Please help - Returning to work and need to smarten up my lumpy post-pregnancy body

Hi - I'm job hunting at the mo after nearly a year away from work (DD born in Jan) and need to find some smart clothes asap! A lot of what I currently own would be fine if I was returning to an existing job (smartish, comfortable and easy to wear) but need to find a job so am probably looking for an interview suit which can be worn as separates afterwards.

Currently a size 14/16 with massive boobs as still bf. A bit thick around the tummy and arse area and definitely need to disguise my legs too.

I've got an old Next suit lurking in the wardrobe somewhere which I'm too scared to try on as it used to be loose on me but fear I won't get it done up now. Not sure whether to go back to Next or if there's somewhere better to try? Also, the vast majority of their stuff is online and there may not be time to order/try on/return in endless cycles!

So, my requirements are basically a dark(ish) suit which is comfortable and does a reasonable job of hiding my arse, with trousers which can be worn on their own afterwards. Also wondering whether to try Ebay as once I get through the interview stage, I'm probably just about ok with the clothes I've got!

Meanwhile, I will try and shrink myself down to a more manageable proper 14 Blush
