I was just wondering where everyone goes clothes-shopping if you're over a certain size???
I used to go to New Look, but have outgrown their size 24 (which always seemed a very SMALL 24!!!). I now go to Evans and H & M (they have their Big & Beautfiul range). I also shop from the "Simply Be" catalogue, or go their website online.
Just wondering if there were any other places that I hadn't tried!
I am a shop-a-holic and this just doesn't seem like a large selection of retailers!
Thanx!

Hi, I wear a size 24 and I buy at Bon Marche and Evans,,,, QS which is reasonably priced do stock up to 24 but if you have a peacocks they are well priced and go up to size 26 in most of the ranges.....

Sometimes I get the odd thing in Peacocks - like the odd skirt here or there. I find that if I get blouses in Peacocks, little old ladies at the bus stop are always wearing the same thing I'm not joking, either ..........

does anyone shop in dorothy perkins? i used to think they were the most reasonable shop ever but now i am finding that their clothes are getting a bit, skimpy(?). maybe its because i'm getting bigger, who knows.

I'm much the same as everyone. Evans(when I'm flush!)New Look, Etam, H&M and I used to like the Jeremy Rogers + size store (I forget the name)until it closed down. I also like Simply Be (by mail) but to be honest although the designs are lovely and fashionable - the quality is a bit hit & miss!
However, I have noticed that as we are all saying the same things that we really are limited to a very small choice of outlets aren't we?
I'm sure I'm not the first person to say this but surely someone out there must see a market for fashion minded, rounder figured beauties like ourselves!!

Been diagnosed 1993 and have been on dianette since, but, have recently come off due to high BP. Hoping to start Merformin soon.
Would like to hear from any other Scottish Cysters on the subject.
