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 - my ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

Advantages: Fashionable clothes in large sizes Disadvantages: a bit pricey
Evans, originally a size 16+ shop, are now stocking clothes from size 14+. Their clothes fit well, and are flattering (mostly). I find this shop is best for formal wear, suits, evening dresses etc.
They also do casual wear, but it doesnt fit so well, and is overpriced, compared to other high street stores.
If you're a size 14-18, you can buy clothes cheaper in New Look, Asda and Etams, but for size 20+, Evans gives you a good choice of fashionable ...

Advantages: No annoying beanpole shop assistants Disadvantages: Generally for a less fashion conscious clientele
At a size 20 I am rather conscious of my size so was delighted at the thought of on-line shopping. No more quizzical glares from beanpole shop assistants!!.
So one rainy afternoon I sat myself in front of my PC to select an outfit for an works evening out. I perused the site (which was admittedly easy to find your way around) to find a mixture of black and brown clothes designed to hang on anyone who would dare wear them and make the most toned ...

Shopping with Evans mail order catalogue has been a total nightmare.
The first time I ordered only 2 items out of 5 were available the others being sold out even though the catalogue had only been out a few weeks, the clothes were cut poorly, and were 'tent like' they had no shape to them at all and rather than flattering a fuller figure made it seem twice the size!
When asking for my refund cheque, after many phonecalls and letters to them 5 months ...
