hi all - would also like to join in with the mutual twinset&pearls devotion!

additions direct do Oasis clothing up to a size 20 which I love, sells out pretty quickly though so keep watching!

am off to spend a lot of money on credit card having stuff delivered to try on for a party in a couple of weeks - I HATE shopping in person and prefer to pay for delivery - normally to have it all sent back though

will post any good things I find

well done twinset

dizzydixies · 10/11/2008 16:46

I quite like Oli for looking for stuff as you can select the garment you like e.g dresses then select size e.g size 22 and it will bring up only the dresses in that size - there is nothing worse than looking and finding something you like but not in your size

size 22 Oli dresses

dizzydixies · 10/11/2008 16:48

this is lovely and up to a size 20 I do love midnight blue, a v neck with wide straps AND ruching

twinsetandpearls · 10/11/2008 16:50

Yes califrua I think I got igigi from you, it is fab.

Thankyou for the lovely comments I need them today am having such a crap day.

Ooh love oli and have bought things in the past for my slimmer sisters but never for myself.

In a distant time in the future when I have some money I will have a look.

Yuk! I've just had some boots delivered from simplybe and I've had to send them back because they stink of cigarettes. The plastic wrapping, the box, the boots, everything.

Obviously as I am pregnant it made everything just that little bit smellier, but ugh! Am really disappointed.

Great thread though.

damson wrap dress here

dizzydixies · 10/11/2008 17:00

va va VOOM!!!

I love this, now I just need an occassion - I don't think my aunts 60th is the way to go here

twinsetandpearls · 10/11/2008 17:17

That is odd llareggub the quality of some of their own brand cheaper shoes can be questionable but never heard of that.

llareggub · 10/11/2008 17:19

I have complained, but have heard nothing back.

twinsetandpearls · 10/11/2008 17:21

Sally I have the exact same thing with next trousers.

I have no money for shopping so have loved virtual shopping for others.

Well twinset I know you are having a shitty day but I thought you might smile to know that since yesterday i have bought:

Have not bought so much for ages! And I really really need a few things for going out.

So thank you so much!

Thanks sally - I hope it's nice on me!

twinsetandpearls · 10/11/2008 22:40

Oh Buda that had made me smile, I have the brown wrap dress and waterfall cardi so can promise it will look great.

That back lace dress is bang on trend, let me know what it is like.

Buda · 10/11/2008 22:43

are you me Buda [suspicious emoticon]

Whendid next start doing up to size 28?

Buda · 10/11/2008 22:53

No Kewc - I can definitively say I am not you! At least I don't think so?

Re Next - have no idea but i was very excited when I realised!

dizzydixies · 11/11/2008 21:05

hi, sorry to blunder in again but I forgot to mention that did everyone know New Look have a larger section which includes some of their usual clothing but in bigger sizes AND Matalan stock a range called Papaya which goes up to a 20 which is nice as well as their larger range (Rodgers and Rodgers I think) too?

twinsetandpearls · 11/11/2008 21:08

Thanks dizzydixies.

whoever asked for shrugs that dont come over your boobs...i have this black & diamonte one £14 from new look and its very flattering to my large norks

the coloured ones further down are a similar shape and good for jazzing up black outfits

i never wear ones that fasten with buttons or ties and especially those with ruffles as 32Js don't need any adornment

NumberFour · 23/11/2008 20:29

Thousand thanks for the thread! Just wish I had ordered one or two things a while ago because some of the things are gone!
