Boden alternative? Plus size.Help please!!

[JakeBallardswife]

Hate the term plus size but am size 22 in tops to make them long enough to cover my mahoosive 38JJ bust.

Boden was my staple last summer with their long line v neck t- shirts. I've looked at similar this year and it's just not there. Is the Ravello to worth £49?

If not Boden, where else? I like plain colours or stripes, as these seem to work. The odd flower is fine. Must be v- necked. M&s have nothing either

I have a 36K chest, so you have my sympathies! I find the Ravello fine, although I can't get the V neck to fit properly. I expected to prefer it, but in the end I exchanged them all for the round neck version, which sits a lot better. The 22 is big on the shoulders and waist for me, but I need it in the chest. I recently took them all to a dressmaker and she put dome shaping through the waist and they sit better. Don't pay full price and though - there is always a 20% off code floating around.

A7Y2 gives 20% off atm.

Also, I find Joules clothing to be on the large size, their clothes go up to a 20, so you might be ok?
EGG gives 25% off until Sunday, in store or online.

Have you tried Next and Dorothy Perkins?

Dorothy Perkins, I never quite get on with. No idea why and next I never really like anything in there. Everything seems too short. I might look again though

Seasalt does some stuff in larger sizes )though not much in the way of V necks)
Might be worth a look though?

Monki - they have oversized cuts on many items and have some great pieces. Joanie have a good size range but quite distinctive style.

I've just discovered Navabi. Prices seem to range from expensive to reasonable but I've got some nice tops and dresses there.

Pure Collection do up to a 20 and some of their styles are loose fitting.

Pure actually goes up to a 24 in limited items - I'd forgotten about that. Their wrap tops fit well, OP.

Have you tried Pepperberry the clothes line Bravissimo make? They are cut with more room to accommodate a larger bust size.

I'm don't need them myself but have heard good things.

GAP online go up to a size 24 and there is always an offer on

OP, if their clothes are of interest, Pure Collection have emailed today with a limited time 25% off, plus free delivery and returns here
