Shops that stock plus-size

I'm size 24 and I've looked at every shop I can think of for an outfit for a Christmas drink.

Next, Monsoon, John Lewis, M&S, Debenhams, Yours, River Island, Simply Be, Asos, Curvissa, Karen Millen, Sea Salt.

Boden & Fat Face don't stock my size sadly :(

Who have I missed?

I have a huge stomach - I look like I'm pregnant! So it's a bit tricky to find clothes that suit. I ordered a load of stuff that came today but none of it was any good.

I need to order something today to get it in time, panicking a little now Grin

Thanks :)

Tu by Sainsbury's? I know it's supermarket clothes but they actually have some really nice stuff sometimes! Lucy and yak, pretty kitty, m &s? What sort of thing are you looking for?

hotchocdrinker · 01/12/2021 15:57

Phase Eight Karen Millen Never Fully Dressed Joanie

Have you tried these?

Sorry, I should have said I've tried Phase Eight. Joanie only goes up to 22.

Not heard of Never Fully Dressed, will have a look, thanks!

I'm with you on that! Sainsbury's have come good on a number of occasions. Once when I was looking for an interview suit - no shops in town had anything that suited me - I'd been to them all and tried on literally everything that fitted me (didn't take long, haha!).

Then I thought I'd have a quick look at the clothes in Sainsburys just in case, and there was a nice, smart skirt & blazer perfect for an interview and which actually suited me!

But - I've looked and nothing online, this time.

I also love Lucy & Yak as suggested by the other poster.

How much do you want to spend? I’ve heard good things about Donald Stanley, but they’re made to your size, so might not be quick enough.

Fat Face haven't got anything above a 22, I don't know if they do sometimes do 24, but they don't have any right now.

Lovely clothes on Never Fully Dressed! But they only seem to go up to a 16?

I know you've tried John Lewis but there is a new make called Live in my John Lewis which goes up past a size 24. I like the styles and prices are reasonable. Saw good dresses from £45 when I was looking for a gift. Hope you find something you like op 💐

Anywhere between £30 and £100 depending on what it is, how much I love it, whether I'll use it again etc...

I need to have it in my hand by Friday so I think bespoke is probably out of the question! I'll have a look for another time though, thank you.

In the style - their Jessica Millichamp range is a lovely plus sized collection.

mrstea301 · 01/12/2021 16:13

Eloquii is a designer that definitely goes up to size 24 - they can be pricey but there are lots of options on eBay that might do the trick?

PurplePotato · 01/12/2021 16:13

Live Unlimited London, Mango?

Bishbashboshing · 01/12/2021 16:14

My sister is the same size as you, she buys most of her clothes from a website called yours. They also have some actual stores in the south east. The clothes seem great quality and my sister always looks very stylish and put together.

BreadBreadBread · 01/12/2021 16:14

@43leftfeet, you need to go to the Curve section of the Never Fully Dressed site.

I love this fwiw www.neverfullydressed.co.uk/products/happy-place-midi-dress-curve

mrstea301 · 01/12/2021 16:14

You could also hire a dress - siodauk.com/collections/dresses

Think this is the page for the Curve section of NFD. They go up to a 26 I think.

Love this too....feel as if being on this thread might end up costing me money Grin

DedalusBloom · 01/12/2021 16:40

Anna Scholz isn't cheap, but some lovely funky stuff up to a size 28

BreadBreadBread · 01/12/2021 17:05

Some beautiful things in the Anna Scholz sale! Not super pricey either with the discount.

When I look on the website there are 26 dress styles in a size 24...
