Next makes clothes for pygmies .. little arms / little legs .. they have never fitted me

so I can't comment on whether they're nice or not

You were probably in the worst part of Belfast then Expat It's not that bad.

RI had some nice tops there on Saturday too And Dotty P's. I bought a top in there today... I don't think I will keep it though, it's for holidays,what do you think?

It's not those colours though, it's all bright colours & a white stripe, with white trousers? I'm size 14 & never wear anything like that.. but don't want strap marks in my tan

H&M clothes are designed to fit titless teens.

harleyd - ours is crap too. sizes are crap, bad quality (doesn't last very long). adverts are good though.

I have always found matalan shite - nothing fits me
DH loves it for cheapy combats, polo shirts etc for wearing on building sites

I think shop preference really depend on what shape you are - when not pg I am a spot-on Next 10 which means even their cheap badly cut suits look moderately passable.

We drive from the North to the South to visit penneys!! Much better than Primark & a far better selection

scatterbrain · 13/06/2007 21:44
