Size 20 - where do you buy your clothes?

Have you looked at Marisota?

Bon Marche ?

Anne Harvey might be worth a look too.

My neighbour shops at Long Tall Sally and at Next plus sizes she has had some lovely things over the past few years,Marisota also good she has also had skirts from Marshall Ward.

I know I bang on about these people and I am not on commission, honest but look at Box2 - nothing less than a size 14 and frequently not less than a 16 but some gorgeous things and while their sale is still on, less of a pain in the wallet area. Good luck!
Patricia Dawson (mail order) also a possibility and worth a look I am afraid I rarely go into shops other than Sahara (mostly too expensive, but a girl can look) and some of the smaller boutique style independent shops stocking Grizas Two Danes Oska etc.

Lots of makes are starting to go up to a size 18 or 20. I've found that slightly better makes are well cut and that I can wear an 18 or even 16. John Lewis go up to 20 in lots of their clothes and are not hugely expensive. I try to look for good trousers etc in the sale and have bought some Windsmoor wide legged trousers for £9, black trousers from Jaeger for £30 and Alexon for £15. I love Oska, too and, for something a bit more frivolous, I love Chesca. Basic T-shirts from Sainsbury's are good too.

Most of my clothes come from Bonmarche, some from Marisota.

Forgot to mention Boden and Kettlewell.

Harrods have a16+ plus department!

Ducks behind settee

Oh, keep going ladies. This has given me lots of places to look at, thank you very much xx

New Look Inspire range, Simply Be and George at Asda Moda range.

Found a lovely plain navy skirt in M&S today. I like my skirts long (as I have tree trunk legs), which are difficult to find, but this is a nice long one and lovely heavy material that hangs well. Need to keep looking though as I need more things, didn't manage to buy any thing last year.

Peruvian connection do some as well. They've a sale on at the moment.

Box 2. Very good for 'occasion wear' but also good basic skirts, trousers, tops.

If you are looking for online, I love Juice Wrld Merchandise but it carries mostly cloths[1] . The quality is decent but the prices balance that. I personally think it's worth it for the price.

Bon Marche and Simply Be are usually good.

Probably after this pandemic and lockdown there will be a lot more people needing larger sized clothing.

Seriously though, most companies do size 18/20/22. so you have loads of choices. I buy a lot in Sainsbury's, like their design and prices. Also, use Damart catalogue, but there are loads of good catalogues clothing companies out there.

I AM apple shaped, but I get my clothes from:

Simply Be, Yours Clothing, Dorothy Perkins and Debenhams. All online, of course (although I never go into shops and certainly wouldn't try things on).

I don't like Evans either - their clothes all seem shapeless and expensive for what they are.

Next do larger sizes and both Seasalt and White Stuff sell larger sizes online than they sell in the shops.

Box 2 are very good quality although if you are shortish they can be a challenge length wise. My favourites are Seasalt for casual and I love Adini for dresses and separates.

Next and Yours I've found very good
