    Just had an email from H&M they have a new range called inclusive going from size 6-28 some of it look's quite nice. I do like the dresses especially the blue one, but unfortunately I know it wouldn't suit me.

    Excellent!
    It makes a change, although the name sounds rather patronising...
    Lovely clothes, probably not for me, but it's good to have greater choice.

    HI Thanks for that! I had a look, they have some really fashionable stuff, they are only for the big and brash though. Things like that do nothing for a bigger figure, I would be uncomfortable with such little material, and I got to have straps..man has yet to invent and make a strapless bra that can do a good job and be comfortable x.
    I did notice something odd.. the knickers they have went up to a 28 yet the matching bras a 38c????:rotfl:

    Tell me about it...I have tried so many, and they are either not supportive enough or squash everything down.

    The day I find a strapless bra I like and does the trick, I am buying every single one in my size in the shop :D

    I have got a stick on bra from Peacocks though which seems like it will work with my bandeau type dresses (you know the ones with a ruched/gathered bust). At least if they slip the gathering underneath the bust should keep them reasonably in place so that I don't get a nasty surprise walking down the street ;)

    And for my fellow Simply Be customers, if you have a Nectar card Simply Be are on Nectar - 2 points per £1 spent. And it seems you keep the points even if you send some of your order back as I discovered unexpectedly :whistle:

    I would like to add more sites where you can find larger sizes. I've added quite a lot that do up to 32 (Evans, although now limited, Anne Harvey, Yours etc), but above this I can't find much.

    - LaRedoute possibly (but I've never been able to buy from them, despite trying several times, even got as far as placing an order which was lost...)
    - All the JDW sites (simply be etc etc), although their 34 is actually equal to a 32, as their sizes are smaller.

    I found a new brand, available on eBay and Amazon, called Fashion Closet. They some dresses up to size 44, but their feedback/stars are not great.

    Obviously there also is Holy Clothing, with their lovely dresses.

    If anyone else knows of other places for size 34+ please let me know and I will add to the initial list!



    just found this site on another site
    http://www.bigbeautifulandgorgeous.co.uk/category-130.html
    sizes 12-44 although as usual limited on the bigger sizes but a dedicated section to size 30+ some really gorgeous pieces never bought anything from them so can comment on customer service etc hth someone

    dedicated 30plus section some nice bits

    Looks like it's probably an ebay seller who's started a website, I can see a lot of Fashion Closet stuff.
    They've got pics of real people wearing their clothes, I love it!

  • I dont know if anyone has mentioned a site called yours clothing but I can thoroughly recommend them. They do larger sizes, are really generous with their sizes and have a great range of clothing.
    You get lots of offer discount on postage etc and they are really reasonably priced.

    Hello Karen
    welcome to this thread! :)
    I suggest you may want to take some time to read some previous posts (not all, there are so many of them....) Yours Clothing is a company we discuss regularly here. But thanks anyway for sharing your opinion of them.

    Has anybody looked in Evans lately?!

    I check in regularly, but hadn't seen anything I liked in there for years - but suddenly they have a few tops I quite liked online and I've actually made an order. :eek:

    If you like butterflies you'll be chuffed since buttrflies seem to be a big motif at Evans this season.

    Knock me down with a feather! :eek::j
