Advantages: Up to the minute fashion in sizes 16-32 Disadvantages: £2.95 delivery charge
Evans the high street store specialising in clothes for the larger lady has a website from which you can browse their range at www.evans.ltd.uk and also a catalogue from which you can order from.
Long gone are the days when all you could pick up in your local Evans store was a flowery tent for that night out! Now they have an excellent range of clothing in up to date fashion. Also available is a good range of underwear, swimwear and footwear ... ...at £40.
There is a delivery charge of £2.95 but returns are free. The site also has views and competitions on it and i would recommend taking a look at it as there are some really nice clothes, and you won't feel a frump when you shop here.

Evans the high street store specialising in clothes for the larger lady has a website from which you can browse their range at www.evans.ltd.uk and also a catalogue from which you can order from. Long gone are the days when all you could pick up in your local Evans store was a flowery tent for that night out! Now they have an excellent range of clothing in up to date fashion. Also available is a good range of underwear, swimwear and footwear - my personal favourite are the knee length stretch boots at £40. There is a delivery charge of £2.95 but returns are free. The site also has views and competitions on it and i would recommend taking a look at it as there are some really nice clothes, and you won't feel a frump when you shop here.
Advantages: My husband likes me 16+ Disadvantages: The fashion industry should produce wearable clothes in all sizes - not fancy dress in size 8
In this section you will find an opinion from a lady who cannot find 16+ petite, everything being too long. There are also a couple of opinions on Evans, which are far too complimentary.
I have been in there a couple of times recently (different branches) and I am amazed at the high prices being asked for poor quality fabrics and badly made clothes. One jacket I picked up, part of a mix-and-match range had an uneven hem, a loose button and looked ... ...What would that look like after a day at the office.
The whole of the British fashion industry have to get used to the fact that the majority of women in this country do not look like Posh Spice and have no hope of ever doing so. Instead theyve invented another scam - undersizing to save money and make us feel miserable about our size.
If a label says 16, then it should BE 16. A jacket I ordered from Look again was marked 18, yet it was smaller ...

Advantages: range of styles and sizes. Returns simplified by physical shops Disadvantages: only those intrinsic to mail order for clothing
As the web face of the well known high street chain, it has to be said one of it's main advantages is those bricks and mortar stores. If returning things wasn't so easy (a quick trip to my local store) I would probably be less enthusiastic about ordering online, as clothes are so fiddly to judge without seeing them in person. Bearing in mind all the usual reservations about mail order clothing, this is actually a pretty good site - fairly well organised ... ...each main item, I just don't always understand at all what the relation is!) giving fairy detailed information about the clothes, and the photos are designed to actually show the clothes, rather than just project an image (If I'm buying a dress I want to see the whole dress, not just from the waist up!)> My local store doesn't carry the whole 'Seven' range (their funkier range), so this site is great from that point of view.
Ordering is easy, although ...

Advantages: Wide choice of fashion Disadvantages: Not all items always in stock
I've only recently discovered Evans - and now I wonder what took me so long! I'm slightly concious of my size and find it a little embarrassing looking round the shops for something that fits. At last I can mooch through pages of fashion in the comfort of my own home and have it delivered to my door to try on. No more embarrassment in public changing rooms! The selection is wide - and ordering is easy. One gripe I did have is that some things I chose ...

Advantages: wide size 16+ Disadvantages: slow web site
Evans is unique as it has the widest range of fashion available anywere for a size 16+ in one place. I currently have the latest catalouge at home for evens direct and i find that there is more choice then in my local store but then the local store is extreamly small. There range goes from your basic wardrobe to sexy underwear to shoes and there is a great range for younger shoppers too. The prices are very reasonable and start at £10 for your basic ... ...tend to think larger ladies want to dress exactly the same as a skinny minny which isn't always the case ,some of the clothes arn't very flattering for a size 16+ i.e a hankerchief top, god would i look a site in that! but if you have the confidance to wear it then good luck. Over all a big thumbs up find then at www.evans.ltd.uk ...

Advantages: Look by product ie skirt Disadvantages: No a big enough range
I have used evans online for many years, I found it particualy useful before i had my daughter and was still working in London.
I never had the time to pop in for neccesities like tights and so found it useful just to order them online. I also liked to be able to search by product, so if i needed a skirt i didn't have to spend hours trawling through item after item, i could in one click see all the skirt they offered.
This site use to be great, ... ...outfits, but I have noticed in the last year that they have reduced greatly the amount they sell online. They no longer sell tights or shoes and have a greatly reduced choice of items.
I have found that sometimes I want to buy everything and other times can not find one thing i like, they seem to go from trendy to downright frumpy.
ok you are able to shop by product, style or if u have there catalogue by product code.
All the products come in ...
