I assume from your avatar that you carry a PPK. Is that correct?

A PPK is not a heavy gun and when it comes to deep concealment in women's dress clothing, light is best.

If worst comes to worst you can thigh carry. I doubt anyone will be paying too closely of attention to your thighs when the S is Hing TF and you are drawing your gun.

When I worked in an office (the first year of my concealed carry life) I carried a Colt Mustang (not much larger, or heavier than the PPK) and I carried 4:00 in a clip on IWB holster. I could clip it on the inside of any skirt or slacks because the gun was light enough it would not pull on my clothes making it uncomfortable.

I never did any kind of appendix carry because bending over or even sitting in my office chair would make the gun dig into my stomach making it very uncomfortable.

On some occasions (especially if presenting in a suite) I would wear a shoulder holster. It was very comfortable for sitting all day and quite concealable.

For something as light as the PPK you could easily get away with a nylon or something softer on the skin. Perhaps a suede leather.

Smart carry is certainly an option if you would prefer though I never tried it myself (yet).
