    I've ordered some jeggings too, as well as the work trousers. Couldn't find any tops I liked though. Do they do free return postage ? Just realised our local store has now closed.

    I think they do, not 100% sure. I will update you though as I need to return stuff and am going to select the collect + method. It doesn't say anything about charges in the t&c? I will request a refund if they charge me though, as the item is faulty rather than unwanted.
    Still looking for the plot...... Anyone seen it???

    I got confused, are we talking about Evans? If so, return postage is free yes, but if you have to return your whole order(I once ordered an *awful* dress) they only refund the item not the delivery cost.

    Many do, but it's actually illegal, not compliant with distance selling regs. :(

    Still waiting for my order from Evans, but New Look have a 20% off code for 2 hrs only. 12-2pm for anyone who is reading this in real time. Doesn't appear to be off sale stuff, but they have some nice plus size stuff currently. (and bags shhh, don't tell anyone I've bought more bags!)

    Redeem your offer at http://www.newlook.com by entering FB2M2002 when you check out.

    Some nice stuff, similar to what Evans used to have. :)
    Some of those dresses are a bit expensive though, I got myself a Praslin dress from ebay, prices seem to be lower there.

    Yeah i really needed (very) lightly padded ones, i don't know how people can wear the really thin ones, too cold for that buisness.

    Thank you for the links, i wouldn't go for a used one so never really thought of ebay (silly me, i look on ebay for everything else, just didn't think!)

    Thanks for the advice ladies!

    It is surprising how many new bras are on ebay, also a huge number of women do buy a bra by size, and then when they get it find it's totally the wrong size but they can't/don't return it and just sell it on ebay.
    A waist is a terrible thing to mind.

    incidentally, although many companies state they can't take returns for lingerie items for hygiene reasons, it's actually illegal because DSR has no exception rule for 'hygiene' reasons. There are some exceptions, but not many (I believe nylon tights are exempt).

    ebay doesn't allow used lingerie for sale, AFAIK (although adult themed dirty panties always seem to find a way....).

    The new look dress range I hit up on sale usually. There was one particular dress I really liked, but £40 is far too much. I need more than a 20% discount for that :D

    I did get a nice dress, I think, from their sale collection, not 20% off, but it was 1/3 of the price. Trouble is, it's completely out of stock now, so I'm a little doubtful that I will get it. I tried to jump the fulfilling queue on it, and go next day delivery, so fingers crossed. (was low stock when I bought it)

    Bras on ebay. It's most surprising how many there are, new. I tend to buy Yours colourful non-wired ones when the're on offer, outside that usually trawled ebay.

    I just struggle with ebay searches now. I search something as simple as 28 dress and get a whole host of other stuff mixed in. so things like tunics, which are not dresses unless you like babydoll length things. I look at some of the titles and there's no mention of 28 or dress. Usually do a few pages, then give up. It used to be easy to search wildcarded.
