...from the comfort of your own home or on the High Street. I discovered this shop locally a few years ago, and I always pop in on payday to see what they've got. I picked up a couple of lovely jumpers ready for the cold-weather-onset last week, and was chuffed to bits to find they have an online store as well, for those days when I'm feeling really lazy and can't be bothered to go out in the rain and walk to the town centre!
Yours caters for up to a size 28. They actually hit the high street in 1997, in a discount store in Felixstowe, Suffolk. I used to shop in there when lived in Ipswich, funnily enough. The 14-32 fashions continually sold out - leaving just the smaller sizes.
They decided to take advantage of the obvious and open a shop that catered specifically to the plus-size woman; a shop that would provide an alternative to existing High Street retailers. The store, then called Size Up, was an immediate success. They are proud of the fact that they actually listen to their clientele,

Wahey! Someone's listening! And here's some of what you can find in store:
