Best place to buy formal skirt-suits in Dublin

A friend is looking for a pink skirt-suit something like this.

Unfortunately we can't find anything like that, as it comes from a Russian fashion website, and there was no info of the brand.
Plus I can't think of anywhere to buy a skirt-suit. I tried Debenham's, River Island, Arnott's, New Look, etc and they had nothing.
Can anyone help?
PS she said she doesn't want to buy online, because she wants to try on first.

Anyone?

This:

I see she doesnt want to buy online - but its possible that Neiman Marcus supplies higher end Irish stores (Brown Thomas etc?)?

it's a little small for her. But she likes it.

Anyone? Any places that do mother of the bride outfits?

The Turret on Castle Market (behind the Powerscourt) does that sort of thing. Very helpful too. Pricy enough though.

I looked. Unfortunately, it is too expensive. We were told Penney's on O'Connell Street had that stuff, but that's being renovated and all the dressy stuff is not there.

Bump.
Still looking.
Anywhere that sells basic skirt suits, preferably in bright colours, has a good range?

Oh lovely I'd love something like that

Well - this may be irrelevant, but...

A lot of female secondary school teachers seem to wear suits as daily work garb; I don't know where they buy them but there must be a place.
So, if you know any second-level lady teachers or Headmistresses, they would be the person to ask where to get tailored suits with skirt.

I've come across a few in TKMaxx in my time.

George White · 04-04-2016 9:14am

we're looking for something that is loud and brash but formal.

At this rate separates might work. You can form a loud brash suit from almost anywhere by being clever. I wouldn't discount charity shops either. I've seen a few Chanel suits in them in my time.

Anywhere that does a nice size 18-20 skirt and jacket separate, in pink or green or orange or royal blue, relatively cheap?

All this bumping and we still don't know what event the outfit is for!

George White · 04-04-2016 10:27pm

It's for a wedding afters.

George White · 07-12-2016 8:30pm

Bump.

I am looking for a skirt suit for myself, for a cosplay (it's a female character so crossplay) for a convention.
I'm size 20-ish, and looking for something like Kristen Wiig wears in Ghostbusters

I'd rather try out something to wear than online, as I'm a bloke, and the size difference isn't easy to calculate.

George White · 07-12-2017 9:15pm

My friend eventually found a dress.
But I'm a similar size, and I am still looking for something like this for a cosplay, for myself. Anyone?

They don't buy them. They get them free. Co-incidentally the stockists of the exclusive uniforms also stock them.

Let's just say I was actually looking for an outfit for myself when I was merely flirting with the idea of genderqueer fashion.
Then, found a jacket in Penney's for 20 quid, a skirt in Adverts for 20 quid, and voila 71062192_1585124341623179_1651925923341008896_n.jpg?_nc_cat=105&_nc_oc=AQkA2g1vhpL3FCHuxD7-cYBHVrRU2GPBIfDo8boL6-3qqAcLbMs-zZza9aa-PyV341o&_nc_ht=scontent-dub4-1.xx&oh=e1e76af086cdc7aa59012fb094d4cd02&oe=5E3A426B
