I think that you should buy what suits your body type not worried about with its from this store or that one. Trinny and Sussanh say there are 12 types. The Body Shape Bible is the book they wrote. It goes beyond the 3 - apple, pear and hourglass shapes.

Although in saying that, I saw someone wearing the same item as clothing I owned and well, lets just say I wasnt too happy with their age or how they acted.

Im a Plus sized girl and I buy from everywhere! Autograph for somethings, although agree that they tend to have some more older fashions. They used the have the Danni range but stopped when their other company CITY chic got going. They can be expensive for some things and places like Big W, Kmart etc have basic items which are better value for money. Then other places like MySize, BeME etc, plus USA brands like Torrid.

Plain colours are good because at the end of the day NO-ONE will know where they are from, but with prints and such, they will know.

You could do to a whole range of places Rockmans, Katies / Autograph / City Chic ,Suzanne Grae ,Target ,Big W ,KMart and mix and match.


I will PM you the link to the article about the body types, im sure I have it bookmarked somewhere
