it's called sod's law!! whatever size you want is the one that will be sold out - whether you are an 8 or a 28 or anything in between! I love New Look it's my favourite shop :-)) their sale rail is my idea of heaven!! Maz. XX

Hello Maz Same here, thats the first rail i go for!! lol it didnt help at matalan because the sizes on the coathangers were different to the sizes of the actual clothes!! I had to look at the label of every thing! I did get some nice plates from there though! x karen

Matalan trousers/jeans bottoms etc get on my wick, they think because you are a larger size you also have to be 6 ft tall. Im 5ft.7in but trousers are at least six inches too long every time. Its a real shame as they have some nice bits there as well Elaine x

It's not fair two years ago when I wore size 8, they had all big sizes, now I wear size 14/16 there seems to be more small sizes. M.

Elaine, i have the same problem, im only 5'4 so i find it hard to find jeans that fit in the length, new look is good for having different lengths of jeans. Maz.. theres a difference between being tight and being bargain hunters, i like looking in the teenage clothes they are a lot cheaper than the ladies! I could have spent loads in there on underwear and nightwear, i like all the disney pjs which are out now. x karen
