Has anyone got feedback on Bonprix? I had never heard of it before, came accross it while looking for a winter parka. I ordered 2 different ones - very good value if they turn out to be nice! I received an email acknowledgement of my orders. Do they also send dispatch emails?

Very excited to have found a "new" shop! I hope they are good.

I've used them a few times, clothing is ok, sizes can sometimes be a bit small, but I find returning items can be a pain. Either have to arrange for a courier (usually at times when I'm out at work though) or send back at post office at your cost (which is then refunded back to you)

You can find some great bargains on the site and they have a great range of clothes that aren't dowdy or old fashioned.

Pyjamas!
I don't normally buy pyjamas as I like a loose fit top, which means the trousers drown me. I found lovely fleece pyjama bottoms in Asda yesterday, sold as separates for just £6. I think they only go up to 20-22 but the size feels quite generous and I think I could have gone down one. Love them so much, I want to go back for more. (I still haven't got dressed don't want to take them off!)

I bought 3 pairs of these pj bottoms last winter and 3 vest tops, a fantastic buy as I'm still wearing them now (well not this minute as I'm at work ) They wash well, haven't shrunk or lost their shapeand are still in really fab condition. I was going to buy some more this winter but really don't need to :j

Girls - I need you're help!

I'm a size 24 on the bottom and looking for two pairs of new trousers but cannot find them.

Any suggestions are welcome!

Grey wide leg trousers - I am looking for really smart grey trousers for work...wide leg suits my style better (I've looked at Ann Harvey, Evans, Marisota, Debenhams etc)

Casual trousers - these can be grey or black...something that I can wear at the weekend. only way I can describe what I am looking for is the same idea of when smaller girls wear jeans at the weekend...something you can dress up and dress down. due to me being a size 14/16 on top and 24 on bottom, jeans just do not work for me as I have a small waist!

Please share your ideas...I need help

Have a look at http://www.hm.com - they do big sizes at decent prices and there are some discount codes around at the moment.

These might be suitable for work - http://www.hm.com/gb/product/94271?article=94271-B

Do you need full height wellies? I am a self confessed welly hater, find the cold,and get :mad: when they stick in the mud and you get a muddy wet sock when your foot comes out without it! I have got myself a compromise which are similar to these: http://www.cottontraders.co.uk/boots-/faux-fur-lined-boots/invt/aq10502/&bklist=icat,2,

Mine are all black. They are cosy and warm. The zip makes them easy to put on and take off. OH got them for me in Strencham services (southbound) for £25. So I would hazard a guess they can be found elsewhere cheaper than the cotton traders website. HTH

I became too big for wellies (even wide legged ones) a long time ago, and this was a distinct disadvantage as I am 'horsey' - the solution is what they call a 'stable boot' - trade names like 'Muckers'. They come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, some zip fastening, some velcro, some lace up, but all with a waterproof 'foot' area and normally a different fabric for the leg, which provides some degree of protection from water and/or mud.

Would these work for the casual trousers you want?

Thanks for posting those links, Violetta. I really need a winter coat and these ones are in my price range!

Just wanted to say the True coats are lovely - my Mum bought me 2 of them 2 years ago, a black one for everyday and a purple one for 'best' - both of them were like a wool material and 2 years on they're still good as new. Lovely fit and nicely lined as well
