Large Plus Size Clothing

luckylady0

Yes their dresses are very pretty - I've been ordering from Chicstar for some years and have always been pleased with the purchases. They are a wholesaler and retailer, and sell internationally which is why I've also come across their items on eBay and in online boutiques but I've preferred to buy from the source as it's been more cost effective and I've never had to return anything thankfully. I've also bought from there because they offer couture/custom designs (called prototypes) that can't be bought anywhere else.

Yes they are in China, as many consumer item manufacturers are in Asia, their address is on their Contact page.

In all the the years I've shopped from there I've never seen either of the model's eyes or the top of their heads (unless the photo is of the back view of the garment) since the photos are cropped but I've never really thought about it.

I'll check out holyclothing

Does anyone have any ideas for Halloween?
Need something cheap, quick and plus (28ish) sized that doesn't cost the same as a normal outfit!

Last year did Red Riding hoods revenge (red riding hood, with the wolfs head in a basket and machete)
Currently not had a chance to look anything up, so if it's not easy/quick would probably not bother.

Personally I've already got a goth dress from holyclothing and I'm planning to buy some halloween skull tights off ebay, to limit cost.

I bought a witches costume from Asda; a size 22 but it fits me at 22-24.

Just need green tights - any ideas???

Oh and a had that fits my big head!!!

I got teal tights somewhere, which are like dark green. From Yours Clothing (if i remember rightly), however had a quick look, doesn't seem to have any of that colour, but do have some patterned.

I'm lost. I think I might just do smart attire, and call it quits on that. Not overly well currently, and don't really want to have to dash around to try and get a costume together. Witch is basically what 97% of the females did last year. Seriously daft how many turned up as witches, and probably the same this, so I refuse to do that one.

ironically, just thinking I could do pixie/fairy I guess, and looking for wings... found these

upto 22 itsays. But I haven't used site before, so no idea if it's any good. (don't sue me!)

Just thought id post here incase anyone has any ideas. Although im not strictly plus size im an 'odd' size. My measurements are 38/28/37, however im also only 5ft1, so pepperberry dresses wont fit the length to look 'right' on me.
Does anyone know a company that caters for petite busty women? At the moment the only thing i can do is buy a stretchy minidress lol. If i wanted to wear a work dress i have absolutely no options

Small lidded jam jars needed-cheapest anywhere?
Hello, I hope this is the right place for this.

I've run out of small jam jars for apple jelly. Over time, giving them away as gifts means I now have none.

Are there any supermarket specials in screw-top lidded jars at the moment, around 340 gms or smaller? Last time of need, I bought about 40 jars of mint sauce from Tesco when that was going cheap, around 8p per jar - and listed on mse somewhere.

Is there anything similar - anywhere - at present please?

Thankyou for any suggestions.

Think this is probably even worsely chosen thread. Or does plus size mean we all eat non-stop and thus would know cheapest jars/larger quantities????

I keep going back to that site, as some of the stuff I've seen on eBay from various sellers but dearer!
I'm so tempted to order a retro styled dress, but I'd be on the upper end I guess, so worried that it would be just a bit too small.
I just can't stop looking though, what I love, love, love is that because they offer you credit, people who are plus size post their images, which is fab! I can really see how it'd look properly, not trying to stretch a thin model out in my head!
