Plus size corporate workwear So I've been getting some job interviews for more corporate environments or more "professional" roles. My previous roles were in childcare,...

I like asos. They have an excellent plus size section and brilliant sales. I also like CityChic and supplement my wardrobe from there. I usually keep it simple with a black a-line skirt, some type of singlet or t-shirt (because plus size breasts + buttons are a nightmare) and a jacket or cardigan over the top. Or I go a dress with a jacket or cardigan. I've put examples down below but don't be turned off by the price. I only really buy on sale (or I adjust the price thing on the side) on that website and this time I just grabbed the first pictures to hand.
**Examples skirts + tops:**
[Example 1](http://www.asos.com/au/ASOS-Curve/ASOS-CURVE-Stripe-Pencil-Skirt-With-Lace-Hem/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=5027876&cid=9577&Rf900=1573&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=36&sort=-1&clr=Mono&totalstyles=40&gridsize=3) - perfect for work but for an interview I'd pair it with a jacket.
[Example 2](http://www.asos.com/au/ASOS-Curve/ASOS-CURVE-Pencil-Skirt-With-Wrap/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=5027962&cid=9577&Rf900=1573&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=36&sort=-1&clr=Black&totalstyles=40&gridsize=3)
and finally [Example 3](http://www.asos.com/au/ASOS-Curve/ASOS-CURVE-Midi-Pencil-Skirt-In-Jersey/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=4817528&cid=9577&Rf900=1573&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=36&sort=-1&clr=Black&totalstyles=40&gridsize=3) - I'd personally choose a more structured jacket for a sharper look but that's me.
**Dresses:**
[Example 1](http://www.asos.com/au/ASOS-Curve/ASOS-CURVE-Placed-Digital-Floral-Print-Scuba-Bodycon-Dress/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=5008451&cid=9577&Rf900=1465&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=36&sort=-1&clr=Multi&totalstyles=274&gridsize=3) - Fine by itself for an interview or job but you could pair with a jacket.
[Example 2](http://www.asos.com/au/ASOS-Curve/ASOS-CURVE-Sleeveless-Bodycon-Dress-with-High-Neck/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=5168971&cid=9577&Rf900=1465&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=36&sort=-1&clr=Black&totalstyles=274&gridsize=3) - I'd pair with a jacket for an interview and leave bare arms or cardigan for normal working days.
[Example 3](http://www.asos.com/au//ASOS-Curve/ASOS-CURVE-Bodycon-Dress-In-Floral-Check-Print/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=4086023) - I actually own this and wear it weekly with a simple black jacket.
Also despite all my links to black clothing don't be afraid of colour - I do own [this skirt](http://www.asos.com/au//Asos-Curve/Asos-Curve-Exclusive-Pephem-Skirt-In-Winter-Rose-Print/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=4141853) and wear it weekly too.
And I supplement from here: http://www.citychic.com.au/
I find them a tad expensive and they don't really work too well for shorter girls but I like their tshirts and jackets and party dresses.

It depends on your size, age and amount of money you want to spend e.g if you are a size 26 and can't spend more than 50-60 then Target might be best. I tend to invest in good pants, a decent dress that I feel v comfortable in and still looks professional and then buy a bunch of different tops/scarfs that are cheaper. * www.Sportscraft.com.au * www.BlueIllusion.com.au * www.jacquie.com.au * www.Kiyonna.com * www.Igigi.com * www.Target.com.au * www.katies.com.au * www.oldnavy.com * www.modcloth.com

Have you looked at ASOS? They have a plus size range, much of which is corporate.
