Where on line would I look for a size 20 smart interview suit?

Help! Any ideas anyone? The job description requires somebody "well groomed" (customer facing job) although there will (I think) be a uniform for staff, I need a really good suit for the interview (and obviously future interviews, in the fairly likely event I don't get this job!) :)

ASOS have workwear in this size, but not a suit - not sure if a blazer over a dress would cut it given the job spec...

Try Next. Loads of separates that can be matched.

Marisota have a whole tailoring section.

Simply be also has a tailoring section and some nice stuff. I'd also have a look at tk maxx, Mango's plus size range and maybe m&s.

Boden ?

Thanks! Next is looking most hopeful - no suits or jackets on Bozen and Marisota don't deliver outside the UK unfortunately. Can't find anything decent where I live!

Planet?

they deliver to EIRE, Belgium, France, Germany, Netherlands and Spain.

austin reed do worldwide delivery, but the choice over size 18 is a bit limited.

Thanks Traviata will have a look. Have also been recommended a shop to try semi locally (well a 40 minute drive away)... Might be easier to stop eating for a few months and wait to apply for anything til I'm a size smaller!

Boden do a range of smart work wear and go up to 22.

MrTumblesBavarianFanbase · 02/10/2014 09:57

Thanks Poly - they have nice work wear, but I think I need a suit or blazer for an interview, which Boden don't have in a 20.

Are jackets all cut quite short atm? clueless I have a lovely long black jacket in my wardrobe from about 15 years ago Blush and was hoping for something similar as it was so flattering (unfortunately its much too small now) but I guess its very unfashionable atm - everything seems to be cut at waist lenghth, which is hard to wear when you aren't slim!

this jacket would work well with a grey or black skirt.

M&S have loads, actually.
