HI there. Not sure on your size and as I have been 18/20 for years I am not sure what is out there that is not for larger ladies!

Have you tried Next or Principles? M&S, Coast, Oasis, Debenhams

Hobbs is a name that springs to mind too! I think they do good tailoring. Also Wallis.

I guess Dorothy Perkins is a bit down market to what you want (I am usually mindfull of the pennies!).

Warehouse?

How did it go?

Even if you did not want it -it is good practice at least.

Did you get a suit?
