    some have elasticated backs and that will be in the description its well worth going to have a look. Some lines go up to a 7x. Large range of styles and colours. I'm expecting my second delivery any day now as the stuff is fantastic. I'm a size 28/30 so a 5X fits me really well.

    5x? They say 4x is the equivalent of a UK 28/30.
    I expect this means you have to measure yourself carefully and not trust their sizes.
    (incidentally one UK ebay reseller sell 4x as 28/30, another one as 32 - so very confusing).

    certainly measure your self and go by your measurement the prices are so reasonable who cares about being a size bigger when you have something different to the rest of the crowd

    It's not what size, is actually getting it right that matters to me. Returns to India would be very expensive!
    This is why I've never bought anything from them.
    And about the crowd... that's why I never buy anything from Evans.... you'd see it everywhere you turn...

    Hi Terra, I am so happy that TKMax are now on line. Thank you for letting me know. The only jeans I can get to fit are ones by a company called Crest, These are a USA teen girls plus size brand that come in odd numbered sizes but fit perfect for those of us with a big botty and smaller waist. I only know TKMax as the stockist of these so I will be checking back on their site to see if they get any. I do like the eylet linen jacket though! Thanks again Terra x:T
    Stock is limited, but at least something unique that you won't see one every plus size woman on the street!

    Hi, I do think some of them are pretty, I also thought some :owere a bit hippyish, but some are really nice. Do you happen to know if the dresses come in longer lengths? I am tall and need about 60" in length. Thanks x

    Hi I have it on very good authority that the so called secret Monsoon sales start in the shops on the 16th of July! If you are a 22 or small busted 24 Monsoon 22 will probably fit you.In fact one of the floaty tunic types defo will. I just love the designs and detailing x x x ;)
