I'm a 22 and shop at Gap, H&M, New Look, M&S (for jeggings), ASOS, Very and Yours Clothing (the last three online).

As above plus Hobbs, Monsoon, Boden, Jaeger - better to take your measurements and compare them to store sizing as you can be different sizes in different stores.

postmanpat didn't know Gap went up to a 22 - or is it that their sizing is v generous?

Uniqulo for tops. Phase 8 and Fat Face can be very generous

I'm an 18 and also go to Dorothy Perkins, Debenhams, Banana Republic, Wallis and Matalan. Can also find stuff that fits in Coast and Phase Eight.

An XL from Gap is about a 20/22 I think.

Thanks for the replies. I will check online. Never thought of Gap before.

Yes Gap tshirts, knitwear, jackets and dresses in an XL fit me fine - not trousers though.

For cheap bits, asda, sainsburys

I just bought loads of stuff from Sainsburys. I tried asda and matalan but I'm the wrong shape for their clothes. Sad

18 bottom half, 20 top, hourglass shape. Jeans from Sainsburys. I wear a fair amount of Gap. I bought five tops from the Boden sale and the majority fitted well, which was a refreshing change. I found their Style Advisor useful for recommending clothes for my shape.
