I'm thinking of going to the UK for a few days and maybe getting in some shopping in London.

I'm wondering where you shop? For anyone who is a plus size?

Over here I can shop at Evans and Marks & Spencers. Sometimes I can get things in Dorathy Perkins but thats it.

Are there any other shops I should check out over there?

Some Etams Go Up To Bigger Sizes Such As 26-28, But The One In Dundee Closed, Dont Know If Is A Nationwide Closure, Or Our Store Wasnt That Good At Bringing In The Cash. I Loved It Personally. We Have The Usual, Dorothy Perkins, H & M, New Look Do A Plus Size, But There Standard Size Large Is An 18, More Like A 14 To Me! Debenhams Also Do Some Ranges In Plus Sizes Too.

sorry for the weird capitals, just noticed it!!

I think Etam closed nationwide, as ours closed also.... it was a really busy store... been shut for a couple of months!

H&M some stores go upto 30!

Also we have M&S they do a bigger range!

Penelope Pitstop

We also have a shop called Elvi(e) can't remember how its spelt they go upto size 26 and have some nice clothes in the Midlands not sure if its nationwide tho..

Hiya

Ive found www.simplybe.co.uk to stock some pretty stuff.

Their underwear range blows for the larger breasted lady...for them i usually go M&S....in the whole M&S shop i usually find maybe 4 38G bras....damn my funbags for being so big.

Evans is good but im an 18 and they usually sell of out 18's faster than a speeding bullet where i live. I see something i like and its usually available in sizes 16 and then 24...so i leave disappointed a fair bit.

Ok that was my 2 pennies worth

We have Next here but they only go up to a size 18.
Im all weirdly porportioned in that I can get into a size 18 jeans in some places but my tops would be a size 24. Hate that! lol
I have used www.simplybe.ie and oxendales before but am never happy with a lot of the things I get and have to send them back which sucks.
Yup I love M&S for the underwear department, they have quite a good selection.
Anyone know if H&M have a website? I tried looking last night but couldnt find anything!
