Sadly Kim, I fall into the category of being the wrong shape for everything! Even if I could get into expensive designer clothes they would look rubbish on me.
I agree that often the Q clothes are much the same as in high street chain stores but the prices are well above and then there is the hated p and p.
A typical ordinary everyday top in Marks/Debenhams etc will be about 29to 35 quid whereas on Q it will be more like 45 and then the postage both ways cos it won't fit. Whilst the DHS also have sizing issues they are never as extreme as Q and anyway you can try on several sizes on to see the fit.
Of course there are some ranges which seem to have been made especially for cruises, which is why DB Flint was able to a full Q wardrobe on hers. Unfortunately too many of the ranges come across as being suitable only for blue rinsed US ladies.
I think we would all take a few more chances with the clothes and shoes if either the sizes were better or if postage was capped.
Notice how there is never a fashion buy of the month with free P&p?
