Online shops that sell size 16-18 that are not old fashioned??

[PinkChick]

been all over lately and have managed to buy a few new things, have gone from 22 to a snug 16/loose 18 but i now need a jacket, something light, got heavier coat for colder weather, poss a denim jacket and need swimwear for hols, but until im smaller it must be bather not tankini/bikini..am crap at buying new things, i DONT KNOW what suits me as ive spent years in big loose clothes, so want nice trendy stuff, am only 31 so dont want to look like a frump

I would guess that any online clothes shop would do your size. What is your body shape/colouring?

Have a look at Gok Wan's 'dressing for your shape' site and take it from there.

LOl at your name Moonpigdotcom, dd sings that around the house ..ahem..sorry..well im quite big boobed (in a 38D at min, but despite losing weight these seem to be getting bigger!?), have a large butt, large thighs, am dark haired and fairly tanned (face, chest and arms are anyway

I seriously could do with one of those make over prgs just so i can get some ideas on what to buy as i go for jeans and t-shirts all the time!

Have just looked on the Wallis website, as they often have nice jackets.

There's nothing there at the moment, as they are still trying to flog their summer sale stuff, but keep an eye on there, as most of their styles go up to an 18, and their outerwear really is fab.

denim jacket

[fishie]

pinkchick i bet you are not a 38d if you are 14-16, i am that size and have just been refitted into a 34f. i do still have some 36dds which are sort of the same size but don't look half as good (it is a capacity thing, so the bra is like a vessel, some may be bowls and some mugs but will all hold the same amount)

[missblythe]

this is fab

[fishie]

and i have huge big swimming back / shoulders.

[mazzystar]

i second the bra fitting advice

have you tried principles, or hobbs if you want to splash out a bit

[sandyballs]

Where did you get measured fishie? Think i need to.

[mazzystar]

for jacket that is

not sure about swimwear

always buy mine in toast sale, but may not be young enough for you

[missblythe]

belted denim

[Pannacotta]

Monsoon, Hobbs both well cut for curves IMO.
Perhaps book a slot with a personal shopper at JOhn Lewis, House of Fraser, Debenhams for some ideas/help?

[missblythe]

scrumptious with your new curves

[missblythe]

ooh, and this one

[PinkChick]

ooh been googled everywere just saw all these messages..the top shop denimjacket i doubt would fit, looks fitted and im 16-18, tried a ted baker 'large' on today and it almost ripped

like the black cross over bather although i was hoping to get something with a funky print??..have just seen a fab tankini(i know, i said not these) it was on bravvismo and finky stripes but the pants were titchy...i havent EVEr been fitted for bra..just tried on and bought whatever fitted me!, last one was from la senza and is 38 d but am seeing a little spillage lately?, maybe cos its just been TOTM???
