Ladies- where are you suit shopping?

[tingirl]

Where have the girls on this board gotten good deals on suits? Have you ever shopped online for a suit? What's the most you've spent on a suit and was it worth it?

I have a Tahari suit that I got on sale at Macy's or Hecht's for about $120 or so. I forget how much they are regularly, but usually can find them on sale a lot. The only problem is you can't mix sizes, so the pants are a little weird and high waisted which I can't stand. But other than that, it looks good on.
I almost bought one from J Crew but would end being close to $400 and the suit was really heavy. Perfect for winter but not for spring/summer. Ebay might be a good option to get it cheaper, b/c they really fit well.

Brooks Brothers is having a huge sale right now, and they still have some good suiting left.  I think they still have pieces in many sizes of the black lightweight wool suit.  I got a navy pinstripe suit from them, but I think they're out of jackets.

The sale is 50%, which is a terrific deal for Italian wool and free tailoring (any BB store will tailor any BB suit, whether you bought it at the store or online).

The book, The Millionaire Next Door, says that most millionaires buy their suits at JC Penney.  I can live with that.

JCPenney is exactly where I found mine... finding skirted suits with long enough skirts is impossible! But their Worthington collection offers suits with skirts that go midcalf. Hoorah!

Kaufmen's has had some great sales.  I've bben able to find 350$ suits for 70 bucks.  Also like Ann Taylor, but it can get pricey.  I need petites, so I really have had much success elsewhere.

I was checking out some Tahari suits-- did you get yours tailored? They look cute online. I was thinking about going to Loehmann's to search for deals. Did you all go with wool or acrylic? I would really like to get a lightweight wool if I can- I'll feel like I'm getting my money's worth then.

Macy's always has the Tahari suits on sale. Usually, they can alter them on-site for not much extra.

I got a great winter suit on eBay for $20.  I'm a little taller than average, so if I'm buying online, I stick to skirt suits to keep the necessary alterations to a minimum.  For pant suits, I'm a JCPenney/Bon-Ton girl.  I have no need for anything special.

Even the most expensive suits look bad if they don't fit well.  A good bargain is made even better if you spend the extra money to have it tailored.

I've worked at a few law firms, and it's always frustrating to see a female attorney in a baggy, ill-fitting suit.  Tacky.
