Shopping for clothes ? Then welcome to Jane's CD Shopping Guide. Here I share my experiences of buying clothes in the hope that it may help you in your buy nice clothing at sensible prices. This guide is limited to UK retailers. All of the clothing outlets cater for at least size 18 many up to size 20. I rate each according to price, quality and service. Please note that only sites that I have purchased from will be listed on this page. Let me know if I have missed any nice outlets and I'll check them out before listing them. Ever been frustrated trying to buy a pair of shoes. Looking for a pair of normal court shoes in big sizes. Medissa stock a range of shoes in large sizes and wide fittings and are listed by many web sites as being TV friendly. They do like to ensure that the shoes fit and may come back with some questions I’d strongly advise e-mailing them for sizing advice in andvance of ordering. We got a phone call within two days offering an alternative style as my first choice were out of stock. Depending on your own circumstances this could be a potential problem. The shoes are relatively expensive, £60.00 in our case, but it’s worth the price for good service and quality shoes from a UK source.
My favourite store with clothes up to size 20. A good range of clothing is available on their internet site at very reasonable prices. On line stock availability means you won't be waiting weeks for something that is out of stock. You will also get a small catalogue with your order listing their online range. Look out for sales - I once picked up two dresses and a skirt and blouse for £20 but you have to be quick !!
Another nice store with a wide range of clothing on their web site. Many styles in larges sizes up to 18-20. Quality of the clothing is good. Their recent sale was a useful source of cut price nice quality clothing. Look out for the next one ! Full sized hard back catalogue sent to customers containing a full range of clothing and household goods for all the family.
Good quality although generally more expensive than other stores. Their clothing ranges from good quality classics to more modern styles. Their web site range is wide enough to have choices for most. Nice range of sizes which are offer a more generous fit than most. End of season sales can be really good value. No unsolicited mailings from M&S as yet.
This retailer specialises in clothes for the taller lady. CD's beware, a 36" inside leg is a rare asset in our community. Skirts and dresses are good quality but again check the length you order or you'll be wearing your highest heels with this outfit. No online stock status means you can wait ages to find out the frock you need for your night out will not arrive in time. Prices can be high and it's worth checking the Tall sections of other retailers to compare. Small catalogue of their range sent out for each season.
Good quality clothing but limited offering on the web site. You will need to buy the Next directory for £3 before you can really start using this site for online shopping. The main catalogue has a nice range of office wear.
A traditional mail order catalogue with an online store as well. Expect to pay a little more but you do get free postage, 10% cash back, 20 weeks to pay and the Fashion Extra additional catalogue caters for larger sizes. Note I got a welcome call after my first order no problem to me but it could be embarrassing if your trying to be discreet.
