My wardrobe needs its bi-annual renewal and I am in desperate need of some stuff to wear with leggings or skinny jeans with boots and hopefully soon ballet flats.

I am a 16/18, 5ft 6, large of nork, big hips + thighs. Curvy. Hmm Blush Olivey skin, brown hair, blue eyes.

I'm thinking high street rather than designer prices. Has anyone seen anything? I hate shopping - find it confusing and depressing!

I got this from Peacocks recently which I really like www.peacocks.co.uk/product/index.jsp?productId=4636411&prodFindSrc=paramNav

And this from (whispers) White Stuff www.whitestuff.com/LOOK-OF-LOVE-TOP-P29250/

Def try White Stuff. I posted a thread a minute ago advising everybody there is a 20% off sale tomorrow, so why not have a look?

Also, in the White Stuff sale site you will have lots of gorgeous tunic tops reduced to 30%-50%. Many of the larger sizes are still available.

WhoWhoWhoWho · 15/03/2011 13:13

Ooh have just looked at the white stuff site, I like a lot of their things so I may well be tempted to order if they are having a sale. Smile How are they size wise? Do you think with me being big of boobs I should size up? Have never ordered from them before.

I haven't been in Peacocks for ages and we have a big new one mearby now so I will definitely have a look.

Re sizing, White Stuff are notorious in terms of poor attention to sizing. I have items ranging from size 10 to size 14 and I'm a size 12. It drives you mad, but the clothes are gorgeous so it is worth persevering.

As a rule of thumb, I find that:

  • T-shirts are true to size (so size 12 for me)
  • Tunics and skirts tend to be larger, so order one size down.
  • Slim-fit cardigans can be too slim, so I sometimes find you need to get one size up.

I hope I'm not putting you off! The main thing to remember is that you can return any items you don't like for free and you get a full refund. It is very straight forward to do the returns, so it means you can order a few items, see what you think of them, return what you don't want, etc. Delivery is super fast: I ordered some clothes yesterday and they came through the post this morning!

Mosaica, is it 20% of everything or just some items, also do you know it's in store and online, or just one of them?
Thanks

Mantaray, I've got a couple of their dresses and tunic tops.

ChocChipWine · 15/03/2011 15:28

net book it's off everything - online you need to use the code ZAP in store you need a voucher they posted to customers - not sure what happens if you just turn up

netbook · 15/03/2011 16:07

Thanks ChocChip. I really have no will power, said I wasn't going to buy anything for the summer but here I am, seeing bargains, unable to control myself!

I have put a couple of things in my basket, do know whether they will still be there tomorrow? Wondering if I will have to add them again.

I was just about to post on this subject too!

Saw this monsoon tunic on another thread, anyone know a cheaper version of this?

BruceParry · 15/03/2011 18:02
