I suit Phase 8 shape ... what brands are similar?

[mkmjimmy]

I suit Phase 8 shape - I'm a s14 hourglass and their stuff goes in an out in all the right places and also hides less than firm tummies. But....I'm not overly keen on their materials (bit too polyester) and find their patterns look a bit frumpy on me. What else is their out there similar in style and price without the patterns.

?

I have some Phase 8 stuff, I would be an hourglass if I lost the pregnant-looking tummy!
I find Planet, Mint Velvet, East (if you can find anything amongst the ethnic prints), Eliza J and Adrianna Papell are all good shapes for me. I have to say though, that with the possible exception of Mint Velvet, you do have to sift through a lot of middle-aged dross to find something.

I'm an hourglass and have lately been buying loads of Me+Em. Really like the jersey materials - haven't tried the wool etc. I'm very long bodied with exaggerated curves so basically can't normally wear any dresses, and most tops are too short, but their cowl neck jersey stuff is just brilliant.

this sort, of thing.

I'm a very similar size and shape and I buy quite a lot of stuff from Hobbs, LK Bennett and Esprit.

I have never found a single item of clothing that fitted me in Zara, on the other hand!

in same price range I fit Esprit, S.Oliver, Ann Taylor. Bit more expensive - LK Bennett.

For workwear, I can't praise S.Oliver shirts enough, the ones that have ruching/gathering around bust, like this model: www.amazon.co.uk/s-Oliver-Womens-Short-SleeveBlouse-ECLIPSE/dp/B00GKH74Q0/ref=sr_1_20?s=clothing&ie=UTF8&qid=1408699455&sr=1-20.
or this www.amazon.co.uk/SIR-Oliver-Womens-sleeve-Blouse/dp/B00IU8CMF0/ref=pd_sim_sbs_ap_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=1R69XQZ5SDKTYTJWCDNF I'm a 30/32GG and can actually wear their buttoned shirts without any gaping and without the rest of the shirt swamping me. I have them in every colour.

Coast especially the skirts, not so the dresses

Ted baker dresses fab though!

Ta all. Away on shopping trip so couldn't access internet. Some great suggestions.

Hush is good for casual, comfy stuff.

Great Plains
Hobbs
And (whisper) M&S if you sift carefully.
