Clothes shopping?

Losan

I struggle to find clothes I like for work (senior, professional, female)

Of course, I hate shopping in a shopping centre. Online shopping is much better but it's still difficult. The filters are about colours and patterns - where I'll have at least some preferences, nothing too bright...  What I'm really looking for is something comfortable - so would love to be able to filter by material as well. Suits just don't work for me and as a woman the dress code is more flexible than suit and tie thankfully)

I've researched personal shoppers online. I don't want to go round the shops with one. And online services tend to be limited to a small number of couture brands. Or are very focused on personal style and image. Rather than something that looks fine while being comfortable and practical. 

At the moment I cope by spending time looking through online shops and infrequently finding something I like. But I'm time poor.

That leads to three questions:

- Does any else struggle with this?

- Does anyone know of a good online personal shopping service that might work?

- Would anyone be interested in doing the research for me for a modest fee?!

    Being that as you stated that you are time-poor but cash-rich, might a personal dress-suit-clothes-maker be consideration? If so you can get measured up, be given a fabric-swatch for texture and colours, get measured up, and have a bit of information exchange about the sort of clothes you want or like, and let the dress-suit-clothes-maker do the rest ~ perhaps?
