I just need some NICE day to day clothes that are flattering, is that really too much to ask?!

Everything in the shops seems to be for the more mature lady or for young whippety types, I'm fed up of looking!

Im 5ft6, 14/16, big boobs (34GG), curvy shape.

I don't want stuff with skinny spaghetti straps, or floraly curtain type patterns, or high necks, or with words like ROCK or CHIC adorning things.

I'd like some trousers a few tops, and maybe a couple of casual dresses or tunics, just day to day stuff that looks nice and presentable but isn't too expensive or formal. Someone please take pity and help me? [pleads]

I agree that Toast have a lot of weird stuff, but I've got some fantastic jeans, plain skirts and t shirts from them. Quite Seasalt-y, without the patterns.

Hurrah! I finally found some items that fit nicely! Bought two dresses in Debenhams, both Mantaray with 20% off, and 2 tops to wear with my M+S light blue jeans (5 pocket style).

I've been looking for a vneck, navy background with white striped, t-shirt for MONTHS, and it was only £9!

The dresses and top from Mantaray all fit really nicely but I tried on others same brand that didn't. The sizes are generous too. I usually find a 14 too tight on my boobs but the 14 in Mantaray was just right. I tried about a dozen items on and 4 fit perfectly. I will now feel less trampy I think. Thanks everyone for all the advice and ideas. Smile
