Good quality plus size clothes? (Size 18/20)

Hi

Just wondering where other larger ladies, with a small budget, go to shop?
I get some some things from peacocks, but apart from that am struggling. I also think they are poor quality and don't last long so I know I'm wasting money, but don't have money upfront for expensive stuff.

Also have a few items from Isabel London but am not feeling their dresses at the minute..

Any tips?!? Thank you in advance

ASOS has a great selection and their own range isn't too pricy.

Tu is reasonable. Depends on your body type

Hmm, good quality and small budget are hard to match up in the world of plus size clothes I'm afraid. There is a lot of cheap polyester around.
M&Co plus can be ok,
La Redoute plus
H&M plus size
Violeta by Mango, plus size range

Then carefully pick through Curvissa, Simply Be, River Island, New Look and Dorothy Perkins plus size.
Yours clothes may be worth a look but can be polyester central, same goes for Evans.

Tu is a good shout

Debenhams sales.

Thank you.

I'm 5ft8, 40dd bust, fat is fairly distributed so am in large proportion haha!

Oh yes I forget about Yours, but feel like I go static in there with all the polyester.

I know small budget and good quality is hard to come by. I can spend a bit more to buy some good bits.
I bought a pair o flat jeggins from peacocks that fit perfectly but can feel they are already wearing think where my thighs rub after only a few wears.

Will be going shopping this week and am just not in a good place with how I look, but needs must, so I want to make a plan of attack so I at least have some shops in mind and don't fall down my 'it's useless I'm fat and hideous' hole too soon!
