I did many years ago, when the range of plus sizing was limited on the High Street, and catalogues only had a select choice above a size 18.
QVC with their 2xl and 3xl sizing were a bit of a revelation, and I bought into it with gusto. My wardrobe had such a variety of clothing that it had never seen before.
Fast forward 20 years, and the fashion industry has woken up to the fact that size 16 and above is here to stay, so shops and the internet are now awash with choice for us curvy girls like never before.
I have just received the latest Kaleidoscope autumn catalogue, and for the first time their sizing is up to a 28 for everything in their collection (admittedly their stuff does come up ridiculously small, but at least they're trying). AND its only one p & p price point regardless of how much is ordered, and free returns.
Clearly QVC are having to fight back with spasmodic items on free p & p, and now we have a complicated TSV with two being offered in a 24 hour period (I think, not sure about that), but there is very little else that inspires me to purchase from them in the quantities I once did.
