    i think Bravissimo is only underwear but may be wrong, they were last thing i knew. My mum goes to a place called Elvi, but i don't know how nationwide they are or if they are online... you could get some cheap bundles on ebay/freecyle if you're not fussed about second hand

    my mum uses Elvi too, for smart stuff (weddings and posh functions) they are good for her - she is in her 60's and always finds an outfit for a special occasion - in my opinion if you are younger than my mum you may find them a bit old fashioned and formal.

    Thank you.
    I'm after smart/casual everyday stuff. I'm stay-at-home a mum of young children but i don't want to be frumpy.
    Also, can anyone recommend any good websites for dealing with my new large body shape? I've seen some but they seem a bit dodgey. I just want somewhere to find info/forums on being large and happy with it.
    Weightloss isn't really an option for many reasons which i won't bore you with.

    Larger Asda stores have started a plus size range which is lovely and reasonably priced. Also H&M.

    crazyclearance.co.uk (simply be's, JD williams', marrisotta's etc sale items ;) )

    new look, mk one (bit pants though), asda to a degree
    If my typing is pants or I seem partcuarly blunt, please excuse me, it physically hurts to type. :wall: If I seem a bit random and don't make a lot of sense, it may have something to do with the voice recognition software that I'm using!
