XP: Where to find a suit for interview?

I need to find a business suit, asap. Suitable for an interview. I'd love to not break the bank. My old suit from five years ago isn't cutting it. I have trouble with finding the right fit... I'm not quite plus sized, but I'm a curvy 12, and a new mom at that, lol. I need to be comfortable in it, or I won't feel comfortable during the interview. Thanks for any advice.
Abbie 6/6/10 and DD#2 due 2/20/13

  • Macys, Ann Taylor, Banana Republic
  • JC Penney is very affordable and they often have coupons :)

  • My current favorite one is from The Limited (and I'm curvy too). I have another from NY & Co. It was cheaper, but it doesn't fit as well or look nearly as nice.

  • I just bought one at JC Penny about a month ago and it was reasonably priced and it's comfortable as far as a suit goes.
  • I got a couple of new suits from TJ Maxx last year that are pretty decent.  And too, if you're looking to not spend a lot of money, try the clearance racks at the department stores.

  • I got a suit set at RAC it's Anne Klein for $99 (jacket and pants). I had to get the pants shortened, the top fits perfectly though.

    I also bought a suit from Ross, it's Calvin Klein for $39.00 (Jacket, no bottom).

    I like Ann Taylor and Banana Republic suits but they are expensive, if you can get them on sale, they are good quality suits.

  • Kohls

    Macys

    JC Penny

    Ann Taylor

    TJ Maxx

    and Good Luck!

  • JcPenny- The Worthington line has lots of suit seperates at reasonable prices that fit well.  I'm also a curvy 12/14 and I found the Worthington suits fit great but also look great on me. As a curvy woman, I have my fair share of suits that look frumpy or are rather tight collecting dust in my closet

    For a little more money and quality the Jones Wear at JCP line makes excellent suits as well. 

  • JC Penney, Ann Taylor Loft, or Banana Republic are my first places to look.
