. I'm thinking trouser suits or smart dresses but would consider anything professional looking. I am 33 and a size 16/18. I don't want to spend a fortune but would pay a little more if I knew it was quality stuff that would last. Any ideas?

So,what sort of budget budget would you say per outfit (+/-)?

Have a look at Hobbs and Jaeger.

Have you had a look at Boden sale? I've just bought two work dresses and a jacket for less than £120. I can't guarantee that they won't all have to be returned but quality is usually ok.
Jaegar sale is particularly good too, but I find it all a bit grown up.
