...fashionable without looking like Pat Evans from Eastenders, although do you not think her earrings are pure class?? What do you mean no? Well for those girls and ladies out there that don’t fit into the normal clothing ranges in most fashion shops, which is just about a size 14-16, you should pop into your nearest Evans, a ladies clothing store that specialises in clothing larger ladies from head to toe and just happens to cater for most tastes, ...
...Design by Linda Benson Evans own in-house fashion designer has designed a well tailored range of clothing suitable for special occasions like Christmas, parties etc, her range is elegant yet still managing to retain a perfect amount of style. I happen to love her range although I do find it a little expensive with the average dress costing around £90, but great when the sale arrives, I am sometimes lucky enough to get the same dress for around £40-£50. ...

...to see. See back then Evans was known as “the outsize store” so everyone knew where you had been to do your clothes shopping! My how things have changed since then, and thank goodness for that! I really do not remember how many years Evans stores have been around, all I can say is that my Great Aunt used to do her shopping at her local one in Hampshire and that was when I was much younger, and considerably smaller!! Ho ho!! That was in ...
...been shopping at my local Evans store for quite some time now and I am always pleasantly surprised at the selection of clothes they carry. Here, just because we are ‘big babes’ doesn’t mean we want to walk around in shapeless, unflattering garments; we too want to be ‘dedicated followers of fashion’! Ok well not quite then, even I would draw the line at those triangle bits of material with the strings at the back that ...

...a size 18 . Thankfully, Evans is a shop you'll find on many high streets catering to the fuller figure - sizes 14 and up all the way to 32 . With over 330 Evans stores around the UK and Ireland , you probably have one near you . I already knew about Evans - my mums the same size as me, and had been shopping there for years, but the clothes had always seemed a little dull and mature . I don't know whether its my own tastes changing, or a shift in ...

The first thing to note about the Nottingham store is that it has level access from the street, and also a lift up to the first floor , as well as steps . This is great as it means the store is accessible to wheelchair users or those who are less mobile. The ground floor stocks a range ...

...is based on my local Evans store in Harlow, Essex. My store is located at the Water Gardens which is a shopping area with outdoor seating and ponds and what not. The store is twinned with Dorothy Perkins so you have Dorothy Perkins downstairs and then Evans upstairs, they have an escalator leading up and stairs for getting upstairs & downstairs, it's slightly strange that they have an escalator going upstairs but not downstairs? Maybe they think ...
...from Dorothy Perkins up to Evans but this isn't very clear when you visit the store as you would head straight for the stairs. The lift is a little scary as it is just big enough for two people with a pushchair and you have to press the button continuously yourself to go up or down. There are safety bars though which stop you from getting crushed against the ceiling! The store is very well spaced out, they have quite a lot of choice too ranging from ...

Review of Evans (Shop)

Evans has changed quite a lot in the last few years and not really for the better. A few years ago, Evans was pretty much the only place you could buy clothes in sizes over a 16. Since then, a LOT of high-street shops have started doing larger sizes as well. You'd think that with the added competition, Evans would up the ante to keep their customers, but it seems to me like they're determined to do just the opposite. Firstly, there's the clothes ...
...You'd think a shop like Evans would pick up on this and style their clothes accordingly. A few years ago, this was the case but more recently, they seemed to have abandoned this idea and gotten just as bad as the rest. Their trousers and jeans are very hit-and-miss. I tried on three pairs of trousers the other day, all marked as the same size, but one pair was impossibly tight on the thighs and too loose around the waist, the next was too loose on ...

...If you haven't popped into Evans lately, you're missing one of the best collections I've seen in ages. Gone is the old fogey fashion of nasty nylons, crimplenes and slacks. Evans now seem to be concentrating on the younger generation (and of course I still consider myself in that bracket). Let's face it, most women in this country are over a size 16 anyway. I managed to pick up some black jeans, a nice camel fleece, two skirts, two trendy tops (sleevless ...
...10% discount for opening an Evans Account. I opened the account while I was in there because I knew that I was going to get a lot of stuff and it was ever so quick and easy to do. I'm not a great supporter of store cards and credit cards, but the discount was too good to miss out on and I rubbed my hands with glee. The clothes are absolutely lovely, well made, good quality and excellent value for money. I thoroughly enjoyed popping in and out of ...

...most recent catwalk trends. Evans clothes are of a good quality, and I've shopped there a lot of times, I've never needed to take anything back because of the quality. They do give full refunds within seven days if something doesn't fit, and I believe it's 28 days if it breaks or there's something wrong with it. The staff have always been polite, they will always offer you advice and are friendly, and they always give you the hangers for your clothes ...

...her word for it. Evans is a very weird place, because you see loads of blokes like me floating around on tbhe pavement outside or trying to pass the time inside, bickering over ownership of the one chair which can normally be found hidden away in a shadowy corner while their ample framed partner browses around for a suitably styled large gown. Two hours have never passed so slowly and grudgingly as they did on this particular day because men and ...
...a happy one.... Anyway, Evans is a reputable chain of women's clothes shops and seems to cater well for its chosen market, women who are just that little bit bigger, although most women seem to fit into that category these days. I'm not exactly impressed by the way these places are laid out, because there is little circulation space around the carousels of large dresses and the women in there seem to relish getting up close to you and getting embarrassingly ...

Review of Evans (Shop)

I think that D.H. Evans is a fantastic shop if you’re on the larger side of small. It certainly is fabulous for women like myself… young (21) and wanting to wear sexy clothes. I hardly ever shop in Evans, for reasons that I’ll come to shortly, but I work in a shop in which there is an Evans department, and I work on it fairly frequently. I found that I was rather impressed with the range of clothes available for the larger lady ...
...a few years ago. Apparently, Evans has become “frumpy” and “old-fashioned”. I have to agree to seeing what they mean. On the one hand, there is a nice range of casual clothing: jeans, t-shirts, jumpers etc. Anything you’d want to laze around the house in. On the other, there is a lovely range of knitwear, and a fantastic selection of velour and sparkly “going out”-wear. The problem that customers have, in ...

Review of Evans (Shop)

I too have to shop at Evans, they are definitely a lot trendier than they were. But I'm sure when they design the clothes, they still forget we need longer waisted clothes. Trouser's and waist bands are always too short on me and end up revealing much more at the back than I care to reveal. I can't wear mini skirts so like long skirts that hide as much as possible, being 5ft 10 as well, I have a similar problem to the lady in the previous post. They ...
...broad feet and a high instep as well, but even that range of shoes seems to be shrinking in size. I love boots but at the moment cannot even get half of my foot in one, especially the side zipped ones that are in fashion at the moment. They haven't twigged we need wider ankle space and across the foot space in boots as its a fairly good guess that we won't have very slim legs and ankles. Shoes with straps going across is another nightmare in itself. ...

...day. I have emailed Evans about this, written letters to Headquarters, left comments in the comments book, and all to absolutely no avail whatsoever. Evans do redeem themselves with the simple, cool, poly-cotton cheesecloth effect blouses and shirts that they produce every summer. In every colour you could possibly want, as well as the old-faithful standby black, white and navy, they have formed the backbone of my summer wardrobe for over 5 years ...
...do not shrink. And Evans "linen" clothes, even the items they claim to be 100% linen, shrink. It doesn't matter how you wash them. I have a handwash programme on my washing machine, and even this turns Evans linen into barbie clothes. I have spoken to a couple of assistants in the Oxford Circus and Marble Arch stores about this, and whilst they are, as always, helpful and friendly, the only response you get is their own horror stories about the ...

...can get them all in Evans and all for us big and beautiful girls! Firstly apologies to all the size 10's out there but this will probably be of no interest to you. I'd like to thank Evans for providing sexy and sweet undies for larger women. I'm a size 22 girl with a loving fiance who loves having something to hold on to. Every day I pick up magazines and read the fashion articles avidly, but its always slim women modelling. I read about the sizes ...
...bet you still think of Evans as a shop for maturer women, yes grannies. In the past a lot of their range was aimed at ladies of a certain age, but with Seven being launched a few years ago they now cater for everyone. Seven is the range featuring the most up to date fashions, but the highlight for me is that they haven't forgot about undies! Don't get me wrong, sometimes it's great to have big pants on, especially for that big night out where we ...

I can see then what they look like on me not some attractive size 14 woman who would look good in sackcloth! Evans clothes do start at size 14-16 and they go right up to size 36-38 and shoes up to size 10, these are the sizes required by a good many of the british female population. ...

Evans have separate (clean, tidy) cubicles as opposed to communal changing rooms and staff are always eager to help. ...
