Brands - lesser known recommendations?

I’m approaching 40 and I didn’t take much notice of what I wore in my 20s and early 30s.
Since I hit 35 I’ve become a lot more interested! I’m not sure why that is but now I really really like clothes.
I like:
Mint velvet
The Kooples
Anthropologie
All Saints
Me+Em
Mango
Karen Millen (never liked this but have had some really nice stuff from here this year)

I like Hush but tend to find it all too big. I’m a size 6-8 and they come up big a lot of the time so even an xxs or a 6 can be a bit big. Sometimes Mint Velvet is the same.

Any suggestions for other brands or lesser known brands?

Have recently discovered Wyse London and Ba&sh.

Quite pricey, I’ve bought a couple of things on their sale.

Ooh Ba&sh is lovely!

I've bought a few things from Wolf & Badger, who sell clothes by smaller independent designers and stores.
I've bought a few dresses from Finery which are really nice.
I bought a beautiful dress in the Brora sale last year. It would normally be very much out of my price range!

I do like Hush, but the sizing is odd. Im a size 8 waist most places, but 4-6 is probably accurate with Hush.

Noa Noa - I don't know if that's lesser known.

Similarly Baukjen, but also check sizing and measurements there!

I love Me&Em and Mango. Also Pull & Bear.

I'm actually doing a research project at uni about clothing and pregnancy. If you could fill in this survey I'd be really grateful: uwoem2hdi8t.typeform.com/to/mzuKggeR :)

WYSE is another which might be lesser known. I always see something I like there, and I like their Instagram posts showing the clothes, and combinations on a variety of models.
