I haven't worn a a suit for ages as I work in an industry where a dress or trousers and a top will suffice for most things (and work from home most of the time anyway).

Am going to Abu Dhabi to run a training course in March (will be staying and working in the same hotel so not so worried about the heat as everyone tells me the air conditioning is set to cold). Can anyone help me find a good trouser suit - I am 5ft nothing so has to be Petite. Size 12 hour glass. Not sure what my budget is - not cheap but not stupid money either. Hopefully the same suit with different tops will suffice?

Thanks!

A dress and a jacket? You can wear an existing dress and just buy a jacket?

My dresses are all a bit smart casual (think fat face wrap dress I wear with boots and tights) so can't really see a jacket working with any of them.

And I think I would be happier in trousers in the Middle East.

I have a couple of suits from Banana Republic, and don't find them horrendously priced

suits
petites

They have some nice dresses too, which could be worn with a suit jacket

They do petite. I always find next pretty good for work things and quite reasonable too.
