Ann Harvey are much better, if a little safe, but please, what is this love affair with black? They do some great coloured tops, but when it comes to teaming them up with a bottom half, you get jeans, or black and navy trousers. I recently bought some summer trousers from there, and I asked at the checkout if they had any plans to make them in other colours, as I am sick of black. The girl on the checkout agreed, and said "maybe, in a couple of seasons, if they get asked enough for them"....a couple of seasons?! What happened to being at the cutting edge of fashion? Big girls fashion should have an eye to the catwalks, but interpret it for real women, not be so safe as to just keep churning out the same old stuff over and over again.

THE QUESTION

we can look as good as anybody else, better, given half the chance, but it takes 1. Why can't designers be more more thought, and with theadventurous fashion world in their as styling for bigger sizes? it is, the odds are stacked against us.

2. My biggest plea is for better quality

fabrics. I would pay more for classic There, once I get started........sorry.

THE QUESTION

"it is far more difficult to design for real women who have breasts, hips, and thighs you could crack walnuts with......" As to catwalk fashion, and the inability of designers to bite the bullet and come up with a meaningful collection every season for bigger girls, with the exception of Anna Scholz of course, the only answer I can come up with is that they haven't got the guts to do it; any idiot with a fashion degree can design for skinny girls whose primary function is to act as a clothes horse, nothing else, it is far more difficult to design for real women who have breasts, hips, and thighs you could crack walnuts with......

pieces in materials that have a bit of substance to them and hang well.

Wishlist

Jeans that fit, with right size pockets so my bottom doesn't look huge.

Wishlist

Jeans that fit, with right size pockets so my bottom doesn't look huge. Dresses that emphasise a womanly shape rather than concealing it – I don't want to wear tents. Jackets that are properly tailored for a bigger bosom. More dresses and tops with sleeves – many women have an issue with the tops of their arms. Retail staff who can help you put an outfit together with accessories – and tell you honestly if your bum simply does look too big in that dress.
