I don't know about East though, their site is down. I did buy some size large linen trousers there when v pg and they fitted though so I guess they must be pretty big!

Can't find a website. Catalogue. Sometimes they do previous season stock sales in town halls round the coutnry - they do sizes 8-20, I think.

Trouble with Monsoon, speaking as a larger lady myself, is too much risk of bumping into someone in the same thing but in a much smaller size.

If she is willing to pay Chesca prices, maybe she should consider a dressmaker?
