My sister is plus size and I have just had her on the phone in floods of tears, she is due to start a new job in William Hill tomorrow, this is her first job since being made redundant 2 months ago, she received her contract through the mail and it states that they will provide her with 5 blouses, however she is freaking out incase they are not made in her size, I don't know what to tell her Hmm has anyone experienced this? Or have any information that I can tell her please?

When you say plus size do you know roughly what size she is 18 would be less likely to cause an issue than a 30?
Although assuming they saw her at interview i would think it is up to them to either provide her size or agree an alternative she can wear.

A big chain store i really doubt it will be an issue i assume thesame as shops you wear something smart for a few shiftswhile they order your uniform.
I would just turn up in a smart plain top and dont get offended if it takes a little extra time to order it.

I used to work for them. They will do that size no bother!

My uniform took about a month to arrive and I wasn't particularly large. It was a common thing for new employees to wait ages for their uniform. With the regular customers, it made them treat the newbies a bit easier Wink

If they arent made in her size she can just ask can she wear a similar top of her own instead. I really dont think it will be an issue though.

Any company of that size where uniform is compulsory will have sizes to fit all - ours even does made to measure for those that are extra tall for example
