Do I have any other options? I feel like I have more to worry about at this point than my uniform but I'm stressing out about nonetheless. I really want to look professional but it just looks like I stole some random man's blazer.
Try and take it to a store like MACYS or of similar quality. Tell them that you need to have it taken in and fitted correctly. Stores like this usually sell high price suits, and not everyone is exactly a of the shelf size. Mens Wharehouse is also a very good place to get alterations done quickly, and they always have a professional working there to make sure everything fits Wallstreet Perfect. I would try the Mens warehouse first and then a dept. store second. Good luck and Im sure you'll be looking Fine that first day. Good Luck
Also as a side note- alot of uniform companys make Blazers especially for women.
