Professional Ladies: Where do you buy your suits/shirts?

[BraveMaroon]

The best advice I can give any woman when it comes to buying business apparel: shop like a man.

If you ever go to the Men's suit department of, say, Macy's - they have someone there ready to help you find the right suit who knows the floor and the inventory and can probably tell what size you take by looking at you, and as soon as you step out of the fitting room, a seamstress waiting to mark and tailor the suit for you.

Women beat themselves up for not fitting right off the rack.

First, find a store you like and enlist the sales people to help you. Then find a good seamstress, buy with the expectation that you'll be visiting her soon after, and develop a relationship so that if you need a quick turnaround, she'll be glad to accomodate.

And if stuff doesn't fit off the rack, don't blame yourself...
