I have a few friends that really struggle when it comes to going shopping and buying plus size clothing. Up until a few years ago, the choices were quite limited.
Naturally, there is the first choice for most plus size figures, which is Evans. Evans gives women the ability to feel sexy in the latest styles at a great price. I have been in a couple of times and been surprised at how great the choices are. I like the fact the sales staff are larger ladies themselves, which i would imagine makes the whole plus size clothing experience much more comfortable.
However, there is also Simply Be, which is a mail-order catalogue and online store offering clothing in sizes 14-32. If the thought of going into a high street store and choosing your fashions fills you with dread, then Simply Be is a great solution, because you can shop from the comfort of your own home. My friend hates going into Evans for the simple fact that everyone else looking for plus-size clothing will be in there too. Plus size clothing is still a relatively small market, and it's not like you can go to Topshop, then move onto Miss Selfridge of Warehouse if you don't find the right thing...you're just kind of stuck with one high street store, and i think many people feel obliged to buy from there because there are so few other options.
If you are a plus-size lady, be sure to check out eBay for some great bargains and some rather trendy options. Shopping worldwide will increase your chances of getting that perfect outfit.
I think it is a shame that there are so few options for buying plus size clothing, so shopping online might just be the key.

Also, don't automatically walk by the familiar high street stores; Marks And Spencer offer a lovely plus size collection. Miss Selfridge have some styles that go up to size 16, which is great for those of us in need of clothing just that little bit bigger.
