    Thanks for that link - I've found a store near me so may be taking a (non-wedding related) detour into town soon!

    To the OP I feel your pain - I'm getting married March next year, refuse to wear a wedding dress but would like something semi-posh to make the day feel nice, and as a size 26 can I find anything? Can I heck! Have held off buying anything major though as just started going to the gym so my size may well vary between now and then.

    One thing I'll say though is I'm so glad these plus size stores are springing up as I think Evans had a stranglehold for too long and priced/qualitied to show their insane market dominance (seriously how do you sell a pair of jeans where ONE leg shrinks in the wash? That takes skill). Heck even the supermarkets are putting plus size clothes in now which is one helluva nice change.

    Hear, hear!
    When the 'quality' shops realise that bbw go to functions the same as 'normal' (:mad:) women then we may get a breakthrough.
    I've reccommended people take their mum's to the personal shopper at Debenhams to find their outfit, there's no point me doing that:confused:

    Ah well at least I've got plenty of time to do my research:rolleyes:
    and you lot here to help:T

    It can't be helping not knowing what colour you are trying to tie in with Salad.
    How about these http://www.fullerfashions.co.uk/new_customer_offer_page-pa-14-14.html?gclid=CKfp1fvQn5oCFVCS3wodRiL29g

    Looks like they could be catalogue so you can try before you buy.
