    Hello, looking for some more advice if you don't mind.

    I'm wanting some basic t-shirts, longline (longer length), don't mind if they are the same t-shirt but in different colours but I am having real problems finding some. Need size 30-32, there is none on Evans (where i have previously bought some), Yours have some but are always out of stock in my size, Ann Harvey are too short, just come to my waist, have tried the new range at Curvessia (I think its called) but no basic t-shirts at a reasonable price. Can't find my size on M&S, Tesco, Asda etc so am at a loss where to look.......

    If anybody has any suggestions I'd love to hear them. thank you


    Hi Curvey Kate,
    have you tried Fashion World and La Redoute catalogues? Both are online aswell. I'm not 100% if they will have longline t-shirts but it's worth a look as they have some nice clothing.
    Good luck.

    I have not had time to read all posts, but was wondering if anyone has purchased from a site called Curvissa?

  • hi :)

    i was just wondering if any of you have ordered tops from matalan before, i've never bought from there but have seen a top i really like in the plus size range and was wondering if their plus size range is usually true to size. i'm usually a size 24 top but can also be a 22 or a 26 depending on where i shop.
    thanks in advance. :)

    Can I ask you ladies for some fashion advice please?

    My son is getting married hopefully in Sept, (register office followed by a Pagan Handfasting - so not a traditional wedding, as I understand it many members of his fiancees family are Pagan)

    I am 5'6", 48" D cup (size 24'ish?) but size 32 hips (real 'pear shape') I have fallen in love with this dress from HC on Ebay, and was thinking I could wear it with a comfy pair of black open toed sandals and a small red and black feather based fascinator. Add a black Pashmina for warmth..

    BUT - is this a good shape for my figure? Would I be better off balancing it with a 'big' hat?

    Please forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.

    Firstly I just love the dress! Personally I would stick with the fascinator, not a big hat.

    I agree with lilykim, a nice fascinator will just be enough, as the lace of the dress will be quite striking - it's lovely :)

    they have a facebook page with pis of real women wearing their clothes, you may find someone with a similar body shape wearing a similar style, so you'd get an idea :)
