Question UK Plus Sized Stores

I know there's a thread somewhere else on the board about plus sized clothing stores, but a lot are targetted for Americans.

I'm getting really depressed about where to find clothes, I do all my shopping online.. so if anyone has any good suggestions for plus sized clothing stores that allow you to shop online, I'd be much appreciated..

I currently use Evans as my main one: http://www.evans.co.uk

Are there many others out there? I'm sick of not being able to find nice stuff in my size.. I'm a size 22, almost the same size as my age.. Be 22 in April. I have real trouble finding trendy stuff for my age, plus sized doesn't automatically make me old.

Any UK Cysters out there have the same problem or have any suggestions? Many thanks in advance.

how about New Look?? i have bought clothes in there before. Asda/ Tesco do some nice clothes, too. Not too expensive, either. Sure other uk girls will think of some other places too.

I just took a peek at the New Look website, their plus sized range isn't online and I don't think Asda/Tesco have their range online either.

I'm housebound, which is why I shop online.. but I'm sure that UK Cysters that aren't and don't know where to shop will find those useful!

Oooh thanks, PollySis. This looks promising!

I have used Next before, but their sizing wasn't that generous.. but thanks to all of you for your replies. I'm starting to feel a little better about the whole clothing issue

My faveourite at the mo is Yours http://www.yoursclothing.co.uk/

They do really nice stuff, and their sizes are quite generous in my experience. Im normally a 22/24 and i have a couple of tops from there in a size 20 lol love them.

I particularly like it because a lot of it is quite young keeps up with the trends, aswell as having just good quality wardrobe essentials.

The next catalogue has a few things up to a 26- I find their trousers a good fit but their tops rather snug.

New look dont have the best range to choose from, as nice as some of their clothes are.

As for underwear, mine have mainly been from evans or http://naturallycloseuk.drct2u.com/home.jsp . Can be a bit pricey but some gorgeous stuff

Debenhams online might be another one. My niece is about your size and she got a real bargain in their shop the other week, so they must have the curvier sizes online!

Check out Figleaves too. I get my bras from there, as I have large breasts, but the bras they have are nice looking and comfortable.. http://www.figleaves.com
