Plus size interview outfits

Please help me. I have an interview for a job next week and have nothing to wear I don't even know what people wear to interviews anymore. I have been in my job for 12+ years and it's a casual office so have no smart clothes at all it's jeans, leggings, dresses and anything I can hide myself in. I'm a size 24/26 and 5ft 8 in have very chunky legs so slim/skinny/straight fit trousers have never ever been my friend. The budget isn't massive perhaps £150 for the complete outfit but less if at all possible. Any pointers and suggestions would be gratefully received. I am regular I just name changed because I don't want work finding out

These trousers from Next are a godsend. They are very smart and flattering on, but best of all, have an elasticated waist.

What shape are you? I am an apple shape and at my heaviest a dark plain shift dress, a nice chunky silver necklace, with a long fitted cardigan in a bright contrasting colour was my go-to smart work outfit.

@Maraki I'm mostly rectangular but slightly bottom heavy so perhaps a rectangular pear I think the dresses would be too short on me for an interview but would absolutely wear them in usual life.

@SkyeT do they come up big by any chance?

I found them to be quite forgiving size wise.
