Affordable plus size clothes - Bon Prix?

Hi all, I am trying to by a full summer wardrobe but don't have much money. My town is crap for clothes shops so I'm going to have to give online a go. Found this BonPrix website - what do people think of it? I think some of the stuff is quite quirky and nice but I do get things wrong sometimes!
Also, I'm a size 22 and was wondering how the sizes come up.
TIA

I just ordered some things from there. The sizes are what if expect, didn't come up big / small and some things were nice and good quality feeling. Other things were a little thin and cheap feeling but they were the cheap items and some were incredibly cheap (not bad wrap dress for I think £17.99 before discount).

I hadn't heard of it until the other day but just bought some very reasonably priced maternity wear

Fairylea · 31/05/2014 19:00

I haven't seen that one before, I'll have a look :)

I normally buy stuff from Yours. The things are nice quality and cheap. If you Google yours discount code as well something normally comes up !

JonSnowKnowsNothing · 31/05/2014 19:00

That's really helpful thanks, Jenni. I'm after some decent ankle grazing type trousers and nice tops and cannot stand material that feels scratchy or uncomfortable. Think I will buy a pair and a top and see how they come up.

More helpful advice - thanks glow worm and fairylea!
Will be back shortly to check I'm not about to order anything dreadful. (I'm really not good with fashion)

I have ordered stuff there a few years ago and it was fine. I have just ordered some linen mix trousers that I love from Yours though, they are worth a look.

JonSnowKnowsNothing · 31/05/2014 19:08

Hmm! I'm on the Yours site as there wasn't the best selection on BonPrix - hard to tell what the trousers look like though on this site as you can't see them being worn...
(Not that it was entirely helpful seeing them being worn by size 8 models!)

Have a look in the outlet bit of elvi website too - some bargains if you look through.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 31/05/2014 20:13

Yours. You have to pick and choose but good selection.

SuperDuperJezebel · 31/05/2014 20:44

Yeah I always used to shop at Yours as well, its got some good stuff amongst the tat. Dorothy Perkins and New Look both do size 22 as well.

NorksEnormous · 31/05/2014 20:46

Asda clothing is very reasonable and goes up to size 24

ohmymimi · 31/05/2014 20:52

ASOS do a plus range called Curve that starts at 18.

Idontknowhowtohelpher · 31/05/2014 20:58

Bon Marche have some nice basics up to size 24

TheFairyCaravan · 31/05/2014 21:04

Dorothy Perkins go up to a 22 and have up to 30% off this weekend if that helps. It's free delivery, I think, if you spend over £50.

MyrtleDove · 31/05/2014 21:28

ASOS Curve is by far the best plus size range. Tu at Sainsburys is so much nicer than George (although George is better than it was), do you have a big Sainsburys near you?

goodasitgets · 31/05/2014 21:40

Other good ones are pink clove and excite clothing Smile

TOADfan · 31/05/2014 23:15

I like bon prix as a plus size lady but it is a bit mature for me (im 24) and their jeans come up small on me.

I mainly use simply be (only when a sale is on), new look or asda.

Hint www.crazyclearance.co.uk is like a sale shop for sinply be and marisota.

Asos curve! Good quality and amazing prices in the sale, I've managed to get quite an impressive collection of jersey skater dresses and I wear them daily for work now. I am 25 and I find Bon prix a bit too toned down and mature for me.

FullOfChoc · 01/06/2014 20:37

I like New look and get a fair few bits from their website.

BikeRunSki · 01/06/2014 20:43

I can't comment on the plus sizing, but a friend of mine buys a lot of stuff from Bon Prix and it is always surprisingly good quality.

RigglinJigglin · 02/06/2014 19:10

Another vote for asos curve, and new look.
