Any suggestions for places to buy blazers for more "curvy" women? Regular suit blazers are always so boxy or don't fit the chest area correctly.

Have you tried MM LaFleur? Expensive but nice. You can get a Bento box of sample silhouettes to try on for fit, and then can order off the website.

Thanks! Will have to look. I love old navy.

You can also buy a size or two up and have it tailored !

Buy a size bigger and get things tailored! I went to Thailand last year and had suits made from scratch and tailored to my body. It was game changing!

Talbots has great suits for women they have plus sizes and petite and they are fairly reasonable in price

JC Penney has really good boxers for curvy women! And pants too!

OfMercer also sells workwear for women, I haven’t tried their blazers though.

+1 for Of Mercer blazers! They are great for plus size and those with broad shoulders/chest. Very comfortable and in a few fun (but still professional) colors

eloquii.com sizes 14 and up

Too big for me, but thank you for the suggestion. I'm not plus, just curvy so nothing fits right.
