40 something size 16-18 big boobs: where should I look for quality clothes that last?

[buzzbobboo]

I buy a few bits from Boden, just made my first foray into Hush (a plain t shirt). But most stuff is Tu and while most of the stuff I get there is nice I want stuff that lasts and doesn’t pull out of shape and looks a bit better quality for longer and feels nicer.

I’m a 16 top with 36H boobs and an 18 bottoms. Big boobs and hips, smallish waist. I am sick of places that think tops should be crew neck and that an XL is a size 14.

Any suggestions?

Have you tried Navabi? I got some smart work clothes from there and they often have 20% off.

Bravissimo might be worth checking out - their clothes are cut to fit and flatter an hourglass shape.

Try John Lewis, OP - they stock a bunch of brands that cover your size. Phase 8/Studio 8 for example. Also tops from Mint Velvet. Kin, & Other Stories and Alice Temperley all also good.

Pepperberry is good (Bravissimo's clothing range), Mint Velvet and Monsoon.

Pepper Berry and bravissimo

Think I'm a similar shape/age to you...

I buy dresses from Monsoon/Mantaray.

Tops from Mantaray/White Stuff etc.

M&S "straight leg" jeans/joggers

Don't need to do smart workwear so can't help with that.

And Bravissimo as PP suggested for all swimwear/bras and some clothes.

I bought two dresses from bravissimo in their sale (one wrap day dress and a going out dress) - they are lovely

I’m pretty similar shape to you.... hourglass with big boobs (36g) and big derrière. I wear Cos and Arket, some M&S primarily from the Autograph range but some jeans from their Curve range that I love. I have also ventured to Finery & Weekday for summer dresses and a brilliant kimono and the odd bit from ASOS curve. I’m a “ city “ dresser though.... I don’t wear tons of print and I tend towards simple shapes and neutral colours ( although I always try for a fit on the waist)

Thanks - some excellent ideas to be getting on with. Buy all my bras from Bravissimo but never tried their clothes. Will take a look!
