You can get your old suits taken in
to make them sexy again, any tailor would be able to do that quite cheaply.

not really worth it
one of them cost me £6, one was a cream linen job from Primark for £30 and the other was an ordinary M&S job, with not a lot of style to it.

Cream linen?
Like a Columbian drug lord?

Kitty is it possible
(since we're asking clothing questions) to get a dress let out at the bust. i.e. to modify a dress that fits perfectly everywhere but the bust?

yes, but it depends how much really
because you can only let it out as much as the seam allowance will give. So, if it's a dress with four or five darts in the bust area then it can be let out quite a lot, but if it doesn't have any, it will only allow it to be taken out by the amount of seam there is, usually around a cm or so. Other than that you can only modify it with extra panels of fabric, but depending on the dress that could ruin the look of it.
