    Hi All, Hi TerraFerma! I have good news for taller women up to a UK size 24... I have it on good authority(Director Level) that Long Tall Sally are planning to introduce sizes 22 and 24 to their Autum Winter range for the first time!!! Yippee. I have also been working on a few things of my own I am about 6 to 8 weeks away from making a few of you smile. I will pop back on before then to see what we are all doing and report on any FAB FINDS xxxx

    Has anybody seen any baggy (below knee) denim shorts about (sz 26)? Think skater/rocker look rather than fitted! My old pair have worn out and i'm desperate to find some more!

    Bonus points if you can find me any baggy jeans for £20, too ;)

    Found few bits on simply be - shorts hard to tell from the pic though? Baggy jeans there's these or these I'll keep an eye out though.

    On a separate note I was in Tesco this afternoon & I picked up a nice cotton top it's with the summer stuff & swimming cossies . it's a loose flowy type thing with a drawstring neck, comes down to below my bum. They had them in lots of colours , pink, blue, green, black, orange & white. Quite a thin material but a lovely cover up for the hols at the beach or pool. An XL would fit up to a 30 I reckon and it was only £6 . I've had a look but I can't see it online
    Booo!!!

    Curvety have some nice looking jeans in a size 26. They are reduced to £39, not quite as MSE as you would like, but they would be a 'wardrobe staple' as they say!

    I'm afraid they'd need to have more than 20% off for me to shop with them these days, their quality isn't as good as it used to be and their prices are so high compared to other high street shops.
    A waist is a terrible thing to mind.
  • Just doscovered this thread, what a great idea, not had time to go through it all yet.

    I like some of the tops from Yours, does anyone know if they are true to size. I am usually a 20 but sometimes 18 - just wondered if their things come up smaller or larger.

    Thanks again for all the ideas.


    Yours clothes is a bit of a mixed bunch because some is Yours stock and some is ex new look/evans stock so it depends really, but as a general rule if the label has been cut out, means its ex new look or evans. I found their 24's (yours own range) to be quite big on me, i fit a 22 top better from yours.

  • also try www.sizeup.co.uk
    its a sister site of Yours, but also does mens plus size clothes
    it also has sales, so before you buy something on Yours, check size up isnt selling it cheaper, i saved £5 once by buying on size up

    Supermarket Quality at M&S prices...
    Ann Harvey has similar prices and much much higher quality (sometimes I don't know what excuse to find to get rid of something I got tired of....)
