DD (16) needs a suit. We’ve looked in several stores and the current styles we’ve seen seem to be that the suit jackets are either too short or way too long. She needs a suit with a jacket that’s a classic length, hitting lower on the hip. Of course now it’s become last-minute.
Any suggestions where to look? |

| Unfortunately I’d also suggest going to a mall with decent anchor stores (eg, Macys, Nordstrom, etc) and tailoring Unfortunately because selection in person is grim in a lot of places. |

Mango
There’s one in Penn Quarter DC |
| The Brooks Brothers in Chevy Chase has a boys section |
|
Macy's. Try Calvin Klein suits if available. Try the petite section if she is 5'4" or shorter.
If you need a different size on separates, consider asking the cash register person about doing a store lookup or ship to store. Online is a good complement to in-store product size shortages. |
Ann Taylor. Possibly Zara. |
OP is likely looking in the girls section. |
| does express still have stores? |
|
Banana Republic factory has decent options, if you’re not looking for something high-end.
Good luck! |
| Ann Taylor and Aritizia -- both have stores at Tysons. Here is a glance at the jackets at Aritzia: https://www.aritzia.com/us/en/clothing/coats-jackets/jackets-blazer |

| When my DD was in high school we bought her a suit for Model UN at Banana Republic. |
