I’m still waiting for my Frederick’s of Hollywood answer.

I'm only a few years late, but Cavour has women's clothing that might be right up your alley.

You mentioned a suit that was made for you that has become too tight: in all likelyhood it has excess fabric inside to be able to be let out. It is very standard (although probably not as much for womens suits, although I think a custom one will have it). Take it to a tailor!
And be mindful off what a tailor can do if the fit is off. Size up in pants that are too tight in the hips and have a tailor take the seat in. You could even have flair & widelegged trousers tapered if you find a pair that you love quality-wise.

Looks pretty good, thanks for recommending - and the sale prices are pretty great, would help to set off the tailoring costs. I know Agnona is decent quality, which they carry. The footwear probably not so much if you want to get anything done, with the exception maybe of Tod’s.

Good suggestion, thanks. I’ve recently found someone too to take on some things so will see if they can let out the arms a bit.

I'm so sorry to even be posting here.. in a menswear forum about women's clothes. It's just that I cannot for the life of me find any reliable sources re: high quality office attire for women. In the years since I've left school, I've gradually moved away from the BR, Ann Taylor etc. towards Theory and Brooks Brothers (only to discover, after some time has passed and after reading some posts here) that those aren't high quality either. I don't want trendy, I want conservative office attire - including suits. If your favorite high quality men's attire manufacturer also has a women's line, can you please share?

Thank you, and I'm very sorry if I'm in the wrong place completely for this.

Kashiyama does MTM for women not sure if that interest you or if you already know of them.

This thread is years old, but those who are interested in the subject should check out Female Fashion Advice on Reddit. Since that subreddit is mostly made up of women professionals, I think you'll get better advice there.
