Going to job interviews in the near future. I need to buy well-fitted suits for myself. Been to the Bay the other day. Surprising to me, I couldn't find any suits of size 0.
Could I have some advice on where to get smaller-sized suits, please?

Try stores that cater more to the younger crowd. I haven't really looked here (bought my suits in Hong Kong), but I'd think places like Mexx, Jacobs, Club Monaco would have fairly inexpensive suits. If you wanted more upscale, try places like Femme de Carriere. Possibly also Benetton?

Pacific Mall.
My girlfriend is size 0 - 1 as well. Hard to find nice clothes that fit her properly. And kids clothing just won't do. But Pacific Mall has tonnes of size 0 or smaller clothing.

I agree, and that's due to the fact that Asian women, in general, are smaller than caucasian.

go to holts, you'll find plenty in 0, theory also makes 00 for you extra slim ladies.

I saw a really nice suit at Aritzia but it was expensive but they for sure will have your size. I am size 0 as well and I fit into Club Monaco and Jacob perfectly.

Job interview eh?
Make sure that they are well fitted - skin tight - spandex helps.
Show off the cleavage. You will get the job easy

Try fairweather or laura petites. When I was a size 0 (a million years ago it seems) I shopped at fairweather.

I'd skip Aritizia- they are way too trendy for buying a work/business suit and I see them mainly selling clothing for people who want to look trrendy clubbing or going out- so most likely what you buy there would be overpriced and dated very quickly.
Femme de Cariere is usually pretty good, as is Holts.
But if you have such a hard time, try and get a custom suit- alot of times it is much cheaper than a "brand name" suit and you can pick the fabric you want and save yourself the trouble of running around for weeks!
and if you don't know of any place where they cut women's suits- try asking a men;s place if they can recomend someone of if they will do it for you?
I don't see why they tailor would turn down your business anyways.
at least try calling a few mens places for recomendations

Aritzia DOES have conservative suits. The cut is really nice but they are a little pricey. They had a big sale just not too long ago. When they go on sale thats when you should buy.
Mexx will have your size. Their size 2's will fit a size 0. But I find their prices have gone way up and the quality has gone way down.

Yea, try Jacobs. Their clothes are professional looking and reasonably priced. As a bonus, suites usually go on sale for ~50% off at the end of the season (or whenever they get new inventory).

In this day and age, most people are on the heavier side, hence the reason. Haven't you seen 'super size me'?
