Suits in 14Tall? Won't break the bank?

[hillview]

So I am not in my size 8s yet ... not in the 10s ... and well even the 12s are too tight! So time to break down and get a couple of suits ... need size 14 and in size tall if possible. Any ideas for where to do get something that is nice but not super $? Online? With a good return policy?
THANKS!

Victoria's Secret actually has some really cute suits. They're well-made, but not of fancy fabrics unless you lay out some serious money. Many are made by Moda, Inc. I know they sell pants in tall, and some ensembles even have Tall jackets and inseams-34" (you can buy pieces separately or together) in size 14, with some pants up to size 16. VS's return policy rocks...I've returned stuff 4 months later by mail w/ out questions. Plus, if you catch a free shipping and returns promotion, they'll send you a bag and label to send unwanted merchandise back for free. I've done this a couple times. The free ship code for purchases >$100 is "FSHP", but it didn't say free returns.

Here's a page w/ some of their tall offerings:

On a side note, if you can make it to a B&M store, I love Tahari suits. TJ Maxx carries last season's, and May Dept stores carry the current ones, although a tad spendy when new.

I've purchased tall suits from Lerner catalog before. Inexpensive, nice looking although not super high quality, kwim?
