Had a look in Evans and the only thing I liked was a pair of jeans I've been trying to get from the Leeds store for 2 weeks. They are only £19.50 and I already have 2 out of 3 colours *sigh*

Been looking at crazyclearance.co.uk instead and found their Simply Voluptuous Blouse - it looks interesting but I'm worried the shape will emphasis my tum - I'm an apple shape, big boobs, big belly, smaller hips. What do you guys think?

It looks lovely!
I assume you want the print one? (the black one would probably 'hide' everything).
I think that as you can tie it at the back you can choose how tight fitting you wear it.
The good thing with all JDW's sites is that they give you free returns, nothing to lose if you want to try it.
Remember that normally their sizes are smaller than the other brands and you'd need a size larger than yours or evans.

incidentally.. isn't that Yours' main model in the video? I keep seeing their models everywhere.
They definitely set the pace nowadays.

Great codes today on Martin's weekly email: 20% off Yours Clothing, JDW/Simply Be, Evans :j

http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/deals/discount-voucher-codes

just letting everybody know, the discount for Evans is not applied to all items, some offers are not included.
The system is rather confusing. At first I went through TopCashback and it woudn't accept the code. Tried again but some of the amounts were wrong.

On top of that Arcadia's customer service are not that helpful and don't understand the system themselves. I got a lady who couldn't care less, was cut off, called back then got a guy who was trying to help but giving me the wrong information about the discounts. And both treating me like I was telling fibs trying to get an extra discount.
Unimpressed....
(Yours 1 Evans 0, on customer service as well as prices....)

Managed to order some items late last night from Evans to get the 20% off using the code in the weekly e-mail. Added items to basket, and then when I went to process the order found that some items had now gone out of stock. (All items were already sale items) So then had to go back and find some different items to buy. Had to get to £40 to get the 20% discount.

Due to the time it took to find other items that I wanted that were in stock, it was gone midnight when I went to order. Only to find that all items had automatically been reduced by 15%. This took order below £40, so had to add another pair of sandals. :rotfl:

I then used the 20% of code, and order was reduced to £34. One dress, one pair of trousers and two pairs of sandals.

Well pleased. (Delivery was £4, but free returns to shop for most items).

:j well done!
I think they are trying to keep up with Yours, who sells some of the same brands (under their own label though), so it's stiff competition for them....

I must say I've never had any problems, it was probably a technical itch in my case, which can happen, but I was very disappointed by the attitude of cs.
I buy almost exclusively online, for the whole family (lazy bunch we are ;-) so I deal with a lot of companies.
Had a similar problem with an offer from a health and beauty store, but got it sorted quickly, so expected the same.

But I think I'll shop there again, but not bother phone cs if I have a problem...

Read on sainsbury's page on facebook that they are doing away with the grace range of clothing due to what it suggests is a lack of sales, I have only seen it in one out of about 15 store in west yorkshire that I have visited that actually sell clothing. From what I saw it was really nice and not too expensive. FB suggested will be extending tu range to a 24 in selected styles

I don't see much clothing at all in our Sainsburys, is Grace a plus size range?

Poorly promoted, I've never seen any in my local either.
