Best place to get women's suits?

I've bought mine at Jones New York.  I've always been lucky to find one of the handful of outlet stores nearby, which seem to carry all the traditional suit styles.  I like JNY as you can buy the jacket separately from the skirt/pants - and thus, if you need a petite jacket and regular pants (as I do - which is funny, as I'm 5'6") it doesn't cost extra.  And the quality is very nice, with good fabrics and cuts.

I know people who like Neiman Marcus, as they do alterations (free?), but I haven't tried them yet.

When I was young, I just went to Brooks Brothers, but now, ugh.  I find their stuff too stodgy.  I may be older, but I don't want to look ancient.

Not sure where you live, but I got a Tahari suit at Loehman's and it makes me feel awesomely powerful.  I strongly recommend going outlet shopping if that's an option though, I have had a lot of success at brooks brothers and ann taylor outlets, and they are a lot cheaper than going to the stores in the mall.  Good luck, I'm sure you'll find something great!

I ended up finding one at Ann Taylor that fits great and doesn't need to be altered or anything.  I went to the outlets over thanksgiving and couldn't find one, but I'm going to try again on Saturday to see if there's anything new and cheaper.  Also, I reluctantly went into Brooks Brothers today and could only find black (I wanted grey).  Thanks for the help

Blue, I would think that with your size, Ann Taylor would be an excellent choice.  So glad you could find something that worked.  Funny, I was icky about black too, and, of all things, choose "platinum", which is, according to JNY, a green/gray combination.  Anyway, I wore it for my lawyering interview, and, surprisingly, received numerous positive comments.
