When the label first appeared in the UK, I bought quite a few super pieces, but I think the firm must have been taken over because all of a sudden things changed, now I can't find anything to suit, at least on this side of the pond.<BR/><BR/>Yes, I understand that Lauren isn't everyone's cup o' tea. He caters to a group of which I'm right on the edge....it's as much the spirit of the clothes I love, as anything. :-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-42106737007047205522008-12-28T09:00:00.000-06:002008-12-28T09:00:00.000-06:00Hi Rossa~~~Oh I miss Marks and Spencer almost more...Hi Rossa~~~<BR/>Oh I miss Marks and Spencer almost more than anything else - their foodstuffs, as well as their clothing products. They went through a period of doldrums fashion-wise, but last time I visited the UK in 2005 they had a wonderful snazzy collection of clothing.<BR/><BR/>I'm around average size-wise, so there really shouldn't be a problem, but there is. Perhaps Brits and Americans are just built differently.<BR/><BR/>I envy you your bumpers...lol!Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-46220172344373252302008-12-27T21:01:00.000-06:002008-12-27T21:01:00.000-06:00@Rossa:Have you tried Liz Claiborne?

I too am large busted and find her designs classical and shapely.<BR/>@T:<BR/>Like Rossa, I find Lauren caters to a different body structure than mine. ah me.<BR/>Interesting man though.<BR/>XO<BR/>WWWWisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-44429992379189046532008-12-27T15:14:00.000-06:002008-12-27T15:14:00.000-06:00I'm totally in tune with you on this one. I...I'm totally in tune with you on this one. I've been an M&S girl for years only because there aren't many shops selling trousers for long legged women. Dresses have always been a no no cos the waist was up under my bust...not empire line, just supposed to be on my waist, ha ha! So separates were all I could find and then touch and go.<BR/><BR/>Also the big bumpers at the front don't help. Built for comfort not for speed! Most of the outsize outlets fitted on the bust but I ended up looking like an elephant in a tent..not the most seductive look on the planet....LOL<BR/><BR/>Then along came Bravissimo. Originally just for underwear, but then brought out a range of clothing designed to fit the larger busted lady who still wanted something fitted. Wow, at last, I can have curves without gapping or acres of material flapping around. The "smock" look just is not me!<BR/><BR/>Like everything else it can take a few years to get into a "style" and know what suits and what does not...still got a few mistakes in the wardrobe but not so many these days.<BR/><BR/>Not sure many designers are for size 16+ (UK), though I can always dream. Which is amazing considering the average size in the UK now is a size 16.Rossahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06121831076599069841noreply@blogger.com
