Help me find the right suit please
size 18
has to be black
washable
’Chanel style’
longer length skirt or
wide comfortable trousers
soft waistband for travel

Also need a stylish white blouse
comfy kitten black heels (not too high)

I walk with a stick mostly but crutches sometimes
budget. Not extremely expensive but can stretch a little for the right items

Thanks

Does it absolutely have to be a suit? Not separates?

A properly tailored suit won’t be washable (because of all the structure inside) - so do you actually want a suit, or maybe knitted co-ords?

Would this jacket be a possibility?

There should be trousers on the same site that would co-ordinate.

Separates would be ok but ideally a suit

Doesn’t need to be tailored would prefer the washable aspect

The sizing is under the add part.

How about Evans?

My favourite suit is actually an old Boden one. The trousers are so comfy and I get a lot of compliments about it. The trousers are the Belgravia ponte and the jacket is the Marylebone ponte. I have it in black and navy. The material is lovely and thick.

Apologies, I forgot the Chanel Style requirement
