Thanks for your many suggestions. I have had Miracle suits before--I didn't think they came in long. I'll check all the links. I almost bought a long torso from J Crew a couple of years ago online, but hesitated too long and most of the long ones were gone.
Several years ago there was a store in Valley Fair that advertised custom made suits. You went in and tried out all different parts and they came up with a model for you, then you picked a fabric. Well, they were out of the fabric I wanted, so I got a print that was too bright. Also, the fit wasn't any better than some of the ready-made suits. That store is long gone anyway.
This is one area where I know the stores will run out early, so I need to move quickly. Can't stand to try them on in the stores anymore--so depressing.
Oh, and Queen Mum--I agree with your sentiments. I did get an email from my son in Chicago yesterday--he said they had several inches of snow on the ground. So, things could be worse.
