Clothes for the larger lady

I am tearing my hair out trying to find pyjamas and clothes for the day for size 26/28.

I have tried Yours, evans, curvissa, jd williams, simply be and I find them poor quality, fade after wash, poor shape.

Why just because I'm big do I have to settle for crappy clothes?

I use many of the same brands and know what you mean. For “nice” I go for Dawn French’s 1647.

I also like global mandala’s plus size stuff, lots of “proper” cotton.

Have a look at Kasbah and Ulla Popken. I have same thoughts on the ones you have listed- so much polyester, so many butterflies.

Studio 8 is good for smarter stuff, but still a lot of polyester so you need to sift through and check the details carefully.

Oh and Navabi. Although they are EU so I believe there are extra fees etc added now, post-Brexit.

Landsend for quality. Asos is very hit & miss especially if you're older than 20s
