where can you get size 20+ work trouser suits?

And I mean size 20+ for short people and not someone that is 5 foot 10! For 5 foot 3 big ladies and not tall bog ladies. I normally get from M&S but they have had nothing suitable for months and months - for obvious reasons I don't want bolero or nippy jackets just traditional boring work suits. Surely bigger ladies do have somewhere to buy smart work clothes (though I have no idea where this is). Thanks

Elvi - online only - some lovely stuff, fit can be a bit off at times
Ann Harvey - online only, now part of Bon Marche. Still Polyester.
M&S - good for 'standard work wear'
Evans - sometimes
Stuff from Simply Be/Yours is a bit polyester
Taking shape - if you don't mind a little less structured
Next - hit and miss
Debenhams - up to 22 in the Collection stuff

Depends on how much 20+ we're talking as Dorothy Perkins goes up to 22

Very diplomatically put. 20 or maybe 22 but expect in some scrimpy shops even bigger. Currently got tight 20 on.

April I'm a 20+ myself and was struggling to buy work suits. My younger work colleagues told me nobody buys suits much now and most wear dresses with jackets instead. I got some lovely smart dresses in debenhams and one blue jacket and one red in 22in principles. I love it as no more ironing shirts/blouses for work.

I agree, dresses are good. When suits are 'out', I buy mix and match jackets and skirts too. ...

Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately for me it really does have to be a trouser suit - I'm not getting my legs out for anybody.
