Sorry to hear 😔 but… the good news is there are a lot of sales this week! How about Banana Republic Factory, or Ann Taylor, or maybe even WHBM? These all carry petite sizes and have 40-50% off right now.

Loft should have affordable ones too. If preloved is an option, eBay, Poshmark, Goodwill and Salvation Army could be other sources.

Sorry OP - tough times at Verizon right now

I recently gained a ton of weight post-baby and suits and blouses look awful on me now. I just spent many days going around to different stores to find outfits that worked… I second the above comments on Loft and Ann Taylor. Banana republic is a little slim but I did find a suit in a much larger size that looked decent. Ann Taylor also has nice loose fitting tanks for under the suits. I got a great suit with a stretchy pant from Nordstrom. The brand is halogen. Highly recommend for a solid, affordable interviewing suit.
