    I have recently tried Odyl Design, they do clothes up to a size 16 and a G cup-they make shirts and some jersey and their range is growing all the time.
    The fabrics are much better than Bravissimo (Pepperberry) and clothing more flattering and fashionable- certainly makes me look less "matronly" as Pepperberry did!!!!

    Do you own/work for them?As I've just looked and the selection is pityful to say the least...

    I agree, smacks of self-promotion - there's all of one shirt on the site and it's £90!

    No, I don't work for them - although I do know the person who runs it, friend of a friend!
    so yes, some promotion maybe but I have tried and tested their products.
    they don't have a big selection, agreed and some of it not to my taste, especially the lingerie.

    I have ordered the cotton shirts before and a wrap top- they were nice but obviously not for everyone!

    At least be honest!It's more matronly with a ridiculously low range..there was a shirt,a dress,a top in a couple of colours that was the top version of the dress and a strappy top...wooo!And £90 for a lace shirt?:rotfl::rotfl:

    I've been buying bras from Bravissimo for the last five years and am very happy with the fitting and products on offer. The clothes don't appeal to me but I do understand why they might to others. Big boobs don't necessarily mean you're obese, and the struggle to find clothes that suit your shape can be difficult.
    If they offer something that suits you great, if not you can carry on buying elsewhere. No probs :)

    Not really, it's not as if we have a plethora of choice. Bravissimo needs to be good (from our point of view) precisely because there isn't much competition.

    Yeah, it is very difficult to find things that fit nicely - a friend of mine has the same problem, and recently did a dressmaking course so that she can alter her own clothes... think I'm going to have to try the same, I'm sick of buying things like shirts too big and them hanging off my bust... it makes me look bigger all over...

    I'm a 10-12 and a 30FF, pepperberry clothes are great for work where I don't want my buttons popping off my shirt. I agree that their jackets are lovely but the best is their jammies, I adore bravisimo PJs.
