  • Thank you Shellsuit - have just PM'ed you back. I really do appreciate you having taken the time today to check when you were in BHS.....that is sooooo kind of you....I'm going to ring my local store tomorrow and see if they will liaise with the Liverpool store and fingers crossed they will send up for me - keeping everything crossed!!!

    Can a Mum of the Bride hijack this?!

    Ok.....I'm looking for a plus size online store, but NOT the usual Littlewoods, Marisota, Very, Simply Be type.

    I'm happy to pay decent money, but just need pointing in the right direction!

    The wedding is in Oct, so time is of the essence.

    Many thanks if anyone can help.

    I haven't ordered from any of them so I can't recommend personally, though.

    Have private messaged you Gill, just popping this here incase you come back to the thread first.

    I've found the shoes, in blue, in a 5! x

    Can I say a HUGE big thank you to Shellsuit who so kindly posted and PM'd to say she spotted the bridesmaid's shoes I needed for my daughter when in BHS in Liverpool yesterday. You are an absolute star as I've been pulling my hair out literally trying to get hold of these for about 3 months....BHS Wedding on-line were of no help saying as the size wasn't in stock there was nothing they could do and they weren't getting any more in. Tried my local stores in Central Scotland and no stock there and they rang various other Scottish stores for me to no avail.

    After Shellsuit's find yesterday I rang the Liverpool branch this morning and explained my predicament and the lady was extremely helpful, found the shoes in the stockroom and is sending them internally up to my local store in Livingston for me.

    I am so, so pleased and my daughter (14) has a huge smile on her face (that is some achievement with a 14 year old teen :rotfl:) as these were the shoes she really, really wanted for my wedding next year and will match her bridesmaid's dress perfectly.

    So a huge thank you from the both of us....you've made my weekend :)

    Hi Gill, that's fab news!!

    If you weren't able to get them sent out, I was going to suggest that I pick some up for you on Sunday when I pop over there, but now you're sorted there's no need!

    It was my pleasure, so glad I could help! xx

  • there are a few colour options here,cobalt(which is normally blue) or azzuro (no idea!) but cos theres no pic with them its hard to say! maybe give them a ring, if you go back to the page before it shows the different colours but not as hold ups
