Tailored, lined, wool trouser suit - top quality?

Does anyone know where I can buy really good quality, women's trouser suits for work - wool or wool blend, lined and cut really well - but also with a longer line jacket - to hide the unforgiving, middle aged curves? I'm looking for dark charcoal grey or dark navy - the 'power-dressing business suit look'.

There seem to be lots available for men (like Charles Tyrwhitt etc) but all the women's trouser suits I come across either have short cropped jackets - which are useless for my pear-shaped figure - or are unlined, poor quality or don't come as a suit - just a jacket or trousers.

John Lewis used to stock a few but don't seem to have any two piece trouser suits with long-line fitted jackets anymore. I want something flattering to hide my ever expanding middle-aged figure and give me a sense of confidence.

Also, anyone know where and how I can get some of my current suits re-lined, as I hate to discard things that still look good but the ripped linings are getting increasingly difficult to hide!

The Fold are very good at women's workwear. And for the relining, what about a good drycleaner or local seamstress? (should you be fortunate enough to have access to such a treasure.)

I like Theory. The jackets are very well cut. I have some dresses from them too and they have lasted ages.

The fold is good as well work dresses, however I haven't bought anything else (jacket/trousers from them)
