    Hi Nicola,

    I've moved your thread from the Ladies Lounge to the Fashion and Appearance forum as it's more appropriate and I think you might have more luck here.

    Please be aware that the F&A charter is now in effect.

    Argh I had a long reply typed out for you and my crappy computer crashed!
    What size are you actually looking for?
    I've an aunt in her late 60s who's a size 24, so I'll give you a rundown of some of her favourites.
    She spends a bit of time in Austria and always came home with lots from Ulla Popken - they used to have stores in Ireland but I think they're online only now.
    For dressy stuff, Jacques Vert do classic styles up to size 24.
    For more fashion led, casual things, New Look has the odd gem.
    Mango's plus size range, Violeta, is gorgeous.
    Esprit do up to a size 18, quite an easy fit.
    S Oliver go up to I think a 26, lovely quality tops and knitwear, trousers look dodgy enough.
    Gerry Weber go up to a 20 and do nice quality, well cut clothes. Expensive but classic stuff with the sort of twists that will appeal to an older lady.
    Anna Scholz do lovely knitwear in a cotton and cashmere blend - luxurious stuff with prices to match but they do nice bright colours that are hard to find in plus sizes at this time of year (everything tends to be black or red, which must get a bit old year after year)

    Hi OP,

    My partner's Mam is in her seventies and a size 20/22. She never shops for herself, but doesn't dress 'old' if you know what I mean so her family generally end up buying her clothes for Xmas/birthday etc. Anyway from experience Paco have some nice casual stuff, Punt Roma which is stocked in Shaws is a bit dressier and Debenhams can have some nice plus stize stuff too, but it seems to depend on the store
