So if you don't like M&S !,,,

Pittcity, the Lands End web site has lots of cotton knitwear as has the Cotton Traders' site.

I buy wherever I find something I like. I like cotton and my trusty cotton jumpers and cardigans are getting well worn. Can only now find Cotton mix...
Got some lovely bras from TKMaxx though!

I very rarely wear dresses but, when I do, I check out Adini who still use a lot of cotton in their clothes. However, since I started wearing leggings I tend to wear the same clothes pretty much all the time; just switch the long leggings for shorter ones when the weather warms up.

Charity shops mainly , I bought a Jaeger jacket a few weeks ago for £2 in near perfect condition except one button was chipped . Clarks shoes unworn for £5 . I make some stuff like summer tops and harem trousers . Sainsburys for underwear . I would never buy from Marks as the quality is terrible and everything is made in the far east .
Anything unusual from Ebay , I am a bit of an old hippy too !

We have great charity shops in my area, so I often buy jackets and tops there made by Country Casuals and Boden ( far too pricey normally).

I have a lovely light grey jacket bought from Joules in the sale.

I like all the Dash clothes as they are made of cotton and don't irritate my skin.

Edinburgh Wool Mills occasionally have nice trousers and tops.

I just buy whatever I happen to see from a variety of place including Matalan, Sainsburys and QVC. I like Per Una in M&S but it's quite pricey - I was in there yesterday but didn't see anything I liked but then found two lovely jumpers in Quiz - I didn't need 2 new jumpers but hey ho they're now in my wardrobe I've recently discovered Diane Gilman jeans which fit fabulously as they're quite stretchy but not to the extent that they sag so buy them when they're on offer. If I never buy another thing I'll have enough clothes to see me into my dotage but have just opened an M&S bank account so eagerly awaiting my £100 gift card

Today I received my Mother's Day gift from my DH. A pair of Sketchers shoes for summer, navy with multi coloured flowers, very comfortable memory foam in-soles. The problem now is, I need new summer trousers to go with them! I'll try M&S since several of you seem to trust them. I'll report back if I find any.

Today M & S sent me a 20% off email offer for my birthday. The catch is I have to order online. Surely if it's for my birthday I want to actually go into the store and choose something nice. Very disappointed, so I wont be treating myself.

If you are retired like me and have the time to shop around, wait for sales and % off offers at the good quality shops. Seasalt and Fatface have lovely quality clothes but are a bit pricey. I have bought from them in sales but I wouldnt pay £40 - £50 for a cotton top. Also Monsoon have lovely clothes. I volunteer in a charity shop so get some great stuff from there. Apart from that I'm still quite loyal to M & S, Next and Tu at Sainsburys. Good Shopping everyone.

Can't remember the last time I bought clothing from M&S, although I did buy a fantastic bra a few years ago. I wish I'd bought more than one because it was discontinued and I have trouble getting my size at a reasonable price. Now they don't have anything nearly as good.

I buy from lots of the places already mentioned and lately I have bought a few things from a newish plus size shop called Yours. New Look and M&Co are pretty good too. I like Sainsburys for accessories, but the clothes don't fit me well. I no longer buy investment pieces and love cheap and cheerful these days.

Oops - BNWOT

I have a couple of Wallis charity shop dresses and an M&S cashmere tunic dress which I got on eBay at half price BNWT. Although we have a big new branch of Marks just very near I was sad to see no clothes I liked. Luckily on one of my visits to the foodhall passed a sale rail and found my very first pair of jeggings. They are comfy, warm and Extra Short. Oldest grandson commented favourably on them!! On the same rail was a grey skinny rib polo neck which goes with them. A bit sad for a once respected store when the motley collection on sale rails is better than what's in the Windows!

My whole wardrobe has been renewed during the last year as I've dropped several dress/skirt sizes. Many of my new clothes have been bought for me as gifts by family members who are thrilled with my weight loss and as a result I have a range of clothes that are brand new: Joules, Fat Face, Seasalt, White Stuff, Gerry Weber, Masai, Weird Fish and Mistral - all bought locally in my little town. Plus Precis, Hobbs and Farhi from online sales. For the first time in my life I seem to have rather a lot of clothes due to me buying things in charity shops and then all my family buying me clothing/clothing vouchers as gifts.

My best buys so far are a pair of Hobbs shoes for £7.99 - brand new from a charity shop. I was there as the assistant put them on the shelf and I couldn't believe it when I saw they were my size; a Precis coat (online sale with a £200 discount) and a Hobbs dress, also discounted by more than £100. All these items are (funereal) black.

I am wearing Per Una tops and skirts that I've had for years, plus some old pieces I've bought on ebay.I've found Sainsbury's is quite good for trousers, I've just bought a lovely Wallis dress in a charity shop and I've found a couple of Joe Brown tops on ebay.

I probably do more shopping for clothes online:

John Lewis and Cotton Traders who deliver to France. M&S underwear (ordered from the French site but it originates from the UK warehouse).

I still look on the EBay UK as the French EBay has nowhere near as much choice and one or two other French websites.

My local Leclerc supermarket and two independent shops sometimes get my custom.

When I visit the UK by car, we always shop at the Sainsburys supermarket in Ashford for bargain clothes and the Ashford Design Centre - Fat Face and French Connection usually.

I like M&S clothes but their delivery service to France is ......very poor!
At the moment I'm wearing a Woolovers jumper, warm wool trousers from a second hand stall in the market here, and a fleece jacket which I bought in Southend in 2001.
In our part of France you can get some real bargains at market 2nd hand clothes stalls. I've had a few good quality "designer" items.
Underwear from John Lewis on my last visit to UK.

East, Gap, John Lewis and yes still Marks for some things.

I have bought lovely jeggings in M&S in nice colours the first pair fit so well I bought 3 pairs in the end and I do like their bras but I've bought nice fitting T shirts in Peacocks in pretty colours and scarves . I buy other stuff where I fancy it and where it fits. Buy Boden occasionally in the sale, too expensive otherwise although I pay it for the grandchildren although do try and buy in the sale for them too. I started a tradition to buy them a new dress for birthdays and Xmas and it's usually Boden, sorry went off track there

I find Bon Marche tops really good value. They fit me, are fairly stylish, and wash well, unlike their cardigans and jumpers that don't wash well. I buy some sweaters from Per Una sale in Marks.
We have jolly good Charity shops in our town, and I buy some coats, fleeces and jackets from them.
My best bargain this month- a £125 waterproof jacket from Monsoon, marked down to £22 as someone had torn a little bit of the pocket, and returned it to the store.

Bon Marche, Matalan, Asda (tho quality can be hit and miss sometimes, but some lovely things). Sainsburys are very good.
M&S are all for the young and thin, are now very expensive as well.

I also like Maine and John Rocha at Debenhams , but only as a treat for myself occasionally.

I'm wearing uniqlo trousers, a very old blouse from Toast and a lovely boiled wool Toast sweater that I got in the sale.

I love Uniqlo for jeans, t shirts , sweatshirts, padded jackets, just about anything casual. Smarter I go for Cos and Jigsaw , evening and special occasion I make myself.

I like Maine, lots of cotton which I like. I like Lands End but think their quality has gone down in the last few years (also they bombard you with emails). My clothes have to be hard wearing as I have dogs and an engineering workshop. Probably wear a skirt/dress once a month.

White Stuff, Monsoon, Joules, Boden, Seasalt, Hobbs (in the sale) and occasionally Fat Face for casual wear. Just bought my first piece of Mint Velvet today. I do make the most of discount codes and I don't buy lots and lots of clothes.

If I'm dressing up, then I like White Stuff. For casual wear you will usually find me in Regatta tops, fleece jumpers and shoes. Sometimes I buy Cotton Trader's too. I used to do all my clothes shopping in M&S, but not any more. The last time I was in the store in Carlisle, there was not one thing that I wanted to try on.
