Asos or boohoo plus

goldenorbspider · 27/01/2020 18:10

Depop or eBay?

chocolatespiders · 27/01/2020 18:13

New look inspire range.
I would just get a pair of black trousers and a few tops.

Dorothy Perkins, New Look, Matalan and H&M all have plus size or curve ranges, and most still have sales on.

Gingerkittykat · 27/01/2020 18:15

Asda George do basic black trousers and tops for next to nothing in up to a size 24 (you didn't say what size she is.)

New Look and Simply Be have decent ranges too.

Not much point in asking though if she will only wear the brands she already likes.

Tesco and Sainsbury's are where I get 95% of my work wear and I'm a size 18

heidbuttsupper · 27/01/2020 18:17

Another vote for BooHoo also River Island plus

SparkleClub · 27/01/2020 18:24

Try Yours Clothing they have some lovely flattering clothes that are plus size. They have a sale online( not sure about in store) at the moment but their stuff is cheap and lasts.

EachandEveryone · 27/01/2020 19:44

Next do plus size too - I'm a size 20-22

Also uniglo

lettersbyowl · 27/01/2020 20:14

Another vote for boohoo - but I'd suggest giving her the money and letting her pick! Super kind of you though, what a nice auntie Smile

SummersMahoosiveClipOnFringe · 27/01/2020 20:37

Crazy clearance has discounted Simply Be clothing

EachandEveryone · 27/01/2020 21:23

Oh no way am I giving her the money 😂😂😂😂

No, she can pick them shes just confused what she needs to wear in the community. She probably wont wear them very often once the placement is over. Ive looked at Next but hated the website the models were hardly plus sized.

OP posts:
EachandEveryone · 28/01/2020 16:16

Can anyone link the black Asda trousers?

OP posts:
partysong · 28/01/2020 21:01

There is no reason she can't wear clothes she likes in the community, essentially it just needs to be smarter than jeans, nothing fancy
