    I've just found out that gift vouchers are included in the 20% offer (now extended, and still valid as I'm writing).

    This means that for example you could get £20 vouchers for £16. After a few seconds you'd get the code via email, and can use it on an £25 item reduced to £20 with the discount they give on the webiste.
    £25 item for £16, not bad (works out at 36%).

    And Topcashback give 10% cashback!

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Next Plus Size - As far as I am aware you can only order the plus sizes online, is that correct? Someone just ordered a dress for me on their account, so I was very happy I didnt have to open one, and I was really surprised at how nicely it fitted. I might try them again.

    Although saying that I have just remebered the trousers I have on are also from Next size 24, but I got them from a bootsale for 50p! They fit very good as well.
    Debt free since July 2013! Woo hoo! The bank actually laughed when I said I have come in to cancel my overdraft.

    Hello,

    Have been looking for a work-type dress for a few weeks now but haven’t found one anywhere that’s suitable.

    I’m after preferably a wrap-style dress, with sleeves and of a “decent length/2 (I’m touching six foot so anything short becomes indecent). Would like a dark colour – black, navy, burgundy or brown.

    I’m a six 22-24 and very busty so need a fitted waist otherwise I look like a sack of potatoes. I also inexplicably have really small shoulders so anything too wide cut slides down.

    Has anyone seen anything either high street or online

    Thanks in advance

    Amy

    yes, next plus sizes are online only - thats a real shame cos i love their clothes and would love to go into store and have a good trying on session.

    their jeans fit me really well

    Is this one any good?
    http://www.kiyonna.com/plus-size-clothing/New_Arrivals/11102207
    Available in 3 colourways, I think it's quite nice, if a little on the dear side. 45" long from shoulder to hem. They do ship to the UK, I've had stuff from them myself.

    Or this one: http://www.igigi.com/plus-size-dresses/plus-size-casual-dress/boulangerie-wrap-dress-in-navy.html

    This one is gorgeous, (and a nice length) but maybe a bit too 'summery'.

    They did do it in black too, but it sold out very quickly.

    Thank you. The first one is exactly what i am looking for.

    Just a bit wary ordering from USA - especially as i'm not sure what size i'd need. Probably a bit dear if it doesn't fit.

    If you look at the sizing information on the Kiyonna website you should easily be able to work out your size.
    Re ordering from the USA, I have done so several times (from both the websites I've quoted here) and never had any problems. They will put the true price on the customs declaration though, so you may have to pay VAT on it, in which case it becomes 'an investment piece'. But at least you'd be unlikely to see anyone else wearing the same dress!
    Not sure if you've seen the third dress I posted? (I was obviously busy editing my post when you replied..)

    I don't think you need to open an account, I bought a few bits and bobs a while back, and I was able to pay by card.
