I'm off to London soon and wondered if there are any good womans plus size clothes shops in the capital??

Well, I'm not the best person to answer this, but I'll give it a shot.
You don't give enough information about what you are looking for, like price range, style, size, but I'll try and give you some pointers.

Many chains have large/flagship stores in london mainly in the area around oxford street. e.g.. Evans.
H&M used to have plus sizes in store, I don't know if they still have.
not sure if new look still have plus sizes in store
M&S is OK up to size 22, above that there is very little in my experience.
If you are planning to visit a store just to look at plus sizes, you may want to check if they store them, as many don't seem to want us in their shops..... doesn't look good for their image maybe..

If you are after independent shops here's one:
http://www.beigeplus.com/
(high end designer stuff).
harrods used to have a good section (again, designers mainly) but I've not been there for years

c'mon london shopoholics, I'm sure there is someone who can help here?

Anyone else feel like giving the girl in the first pic a slap? Bet she's got no idea how hard it is to find a strapless bra that does the job in a bigger size!

Babyfreckles you could try www.fullerfigurefullerbust.com i havent tried it, but my twitter friends rave about it. off to have a look myself i need new bras.

Edit to say, i have just looked and it is more a blog but has suggestions, will see if i can get an actual website from someone.

If u get in touch with Clare at lingerie heaven she might be able to help you out. I got a panache Evie superbra in a 38gg and it feels secure, stays up and looks good. Clare often has stock that isn't on the website so it would be worth dropping her an email.

Hi all - apologies if this had already been posted but I don't have time to read through all 90+ pages of this thread!

I am a size 8 E in shoes and I've been trying to find a pair of smart, black court shoes with a 2-3 inch heel that don't make me feel like my feet are being tortured. I've looked at Shoe Tailor, Viva La Diva, Simply Be, etc (all the same company) and I'm wondering if any of you know of any alternatives? I've also looked at M&S, ebay, Office, Barratts, Brantano, Ravel & all the high street brands but most of their wide fit ranges are too much on the frumpy side for my tastes.

Any other ideas would be welcome!!
