What stores in Australia (brisbane area) sell plus-sized career wear for women? I can't find any good suits.

Question

All the stores I find really don't have adequate clothing to wear to work. I just moved here from the US, so I am unfamiliar with what stores to go to.

Additional Details

I need for the store(s) to actually be in Australia as opposed to having stuff shipped from the US or UK. Preferably, I would like to be able to actually go into a store to try the suit(s) on, as opposed to shopping on-line or through a catalog.

Thanks!

yeah i know how hard it can be to find good plus size clothing these days. i'm from Melbourne so not too sure how close most of these stores are to you ,but you can always check store locations on their sites....
1626 (which is actually now calledAUTOGRAPH)
another is BIG CITY CHIC
and MYSIZE...
And always remember to check out a few of the bigger department stores they usually have a plus size range....
Hope they help and good luck :)

Answer 3

If you are plus size, pants will not look good on you. Dresses and skirts will look much more professional and nice and won't show off anything.

Answer 5

There are a few stores around. Try 16-26 (obviously that's their size range), or there's another one out at Westfield Chermside, opposite Target and close to Pulp (shoe shop), in that section, that I forget the name of. Both of these stores carry career wear.
Don't look in the city - try the shopping centres out in the suburbs.
Good luck.
