Hi folks

I wonder if you could help me please? I would realy like to buy a 3 in 1 jacket (the outer layer is waterproof, inner layer is a fleece, both can be worn separately or together) but am having trouble finding a good quality one in a larger size. I'm a size 20 - 22 and have been unsuccessful in my quest so far.

Any ideas please?

Thank you

I'm pretty sure that I saw jackets like that in Bon Marche. I think there was 2or 3 colours and they go up to 24. Not sure about price but they are not a dear shop and quality is fine. Bought from Daxon and the quality was very poor.

Just checked the website and here you are.

Think there is a bigger selection in store.

Hi I'm looking for a new ladies watch (preferably with a red strap) and am struggling to find one with a long enough strap to go round my wrist (approx 8inches), do any of you have any suggestions where I might find a mid-priced one? I've looked on Amazon but most of the descriptions say 'standard length' which I'm pretty sure doesn't fit me!
Thanks in advance x

Hi just wanted to say thanks for all your suggestions, I managed to get a lovely Fossil watch from House of Fraser, it's really unusual and fashionable and fits perfectly!
No excuse for being late anymore though!!!

Thank you to all for the responses about the 3 in 1 jackets.
Much appreciated.

Can i ask all..say there was a perfect top for you what would it be like?and why? For example would you make it a certain length to cover your tum or bum? Would you have low v necks to lengthen your neck and draw eyes to the best bits? Long/short/3/4 sleeves? Longer at the back/front? Made out of what?why? ... I ask only to give me a better idea for my designs. Kindest regards me x

My perfect top would be a tunic style but without the ties at the back. It would be long enought to skim over my hips and big tummy but not so long as to make a 5' 4'' person look dumpy. It would come in a range of colours/patterns so I wouldn't have to choose just from the two colours which someone has decided are fashionable this year. It would have 3/4 length sleeves & it would celebrate my curves by having quite a low wide neck, but not a v-neck as I don't like them & as I'm not very tall, they usually fall too low even for me and I LIKE to have a bit of cleavage on display! It would be made in a quality jersey or that stretchy stuff I can't remember the name of that never needs ironing with a touch of lycra so that I could wear & wash it regularly without it going saggy after a couple of months. It's sounding like an impossible dream!

I found this one on Amazon not sure if it's what your after though it is red, but I think the style is one you'd either love or hate.

its not impossible at all ! Do you find the jersey viscose is flattering? I feel that most times it sticks to bumps rather than flow. What if it was a dressy top done as you said with a chiffon outer over a slinky inner? And would the 3/4 sleeves be flared or what? I ask as i am wanting as many suggestions and want to know what other women want to make a unique design collection of my own. Thanks for answering and keep suggestions coming. They are all taken, noted and then in the new year i hope to be able to showcase some designs somewhere, and women can vote which ones should go into production..so its not impossible xxxxxxxxxx:t

I'm with out on most of this!
I like ties, in some cases. And I love good quality viscose, Anne Harvey's use a lot of it.
It needs to have some shape.
