Favourite shops?

I am not a standard size (is anyone??) but some shops do cater for large petites and those are the ones I use!

I like to wear White Stuff and Fat Face mainly for casual but also love Boden for casual and dressy, add in M&S for jeggings (never anything but trousers and undies there).....sorted. I am 62 but think I'm younger

YaNKEE , GREAT , LOVE IT .

Nonu - I'm a Yank but have lived here for (whisper it) 40+ years. Children and grandchildren are here, so this is home.

Thanks for all the suggestions ladies, a few there I have never heard of, Kettlewells colours are amazing and East looks good, will make a note of your suggestions for next time, much appreciated

I like East for jewellery. They have some lovely stuff and it's always reasonably priced.

Yankee don"t you be starting me on charities , love "em to bits !

How did you pick your name? Are you in USA a lot ?

Personally I am in love with charity shops. Half my wardrobe comes from these - but they are hit and miss.

Definitely East - their clothes are lovely. I do like Monsoon, but they are expensive. I always try to buy at sale prices though wherever I shop for clothes.

As I`ve mentioned before, most of my clothes come from Bonmarche, mainly skirts and tops, if I had the money I could really go to town buying their tops!

YankeeGran I like Uniqlo too.
FatFace and Toast, though Toast is expensive and I wait for the sales!

Uniqlo. Great for all the basics that M&S used to do. They currently have fab little light-as-a-feather autumn jackets in wonderful colours.

I sometimes find things I like in Principles and Next. Monsoon must only aim at giants as I find everything there is far too long- I am 5 foot 1inch tall. Trying to shorten dresses and trousers often spoils the line so I dont bother to look there now.

Currently Next, Monsoon, Fat Face and Sainsburies

Monsoon clothes are bright but not particularly cheap!

Managed to buy my outfit for Godson's wedding in Next yesterday so they are my number one favourite at the moment. I am over wide and over tall so most impressed and pleasantly surprised.

Yes, well, given the dismal choice in NZ I can see why you come over with an empty suitcase and do your shopping here. But it has other compensations doesn't it.
The brand White Stuff, that has shops and is in John Lewis, if you like patterned colour maybe.
I like Zara because it does not do the same clothes as the other UK stores (its Spanish) but they do seem to do more neutrals than colours.
This last season in UK seems to have been dominated by very bright colours.

East, and if there is a John Lewis near to where you're staying they have a large selection that includes most major brands. I find Mint Velvet fits, and like lots of the styles. I'm 5. 8" and find things are long enough for me.

I buy colourful separates from Kettlewell. They are really well made and fairly classic. They are available on line. Boden is good too.

If you love colour East is the shop for you. They use a lot of natural fibres too. I love the place x
