    I don't have to dress up for work so much anymore - but I still always keep an eye out for clothes that fit me right - very rare to find a good jacket that fits my biceps and doesn't threaten to have the shoulders rip out. I can't say I've found one particular brand of anything so I can't help except to say just keep trying things on. If its a good make and fits decently, it can be worth spending the money on tailoring a few good basics.

    Great question. This has always been address for men. Even the site used to have clothing sponsors for muscled men, but I've never heard a of such needs being addressed for women.

    Seems like fertile ground for a designer. Would be interesting to see a fashion show with female bodybuilders.

    invest in finding a good tailor. larger petite sizes sometimes help me since i'm very short but for the most part, i have to have things altered to fit.
