I can't buy any clothes here because I am too big!

Re: new here ,got a question
 

What is too big and where do you get your clothes?

Well, Jan says that there is a problem, and a lot of the Spanish clothing doesn't suit her. Her strategy is to shop via catalogues in the UK, get the clothes delivered to the kids, and come back now and then to collect them.

Then there's always Gibraltar......

On the costas there may well be better access tho.

If you are larger than a size 12 you are not going to find anything that fits thats for sure! I think they only cater for skinny minnies here! :frown:

Re: new here ,got a question
 

That's more or less what Jan says, except she uses the term 'Skinny cow' instead. :eek:

Re: new here ,got a question
 

Well i skimmed through but because we both have separate PCs i never thought that it was anything to worry about. We are on the same network using NAT which looks the same from the outside :-/

Sowee!

Re: new here ,got a question
 

You will find the larger C&A stores do larger sizes and also El Corté Ingles to an extent but not a lot of choice. There are some very large Spanish ladies.

Re: new here ,got a question
 

Yeah, but if I've understood Jan correctly, the clothes are either too young and too small or else more than a bit frumpy.

Re: new here ,got a question
 

Frumpy sorts of sums it up yes.
According to my OH.

Re: new here ,got a question
 

I'm a big girl, it is very difficult to get larger sizes here and even harder if you happen to be taller than 5ft. It has got easier since C&A have come into this part of Spain, within an hours drive I can reach at least 4 of them, a couple of them even cater for the taller larger lady which is great. :thumbsup:

In Gib you will find Evans they are good and LittleWoods also go up to size 20in somethings, M&S, well what can I say they go up to 20/22 in very limited range but you have to be over 80 to qualify to wear them:thumbdown:. El Corte Ingles do have larger size but they also come with a much larger price tag, way over what I would consider paying, 199.00 euros :eek: for a pair of trousers I don't think so some how.

Bras don't get me started on them:curse:, 36J is a size that I think the Spanish have never heard of, I buy all my underwear and swimming stuff via the internet it's the only way.
