Hi Kimmy, I used to go for Massimo Dutti when I was working the corporate world. I found the quality excellent and maintained over years. There is a branch in Dubai Outlet Mall which is their discount store branch www.dubaioutletmall.com I also used to buy designer shoes from this mall that had a huge discount. I think it is really worth checking out. Alternatively if you really need some help, there is always the best image consultant in Dubai who does also personal shopping, I don't know about her rates now as she has become rather famous, but she is honest and reliable. www.ranasaab.com She has some advice on how to make more than 20+ outfits from just a handful of items by mix and matching accessories. Thirdly, you can have some suits tailored, I have been recommended www.collarsandcuffs.ae/women-tailor-dubai and you can check these out: http://whatson.ae/dubai/2014/07/womens-tailors-in-dubai-handy-guide/ Good luck!

Mega stitch motor city closed on Saturday they have 2 other locations though. I'd taken clothing to get altered or changed and they've done a good job.

Hi I am also tall and have found buying from Next direct online Tall section best for decent length trousers, skirts and dresses which have best proportions for taller women. ae.nextdirect.com Unfortunately Next department stores here do not stock tall sizes. These clothes can only be ordered online direct from UK and returns policy is direct rather than in store but service is great. Pay in AED. Another option is to take a pair of your favourite trousers or those that would be perfect if just a bit longer to a tailor to make up lots of pairs in the right length. Cost effective and worth checking out. I like Mega Stitch, Apex Atrium Building in Motorcity (Same building as Mathnasium). These guys need you to take your own material I think.

also try G2000... they're quite reasonable on the prices too Do you not find to be able to wear their trousers you need to be really tall and slim I tried to buy work suits in there and I am a comfortable size 12. Even the equivalent of a UK 16 wouldn't go anywhere near me i'm fairly tall but definitely not slim... i've found their sizes ok... but i think i tend to buy more skirts and tops and dresses there than pant suits...

The offices are generally nice and cool, so regular office wear are fine, and remember to cover knees and sholders. You see people work in inappropriate clothes, but it's really not a good thing, especially if you are having a meeting or something with muslims or other from not so liberate countries.

When I used to work in the office 5 years ago I even wore boots to work in the month of June(!) because it was freezing in the office. Unless your work requires you travel around the city too often I would suggest not to disregard whatever the fabric that is not suitable for heat as you mentioned. Mine is Baltic too ??

If anyone can please help me with finding womans corporate wear. I have been into 3 huge malls for hours and found nothing that I can wear to work. Surprisingly all the material will be terrible in the heat or the legs of things are too short. I'm really stressing out and the Dubai Mall is now my nemesis!
