Holy Clothing have a discount code available today only, $10 off if you spend $50, it's on their Facebook page. I'll put it on the codes board aswell.

Thanks! The code is 2929, enter it at checkout.

I just had my first order delivered from HC, two dresses and a skirt. They arrived in 4 days from India via Fed Ex, with no customs charges :T
The clothes are lovely, the skirt (Isabella) is long and very swishy. One of the dresses (Alexis) fits a little tighter than the other (Timandra) around the hips, but everything fits and they will see a lot of wear.
I would definitely order from them again.

I;ve got my parcel from Yours today

Their sizing is very random! I ordered a black asymmetric top in size 20, a white top with split shoulder detail in size 20 and a grey t-shirt with sparkly print in size 22-24.
The black asymmetric top seems big, its either VERY generously cut or labelled wrongly, but it sits nicely so I've left it cos it looks fine. The t-shirt is a bit more like a 20 but the material is weird - its extremely see-through :rotfl: and the 22-24 t-shirt is quite big but not what I'd expect from a 22-24. Again though, it looks and feels fine so I'm keeping it. I have other stuff from Yours and it never fits exactly right - it always seems miles too big!

I don't like Yours clothing either, their quality is appalling! Worse than Primark, yet more expensive!
They seem to be very successful though, probably because young women cannot find fashionable clothes easily, simply be have some but everything else for them is a 30+ graveyard...

And the UK is much more advanced that most European countries. The USA are much better but many companies don't ship abroad.

Just a word of warning with Holy Clothing I received from Fedex a bill for my customs and VAT charges.

Oh dear! How long after delivery of the clothing did you receive the customs & VAT invoice? I know some courier companies do this, I had a similar situation with an item couriered from Hong Kong by DHL. I thought I had no charges to pay, but the bill came from DHL a couple of weeks later.

I personally don't use them but here's for the people who are interested (if you have never bought anything, the quality is very poor in my opinion, sizing random, returns not free.....but at these prices it's worth buying!).

Hello!

I just wanted to let you know that plus fashion is going to play an even more important role in my life as I will be working in this sector. This means that I will be following UK and USA plus size fashion more closely, and bring you the latest news on good deals!

Here’s an update to the directory section: two ebay shops, and two plus fashion news websites:

US Fully figured fashon week
http://www.fffweek.com/la.php
NYC was in June ‘10, LA planned for October, Canada to follow.
Here’s an article about it on the Independent: http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/fashion/plussize-trend-causes-full-figured-fashion-week-to-grow-2007313.html

US news and blogs
http://plussize.lovetoknow.com/Main_Page

UK EBAY SHOPS:
In both cases really nice clothes, different from the usual high street. Some, but not many, up to size 28/30. They don’t let you shop by size, so you have to look at all the lovely things you CAN’T buy before finding what comes in your size.
More importantly if you buy something that doesn’t fit you may not get all of your money back, as these shops have terms and conditions that don’t to comply with the Distance Selling Regulations.

Plus Size Heaven

Pretty Big Stuff

Will continue to add anything interesting I come across.

The order was £70.01 and I have to paid a further £17.50. It's still good value etc even with these charges its just unexpected I will know better next time as I have had another order so I'm expecting that extra bill next week.
