I'm being interviewed for a documentary on Monday and not able to go shopping before as ds1 has chckenpox. Most of my work type clothes are on the shabby side so I need a smart top/trousers or something that will be reliably delivered tomorrow. Any ideas?

Asos do same day/next day delivery and stock loads of brands. To avoid not fitting I would tend towards a dress instead of trousers unless there is a brand/style/size you know will def fit properly. Tailoring is so hard to buy without trying on imo

What about something like this in black

Coast one is less risky for norks, but think you'd be ok with shirt as very narrow back

You need this dress. I have it and I cannot tell you how well it fits- really good cut and fabric weight. I am massive of nork, and it works very well.
