As someone who's always been quite a bit (a lot) shorter than they'd really like to be when I click onto this modern, stylish website I always wish (fleetingly) that they offered clothes I could wear as well (foolish, I know, but there it is). Here you'll find a stylish range of clothes for women over 5ft 7in from casual to smart and everything in between, also swimwear, maternity wear and shoes and accessories. Everything is beautifully photographed, they'll ship Worldwide and offer an Express service to the UK.
This is the top end of the online clothing ranges offering a very high quality selection in sizes 14 - 30 including smart daywear, knitwear, casualwear and evening wear. Everything is beautifully made in Italy and smartly photographed to make you really want to buy as you would expect from Artigiano's sister company. Shoes, accessories and jewellery are from the main Artigiano ranges and footwear goes up to a size 9.
Modern and amazingly well priced using some natural fabrics and with sizing from 8 - 22 for most items. You'll find most of the wearable new looks each season plus some colourful knits, tops and accessories. Take a good look at the start of the season if you're likely to want something here as once a product has sold out they won't replace it, however they offer new styles online each week. Delivery is to the UK only and you can select from Express (next day) delivery or their standard service at a few days longer. This is excellent value high street shopping.
With an easier to wear selection than some of the high street retailers Principles offers a stylish, well priced collection of separates, dresses and coats on their attractively designed website. They clearly show some of the trends of the season and have picked out pieces that go well together for each look. You'll find dresses, skirts, tops, jeans, knitwear and some very attractive tailoring and occasionwear and a petite collection which goes from size 6 - 16.
Wallis offers a small selection from its stores on the website and just about everything goes up to a size 20, so styles on the whole are easier to wear for most people. They also, unlike some high street retailers, like to include natural fibers in items such as knitwear and t-shirts. They give clear information right from the start about each and every product, right down to washing information, fabric content and sizing as well as telling you about each season's looks and how to put them together.
Although you have to order from the US and no doubt pay duty you’ll be hard put to find a more comprehensive collection of very well priced, quality clothing including outerwear, fleece, shirts, trousers and snow sport clothing, luggage, outdoor gear, swimwear, footwear and accessories. They also offer larger and tall sizes. Have a browse. It's extremely hard to get away without buying something here.
Here you'll find boots at price levels from £50 to about £200 with calf measurements from 35cm to 46cm. You need to take a look at their measuring guide as they offer both their own boots and those made by other manufacturers. There are some modern and some very classic styles to choose from plus a small range of shoes.
Silhouettes are an excellent, US based fashion retailer who offer their collections in sizes 14 to 38 (UK equivalent 16/18 to 40/42). To make sure you order the correct size you need to use their size chart which gives everything in inches. You'll find smart separates, tailoring, dresses and outerwear. Because you'll be ordering from the US I suggest that you don't go for any of the very fitted styles.

A site with a really different, fun and quirky feel offering modern pure cotton knitwear in unusual styles and a good range of colours. There's a made to measure bespoke service offered plus a colour advisory service. Some of the pictures are at strange angles which makes it hard to see the products clearly (which is a shame) but everything is designed to be easy to wear and sizing goes from 8 to 24 so whatever your size or shape (or if you’re expecting) you may well find something.
