Women'sthings
Can any body tell moh where she should shop for a business suit? If in the UK she says she would go to House of Frasier or John Lewis.
Thanks

Possibly Smith & Caugheys on Queen St but that'll be hugely expensive 
. Probably best to head to Newmarket as there's a greater choice of shops, from cheap to designer.

Re: Women'sthings
Business suit?
My advice would be to buy mix and match separates that she will wear again and again, rather than a single suit that may only attend interviews, funerals and court !!!
NZ is definately more casual with regard to formal work wear and I've noted that even with a "smart" business jacket, women will wear quite distinct designer style skirts - sometimes with embroidery, embellishments or be cut with a uneven hem line. So don't worry about looking for a traditional straight cut skirt for your suit.
