I bought some lovely gypsy skirts from M&S Per Una last week. I think the Per Una range is not boring at all, there is some lovely stuff. Liz

I have found some great clothes in our local Co-op, got a lovely tirered crinkle skirt for £ 5 yesterday and have had loads of things from them this year, also Bhs and Bon Marche. I am an 18/20 erring on the 20 side!

The problem is not confined to 'fuller' either! As a weeny sized over 40, where do I find anything decent that doesn't make me look like a wrinkled school girl, or Aging-Mutton-Dressed-As-Tarty-Lamb. I live in jeans and t-shirts - given up trying! Bev x

Hi, Good sellers on ebay give very accurate sizes so I always measure myself and compare. A lot of the hippy type skirts are elasticated so that's not a big problem and the tops are usually loose and flowing. Gwynne

You can buy debenhams on the net - I got two tee shirts (Bardot style) half price last week and a tee shirt for Old Man half price - just google their site. They came in 3 days.

Gwynne, how do you find buying clothes on e-bay? i'm always too concerned that they won't fit if I buy them on there.

would you find them in Debs ?? guess you want them pretty quickly & no time for Ebaying

Anne, East have lots. I bought 2 last week. and ebay have loads and loads. Almost all my casual stuff is boho and I get quite a lot on ebay. Gwynne

I particularly like the Boho Chic/Gypsey skirts - otherwise known as broomstick skirts - I have always worn these but can't even find them anymore :O(

Dorothy Perkins is great or New Look.

Anne Have you been to Debenhams or Lewis at Bliewater ??

I'm nearly 62 and have had problems buying in the past, don't like straight up and down shapeless long black clothes, but have done really well this year, the clothes have got more shape to them, and are not so long. I tend to look at the George range in Asda, they have some nice stuff as well as crap and in all sizes, at very reasonable prices, if I don't like it on or it doesn't fit, take it back next week for a no quibble refund.

Anne, try 'dennya' its on the web as dennyandrews ,It might help.

OK DOUG - you go right ahead and tell me where I can find trendy fashionable clothes to fit a size 14/16 on the High Street - and give your personal recommendation of those particular outlets !! OR - just please remove your comments !!!!!!!!

Anne, my mum has the same problem :-)

Hi Em, Not quite so many as they had before I went there last week. lol, Gwynne

Hi Gwynne, yes you just reminded me.. East has some lovely clothes in at the moment.

Hi, East have lovely clothes in sizes up to 18 as do Monsoon. I used to love Wallis stuff but it's got a bit dull over the last year or so. I like Per Una at Marks, though. Gwynne
