If I owned a clothes shop, I'd stock plenty of ...

[tennisknee]

... V neck tops that cover my tummy but not my hips.
What about you? What would your clothes shop stock?

Things that aren't in fashion right now so not stocked anywhere else because maybe right now people would like colours, suits that aren't cut oversize etc

Wow. So many great ideas. Especially pockets!
I wish it were possible to tag real shops 😊

Dresses and tops with wide straps- not spaghetti straps, and not high necks. I am busty and high nicks are as unflattering as low ones.

Skirts that are nice and stretchy round the hips and nice and swishy round the knees.

Bras for big boobs with good thick comfortable padded straps.
A tailor who can do simple alterations (turn up sleeves/cuffs) while you do the rest of the shop - like B&Q cutting glass to size while you wait.
Big pockets - like the pockets in men’s jackets/jeans.

Oh I'd love this lists are dresses with pockets, buttons that don't gape, high waisted jeans that I can tuck my belly in, skater style dresses below the knee, comfy knickers not full briefs and pretty bras for 32H that don't cost a fortune

Oh yes, very simple, plain, mandarin collar jackets in a variety of colours and fabrics. I’d buy all of them.

Longer length trousers in a size 14 and size 6.5 shoes!

Short fit trousers
Wide fit leather shoes
No polyester

That's all I ask.

Fitted, 'tailored-look' trousers with a degree of stretch that have a reinforced crotch area to avoid even a hint of camel toe.

Petite clothes that are suitable for really petite people (around 5 ft), are excellent quality (don't mind paying for this), and have something more interesting to offer than an endless range of black trousers (thanks Hobbs).

As a fellow 5 footer, I second petite clothes for petite people

My build needs and may struggle to locate

Very long in body items, including extra long sleeves.
High rise, Small waist with generous hips. Adjustable waist ideally.

But I would actually stock, for women, mostly clothes that suit apple shapes & plump pears. Most women are one of those. Most men need big gut clothes too, right?

Jeans where the material around the button hole doesn't curve outwards leaving a bump in your top.

Dresses designed for bigger boobs. I'm fed up of seeing lovely dresses that I know won't look remotely right on me because they're just not tailored to fit above a B cup.

Petite trousers that are actually petite in length.

Jumpers with shorter sleeves.

Shoes for narrow heels.

Waterproof shoes.

Cotton dresses with linings and pockets that come in a range of necklines and lengths.

Good quality T-shirts that don't twist in the wash.

Checked shirts that button up over boobs and don't gape.

Proper-sized pockets. I can't fit conkers, plastic dinosaurs, poky unicorns etc in those piddly wee women's pockets. I carry far more shit around than every man I know. Give me decent pockets.

Dark green things.

Thick white T-shirts.

Perfect fit trousers for every shape

Nice accessories, like you’d get years ago in high street shops.

Leather handbags / shoes / boots
Silk / wool / cotton scarves
Good quality / non-statement jewellery
Bikinis / swimsuits / beachwear
Hats / belts in wool / leather etc…

I still have stuff I bought back then.

Popped into Accessorise recently. Terrible!

Tailored shirts that do not have pockets on the breast (s). Normally, I want more pockers in women's clothes but I am an e cup and the last thing I need is more bulk on my boobs!

This! Annoyingly I am short of leg so take regular trousers. But tops all stop before the waistband.

And in plus sizes, but that might be asking alot.

Full-length sleeves. Fuck three-quarter-length sleeves. Just fuck them to hell. Why has the meteoric rise in self-harm been so relentlessly accompanied by the decline of sleeve-lengths that cover it?

Yes

I'm looking at you White stuff

l’d only stock long or short sleeves. 3/4 or ‘bracelet’ length do my head in!

Good quality lLONG sleeved (not those stupid 3/4 length sleeves) cotton tops with a wide or scoop neck that are thick but stretchy so hold their shape- in a range of black, white, grey and beautiful muted colours.

Bras that fit, give lift, but don't hurt me...: I can only dream

Shorts with pockets that are the perfect length
Tights that are impossible to ladder
Long sleeved dresses with pockets, again the perfect length
Bras that fit perfectly even though you're not a common size

And they would be in a range of sizes which are correctly labelled!

I'm on a roll now:

• Smart white work shirts that also aren't see-through and are short enough to tuck into trouser waistbands
• Slim fit merino jumpers in all colours, not just the 3 colours that fashion decided were in this year
• Smart hooded raincoats
• Knee-length navy cocktail dresses in petite
• Cord trousers that don't lose colour around the knees long before the rest of it wears out
• Swimming costumes for petite women with boobs
