Ultimately, when it comes to clothes, we all differ in taste, style, finances and body shape. These 4 elements will influence where we want to and where we can shop for clothes we can wear.
My advice on the online retailers above are wholly based on my experiences, my own standards and knowing what suits my shape.
Therefore don't be surprised that I did not include some of the well know fatty friendly online retailers such as Simply Be,Evans and New Look Inspire. Why? I simply don't rate them for my taste and shopping experience.
Evans occaisionally have some good pieces, but they still lean towards frump, you really have to dig around. For the materials and work that is put in to their pieces, I consider them over price, still, if you can find a gem in their capsule designer ranges..
Simply Be... simply over priced, badly made and often badly styled. However, that said, for large larger ladies, it goes up to 32 on some lines and depending on your style and where you wear your chub, this might make it a lifesaver. The Joe Brown line is good.. eccentric in places but excellent knitwear, however, their sizing is incredibly frugal.
New Look Inspire - I used to love some of the lines that came out of Inspire, but like Evans, they've gone down the frump/plain/no style/no cut road. Horrid choice of materials and nothing really innovative. They used to scale up some of their seasonal wear.. but well... seems this is now lost to nostalgia. Shame, they do great cheap shoes if you are stuck for a last minute outfit.
So arm and inform yourself. Research if they offer what you are looking for and have fun in experimenting your style. Chances are you have more design creativity than me and can style up pieces, how you want them, I want design to go.
I have cakes to eat, Boyfriend to nibble, work and posts to write after all!
(PS - top tip is to check sites like MoneySuperMarket, VoucherCloud and GroupOn for discount codes)
