Hey hun!

In terms of bras, my life is a nightmare. I wear a 44G from Marks and Spencer, yet in Evans have to get a 48F. Very weird. I have given up buying one specific size and now just always try my bras on before I buy, and see what fits best, never mind what it says on the label. Evans bras also tend to start to poke or rub me after a while too.
Marks' bras are amazing though, even though they are uglier to look at lol. They have great support and fit, and last well.

In terms of clothing, we are very limited. I dunno what size you are, I'm a 24/26 and get most of my clothes from Evans, New Look and Ebay. Ebay is my fave. There really isn't anywhere else unfortunately

oh i never knew m&s did bigger bras *heads over to the website*

im a 24 ish. i get a lot of stuff from ebay, i just havent had the time lately to search through it.

Yeah, they ain't very stylish though so don't expect to be blown away by design. In terms of fit and support they're ace though. If I want a pretty bra I usually use Evans or Simply Be but I just don't expect it to be as supportive.

I concur!!!!! I have 2 M&S bras and the design is excellent! Im gonna have to take pics now to prove.......hehe

But....I must say Cherry aka im guessing its Amanda

? I have just bought 2 FAB bras from Asda, I get most of my bras from there. They last fabulously and are so cheap.....I am a 42/44F and Asda go up to a 42G. You can order online too. I have just bought a white one covered in cherries with matching knickers and I bought a navy and red nautical themed one, both £5 each!!! Moulded cups and excellent support! I totally rate Asda underwear!

Dont get me started on Evans, I have to personally say, for me WORST BRA'S EVER! I will never again buy an Evans bra. They tried to put me in something like a 48god knows what once and I was like WTF! Also, most Evans only stock upto I think its a 40E on the shelves so if you want anything bigger than that you have to order....well so I was told.

I sometimes use Simplybe when Im treating myself. Like Bexy said, I agree pretty but not half as much support as Asda in my opinion. My Marks bras are good....I can never find the sizes past a 42back though?

When it comes to clothes I am a New Look whore! I love it, I just today bought a blue vest with little white skulls all over it, and I am loving their denim leggings atm! FAB FAB FAB! Other than that, we have a little shop in Wolverhampton which sells a lot of clothes from the 'Yours' website range. I am yet to actually order from Yours, but I look at their website regularly and love there stuff, and I have heard good reviews from others about them. Other than that, I do the usual Evans, and I LOVE Ebay, I recently purchased a gorgeous poppy print tunic from a very yummy mummy too be

aka Bexy! hehe. I search American ebay regularly for Torrid, Tripp, Lipservice stuff too. I also sometimes shop in the Tall section of Dotty P's. Not cuz I am tall but I they go up to a size 22, and I find it I buy stuff in stretchy jersey fabrics I can get away with a 22 (I am a 24/26. 28 In some stuff! Spesh bottom half) and if its from the tall section, especially with vests and stuff I find theres the extra material to cover tummy, booty etc!

I recently found the following website......

http://www.pinkmarzipan.com/

They specialise in designer plus sized clothing, Baby Phat, Apple Bottoms etc. I havent ordered from here yet, and the stuff is pricey so a treat but if anyone does order from here....please pass on feedback! Ermmmmmmmmmm oh yeah....Littlewoods does the 'So Fabulous' range in there catalogues and online, some of the stuff is ok!

Oh Next also does a plus sized range but only online....they go up to a size 28. But I checked out there sizing chart and I reckon you would maybe have to go up a size, so if your usually a 24 in Evans Id go up one in Next.....I compared there size chart to Evans size chart and theres some definate skimping on their inches!

Oh and P.S bra extenders are a godsend!!!!!! Definately invest if you can! Spesh if you've got an old favourite that you may have slightly outgrown! They are only a couple of quid but save the day!

http://www.yoursclothing.co.uk/ (Some of it is a bit cheapy, dowdy looking, but they have lots of nice stuff at decent prices!) Postage aint bad priced either! They do underwear too. I havent ever ordered it but Beckaboo on here rated it and said it was good!

cherrycupcake · 06-14-2009, 12:14 PM
