Where do/did you get yours? I need one or two for interviews in April. I have looked around in dept stores and everything i try on needs to be altered since i am a bit short. I dont like it tight, i dont like my butt sticking out, I dont like the jacket short. The long jackets only good in spring/fall, I am looking to buy more of a all-season traditional kinda suit.
Where do I start :o
I am honestly thinking of just going to Saks and go broke.
Re: Women Suits!
u dont like a short jacket and u dont like a long one and u dont want it fitted.....WHY waste money at SAKS then? go to H&M, burlington coat factory, century 21....
Re: Women Suits!
macys has a suit section for petite women
Re: Women Suits!
saks fifth ave, bloomingdales, and all those big companies are really good no doubt...
But i hate getting broke so i prefer simple and plain DressBarn... Call me cheapo or whatever! But i refuse to spend over 300 bucks on a stupid suit that i will only wear no more than 2 times a month. I probably will get rid of it after 6 months anywayz...
dressbarn does have good designs no doubt....Fabrics are really good as well
Plus i would rather settle for a suit for 200 bucks buy nice shoes for 50 and cute purse. [okay i am pushing it- love sales]
I don't have a heart to spend over that much cause there are kids and people out there who don't even have food and here i am with my lovely suits, nice sandels/boats/shoes etc.
Re: Women Suits!
Nia. do you row in the boat to the office? :)
Re: Women Suits!
its amazing what human mind can think :~)
mywish ;) something like that hun.. i got nice mucles as well let me know if you want a ride
Re: Women Suits!
I'd suggest going to the petite suit section of Bloomingdales. Get a good suit that will last you a long time in a classic shape. It will never go out of style and you'll get your money's worth.
Re: Women Suits!
I dont think we have a Bloomingdale in D-town
Re: Women Suits!
Sounds like I am gonna have to make another billion trips to the stores and try everything again. I dont wanna go broke either :(
Maybe if I knew what I wanted it would help. I know what I dont want but I dont know what I want.
Re: Women Suits!
there is one on 59th and lexington.. i think thats their biggest location. but its more sort of uptown....
when you go there there are people who help you..
you tell them how you want and what you want... They are good sales people give you good suggestions
Re: Women Suits!
crap when you said Dtown i thought you mean downtown nyc :D
sorry girl can't help you there
Re: Women Suits!
Ok Detroit. Go to Great Lake Crossing Mall or to the other huge outlet mall Birchrun(?) and you'll find a nice suit there. Or
nordstrom Rack or Loehman's.
Re: Women Suits!
Express is nice, their slacks r less than $100 but a matching jcket wud cost abt $150+ tho.. i dunno if ill ever need the jkt, but ive bought the slacks..i'm short too, 5'2", i just get them altered at the dry cleaners.. xpress offers free altering for their editor pants but theres a coupla restrictions (like it takes a week or so, its only this style, etc) so best check with a sales rep there..
Re: Women Suits!
I dont like xpress, their stuff is way to tight!
Re: Women Suits!
Great lakes doesnt have any nice stores, do you mean sommerset collection? Thats too expensive!
Birchrun is too far.
I can however try nordstrom rack and i have never been to Loehman’s 
Re: Women Suits!
But they make my butt look so good 
Loose clothing, abaya, etc is fine.. but loose “suits” just look really sloppy n therefore unprofessional.. if ure wearing a longer (well-fitted) jacket over, u can wear fitted slacks underneath, whats wrong wtih that?.. im sure ull be working and/or commutting in an air-conditioned enviornment so u wont be sweating like crazy in the summer 
Re: Women Suits!
^ they look sloopy like sara said 
Re: Women Suits!
^^ right so u dont want loose clothes anymore now that sara has posted?
