if you wear a size 24/26, where do you shop???

As the title asks really. Just wondered what shops you shop in ( I mean actually go into the shop and try things on - not online)

Matalan
Tesco
New Look
Evans

H&M also do a range up to size 28-30.

I've seen up to size 24 in Marks n Spencer.

I'm not quite that big (size 18-20) but my friend has been.

She shops at Dorothy Perkins, New Look and Tesco.

Occasionally Evans but she worries that people will see her go in there and think she is fat

She always looks great. Me otoh, I just look like a sack. She can pull off big and beautiful way better than me.

Evans.
I find that the supermarkets are on the small side and Matalan stuff is too short and H&M are cut funny.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I didn't know matalan did anything above a size 22! Is that in all their stores or just some of their larger ones?

Fwiw when i was a size 18 I tried on a 22 in H+M it was teeny tiny and I ended up trying on a 28 and it was still too small so bear that in mind!

M and S (with very careful looking in Marble Arch store and online), Boden (I know you asked about online but I do like some of their new Size 22 things), NYDJ Tummy Tuck jeans in various colours and shapes, Marina Rinaldi (plus size label of Max Mara, in Bond St and Harrods).

When I was working in an office more or less all my stuff was Rinaldi. Now I'm a student again,with less money and less need for formal dressing, not such a high proportion but you can find some good funkier stuff there too and I do still treat myself sometimes.

Think I will have to shop around a bit more. I usually end up in long tops with leggings!
