new here ,got a question
 

Hello there,

Just joined today. other half is on here too. We thinking about moving to Spain in the near future.

I`m a big girl and was wondering if it is easy to get6 Plus sizes in Spain? Silly question I know, but had to ask.

take care
Nicky

Re: new here ,got a question
 

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?

Aw go on Sue... you do it and everyone else will follow xx

Re: new here ,got a question
 

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.

Re: new here ,got a question
 

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.

Re: new here ,got a question
 

lager sizes crispy ?

and as for your internet shopping, you do see loads of spam for www sexylingerie dot com ;)

Re: new here ,got a question
 

I have a hangover:thumbdown:

Re: new here ,got a question
 

Makes a change from me then! :rofl:

Re: new here ,got a question
 

I`m definatly in trouble then,lol. way taller then 5 ft. You said you get Underwear and swimmwear online,what website do you use and do they deliever to Spain?

Thanks
Nicky

Re: new here ,got a question
 

They wear those very becoming tent style dresses.

Rosemary

Re: new here ,got a question
 

Tent or Toldo ?

Re: new here ,got a question
 

Here in Spain, EBay is your friend, clothes for plus sizes, especially from the USA and Canada are easy to find, some UK people do NOT send to Europe, but the USA and Canada always do, and postage rates are very reasonable,
often cheaper than from the UK.

Re: new here ,got a question
 

NEXT deliver to Spain if thats any help. Just click on the spanish flag on their UK website.

Re: new here ,got a question

Sorry Rose, NEXT just don't go anywhere near my size:rofl:

Re: new here ,got a question

Re: new here ,got a question
 

Would that apply to a pool cover?

Re: new here ,got a question
 

Oi, she ain`t that big. ;-))

Re: new here ,got a question
 

crispy they do honest they have a larger size section and send to spain Honest

Re: new here ,got a question
 

:thumbsup:You've seen me so it must be true:lol: I'll have to check their site out.

Re: new here ,got a question
 

You been peeking again JDR:p

Re: new here ,got a question
 

Your Rude :rolleyes: I was just wondering if that site you recommended would send one of their walk on types over for a reasonable price.

Re: new here ,got a question
 

There is a fashionable shop in the new N4 shopping centre in Ecija that caters for the naturally curvacious lady. Got a name similar to Kookai will have a look for the actual name when next there and post. Sorry only one but better than none.

Well in the UK their stuff doesn't fit me either BUT - the EURO site does up to size 22 and up to size 28 in a section they call 'Additional sizes' they also have a tall range which they deliver to Spain. I've never actually used it, I bought far too many clothes in the UK last year before I left, but it does look quite promising.

M & S website says they are considering overseas delivery soon too.

Another thought. There is an Outlet Village near us just outside Barcelona where I've often found good value stuff outside the normal range of spanish sizes, same way you often find only the large and small sizes left in the sales at home. Particularly good for underwear. Maybe there will be one of these near where you will be living.

Re: new here ,got a question

Re: new here ,got a question
 

Have you looked at the local chicas ? There are plenty of big Spanish Ladies here. Our local shops in Fuente alamo cater for all sized ladies. Hope that helps....
