DN, 12 but size 18. Where to buy clothes?

My niece, aged 12, has a brain tumour. As well as leaving her blind and slightly delayed (emotional age of around 8), it has also caused huge weight gain.

Please can you give some suggestions of where to get some summer dressed, t-shirts, shorts etc, in age-appropriate styles (bearing in mind she would quite like jersey dresses etc and is young for her), but size 18/20. She is autistic so prefers relatively plain styles, natural fibres, few seams/ornaments etc.

Thanks so much!

(Not in stock online, but perhaps they have in store)

I agree with PP recommendations for Popsy clothing*. Nice soft jersey dresses with pockets in some really unique patterns. They also do free alterations at the point of purchase so you could have the skirt/sleeves shortened to suit your nieces height/arm length.

*As an adult with a wardrobe of popsy dresses, I disagree with the comment that someone wouldn’t wear it as an adult - we all have our own tastes
