An exciting and warm winter mac

Breton tops other than Joules

easy to wear tunics that are fairly smart

I have another thread complaining about this decision on their part btw.

Please don't take this in a nasty way but you sound v angry about it all! 22 isn't the healthiest of sizes, focus on your health rather than size availability
I say this as someone who isn't a standard size

Well thats helpful newballs. Ffs Hmm

Naoko · 21/08/2016 00:45

So what Newballs, she should go around naked until such a point as she's not a size 22? Hmm Don't be ridiculous.

Northernlurker · 21/08/2016 00:51

Newballs you know nothing about my health and I didn't ask for your opinion on my health. If you have some clothing suggestions to make than please do make them. Otherwise I suggest you focus on your own personality. It doesn't seem very healthy to me. Best to focus on improving that eh?

Seasalt.co.uk? I love their stuff. Sizing usually generous, free returns if buying online.

chattygranny · 21/08/2016 01:00

ASOS has some nice stuff.

sunshineandmarbles · 21/08/2016 01:05

I'm honestly not sure about sizing, but might be worth looking at Fat Face and White Stuff - they definitely do nice tunics and Breton tops (or similar).

I think fat face only goes to an 18, I thought white stuff was the same. I like sea salt. Might try them.

Fat face might be worth trying Northern - it's pretty generous. A size 12 dress fitted a size 18 me recently!

HoneyDragon · 21/08/2016 01:25

La redoute .... Have all the things you've suggested and afaik go up to a size 26.

Newball's comment gave me Hannibal Lecter urges.
My maw is now in a wheelchair and she has put on roughly 1/2 stone per year for 10 yrs of her illness.
She was a 12 all her adult life up to debilitating crapola life changing illness. Now she's a 22. She still wants to look nice but shops selling plus sizes are generally a punishment in terms of fabric fashion cut styling and then price.
Asking where to find nice clothes at any size does not require some chiding

Off to find a nice Chianti

Are you selling this service or something, I keep seeing you pop up on threads, but linking to & recommending the same thing Confused

22 isn't the healthiest of sizes, focus on your health rather than size availability

Wow, what an awesome idea NewBalls you must be a health expert!! I am a size 22 and you'll be pleased to know that I am constantly focused on my health thanks to the hashimotos thyroid condition I got after my hormones crashed post-childbirth that caused me to gain a dress size every year until I realized that the 'perfect' hormone replacement meds my GP prescribed actually do nothing for my particular condition, and the accompanying adrenal exhaustion kicked in, and now I also have gallstones which means I have to lose weight very slowly because weightloss can make them get worse. Do I sound focused enough? Can I go back to talking about clothes now? I assume you wouldn't like to see me walking around naked...

Bellyrub1980 · 21/08/2016 02:14

Sea salt sell lovely items in generous sizing. Not sure if they go up to a 22 but my size 18/20 body fitted very comfortably in one of their size 16 dresses recently.

Mantaray (Debenhams) is a bit hit or miss with patterns but the occasional lovely classic item similar to the fat face/white stuff style.

Sounds like you can afford nicer brands but Sainsburys go up to a 22 and I buy loads of things in there and the quality is often very good.

chattygranny · 21/08/2016 06:35

Tesco F&F range is also good. I thought it stood for Fat and Fabulous but my DDs guffawed and told me it's Florence and Fred! Repent, sympathies same thing happened to me post DC4.

Lucymatilde · 21/08/2016 06:47

I think Seasalt only go up to 20. I am tall and like Long Tall Sally and they go up to 22.

InScotlandwetrust · 21/08/2016 07:00

Yours clothing has a rearly good range and they go up to a size 32. Their sizing is really generous as well.

marmiteloversunite · 21/08/2016 07:09

I think Monsoon go up to a size 22? They are pretty generous too.

MarzipanDildo · 21/08/2016 07:43

The Burnham Bay range at Yours Clothing might be up your street?
