This company sell some very nice clothes that are suitable for all sizes especially for those who require the larger sizes They can be a very difficult company to deal with if there are any problems. As long as everything runs fine there is no problem. The catalogue and website are owned by one company who trade under different names ie Fashion World, Oxendale, Home Shopping Direct, JD Williams etc. They sell the same clothes in every catalogues. They are very poor at communicating with customers when there is a problem and will ignore letters etc.It is very difficult to get problems corrected. They charge a monthly interest on goods it is presently approximately APR of 29%. If paying by direct debit beware as they will virtually only take the barest minimum payment so that you are only just about clearing the interest charge every month but paying very little of the actual balance. The interest charges are added immediately so even if you decide to pay for the goods straightaway you will find interest has been added. The interest is also added when you order goods so I would advise that you check your monthly balance. I have had a account with them and their other companies and decided not to have anything more to do with them as I have had so many problems over not being credited for returned goods faulty goods etc. They have some good clothes for the bigger sizes but beware of the home products as they can be of a poor standard and usually much more expensive than if you buy them in the high street. The catalogue which appears to have the lowest prices is called JD Williams. I have seen goods advertised as reduced in the leaflets they send and found them even cheaper with one of their other catalogues. I hope this will be of interest.

They're not the cheapest solution. I buy from ebay sellers and a chap who periodically imports from America.
