The Maxi Dress is still a very strong on going trend offering some great options for this summer and well into the autumn. Plus Size and Tall has already looked at online retailers offering plus size maxi dresses so today I am going to look at some retailers we have not yet mentioned.

Plus size maxi dresses M&Co

M&Co [site: www.mandco.com] has three stunning plus size maxi dresses on offer in sizes 18 to 28. My favourite is the Boho Daisy Maxi Dress at just £30.00, reduced from £45.00. The first thing that caught my eye was the colour, a lovely tie dye blackcurrant purple with pretty daisy print. The neckline is embellished and the contrasting horizontal bands around the hem really complete the detail of this 70’s style maxi dress. Team with a pair of wedge sandals for a perfect summer look which can be worn well into autumn.

Plus size maxi dresses from Urban Outfitters

Urban Outfitters [site: www.urbanoutfitters.co.uk] has a couple of very trendy plus size maxi dresses to choose from. I love this online exclusive: the O&O Orbit Maxi Dress which has been reduced from £48.00 to just £25.00. The colours of this dress are very vibrant and summery. The plunge neckline is very flattering and feminine. This dress is available up to a Large.

Plus size maxi dresses from Simply Be

Simply Be [site: www.simplybe.co.uk] has a cosmic selection of plus size maxi dresses but new in and a firm favourite of mine is the Pick Up Hem Printed Maxi Dress at £58.00. White and green butterflies are fluttering all over this pretty blue dress which makes the dress really come to life! The varying hem line is not only flattering but a hit on the catwalk this season so makes for a very trendy and sexy look!

Where to shop

If you have been inspired by these plus size maxi dresses then revisit the online stores at M&Co [site: www.mandco.com], Urban Outfitters [site: www.urbanoutfitters.co.uk], and Simply Be [site: www.simplybe.co.uk].

When I think of Control Underwear I always think of Bridgette Jones and her big knickers that she was so embarrassed of, but you would be surprised (well, I was) at the range of sexy and pretty Control Underwear out there.

Starting with Evans [site: www.evans.co.uk]; they have a fantastic selection of sexy Control Underwear that will make you look great in and out of your dress! The Black Waist Cincher is the perfect example. Designed to define your natural waist and smooth your tummy and hips. The knickers are in black with rose detailing up to the waist and further detailing over the hips.

The Black and red waist cincher also from Evans [site: www.evans.co.uk] is another great example of how stylish Control Underwear can be. These knickers are in black with a black and red mesh and lace front panel (also available in champagne). I love the lace detailing and little black bow at the waist.

Yours Clothing [site: www.yoursclothing.co.uk] also have a great selection of Control Underwear including some more feminine underwear. The Black Control Band is an excellent way to define your waist and midriff to create a lovely hourglass figure. This control band has lovely lace detailing.

The Ivory Floral Effect Control Short is another feminine piece of Control Underwear from Yours Clothing [site: www.yoursclothing.co.uk]. They are great for defining tummy and thigh areas. The lace detailing on the shorts is very pretty. Also available in black.

And finally in today’s selection… From M&Co [site: www.mandco.com] is the pretty Lace Control Brief which is designed to flatten and smooth the tummy area. These black knickers are very pretty in a smaller design than most with lace detailing.  Also available in white and pink.

Then look no further! Plus Size Tall takes a look at what is available in the online stores.

Plus size swimwear tankinis are very flattering for plus size women as they provide cover in all the right places whilst maintaining a stylish and trendy look for beach and pool.

Evans [site: www.evans.co.uk] has a great selection of modern and trendy styled tankinis in bright colours that can be mixed and matched. These tankinis have been designed specifically as plus size swimwear tankinis to provide a flattering look whilst ensuring comfort.  The Metallic Stripe Tankini Top will certainly brighten up the beach with the eye-catching horizontal stripes of purples, black and white with a metallic finish. The molded cups provide extra support.  The top is available with matching briefs (sold separately) but would also look great with the Black Drawstring Briefs.

M&Co [site: www.mandco.com] has a brilliant range of tankinis in many styles and colours. M&Co is definitely a place to visit if you are looking for plus size swimwear tankinis.  The Tribal Print Tankini is different from many other available tankinis with its removable straps and wooden buckle at the bust. The tribal print is very fashionable and the whole look is very eye-catching. This top would also look great with a sarong or similar for beach/pool to bar transition.  Available to buy separately is the Tribal Print Bikini Bottoms but the tankini top would also look great with a pair of plain brown bottoms such as the Great Value Low leg Shorts.

The plus size swimwear tankinis from Boden [site: www.bodden.co.uk] are so feminine I love them. The Hopscotch Tankini in a top with bottoms sold separately is available in four fantastic prints, 2 floral, and 2 circular. The top is a halterneck with a pretty wide tie under the bust.

Marks and Spencer [site: www.marksandspencer.com] have a staggering twenty-one plus size swimwear tankinis to choose from.  The Per Uno Stripe Tankini Top is very cute with pastel horizontal stripes and a bow at the bust. The Stripe Hispter Tankini Bottoms which match with the top are sold separately and are in the same print with a large bow at either side.

With the world cup coming up this summer why not show your support with the England Halterneck Tankini Top in a striking red with a St Georges flag and sparkling embellishment on one cup.

For our American readers, OneStopPlus [site: www.onestopplus.com] has a great range of plus size swimwear tankinis and skirtinis, sold as an ensemble and many with built in tummy control. I rather like the Hippy Go Lucky Tankini with tummy control. Browns are a fashionable colour this season and the blue floral print is very attractive.

To start you off in good stead for May, Plus Size Tall is providing a number of discount codes our readers can use to look after those extra pennies!

Today’s article will provide four discount codes, one from each of four different retailers.

Whatever you are looking for, I’m sure one of these discount codes will help you along.

The first code is from Tights Please (site: tightsplease.co.uk).

To gain your discoumt, enter TP5 at checkout.

This will take 5% off any orders that are placed exceeding £25 (excluding postage and packaging).

The great thing about this discount code? It has no expiry date!

The next code is from La Redoute UK (site: laredoute.co.uk).

In order to redeem this discount offer, you need to enter the code 3339 at checkout.

This is valid for customers placing their first order.

The discount gives you £10 off this order providing you are spending £20 or more.

With most people back now from their Easter breaks (hopefully not too many people were disrupted by the volcanic ash that stranded Britons!), the purse strings are probably a little tight.

These codes are the perfect way to still make sure your wardrobe is ready for summer.

There are plenty of websites that provide discount codes that can be found on Google, but unfortunately a lot of them are out of date and the website leaves them up even if they have expired.

The codes provided here are at this current moment in time valid – so don’t waste any time!

M&Co (site: mandco.com) have some great plus size clothing for our readers to choose from.

What’s even better is they are currently having a sale.

As an added bonus, when you spend over £40 you are also eligible for free delivery.

This longline cable cardigan featured is an excellent piece of plus size clothing that is perfect for looking great in casual wear.

Worn with a waist belt, as featured, accentuates curvy waists and does wonders for your figure line.

It is currently available in blue or grey – although my personal favourite is the blue.

The cardigan is priced at £26.

It is available in sizes Small to XXLarge.

This has also received great reviews from customers who have tried the product.

Another excellent piece of plus size clothing from M&Co (site: mandco.com) is this ladies rib collar coat.

This has been reduced quite a bit from £65 to just £35 – an absolute bargain to see out the next few months.

The reason why this is a good Spring coat is because it’s quite light – which means that you stay warm without wearing a big, “winter” coat.

This is available in UK sizes 10 to 20, although it is selling out quickly in the larger sizes.

The big collars and belted waist make this a very smart everyday alternative from your parka.

The M&Co sale has over 90 products in it, and if you find the time to trawl through the pages you will definitely find a good bargain.

I found one of those fantastic bargains within minutes – the stuff that dreams are made of – with this next piece.

This ladies beaded neck top is the perfect top for dinner dates and cinema outings.

Metallic detailing is still a very popular trend, and this top perfectly flatters figures with its comfortable length.

The best bit about this item?

It was £26…and is now only £6.

You can’t really pass up an opportunity like that!

It gets even better: numerous customers have written reviews about this top – all with 5 out of 5 recommendations.

They comment on how this is the best top for going out and partying – and that it fits perfectly.

Teamed with bold and bright jewelery and skinny jeans – this is a lovely outfit to wear on a night out.

M&Co (site: mandco.com) have some really good deals in their plus size clothing sale – and are well worth checking out.

Carrying on the array of articles that speak about January clothing sales, this article will look at the current sale for MandCo (site: mandco.com).

The clothing sale at MandCo not only covers ladies wear, but also the other departments the site has to offer – this includes babywear, mens wear, boys wear, home equipment etc.

The plus size clothing sale features clothes from sizes 18 to 28, and there are some great bargains, especially for casual clothes.

MandCo’s standard delivery is charged at £3.50 and normally takes between 3 and 5 working days.

To receive your package between 1 and 2 days, express delivery is £4.95.

First of my favourites from the MandCo (site: mandco.com) clothing sale is this MandCo plus beaded neck top.

This top has been reduced by 50% to just £14 now.

The subtle lace edging gives the top a feminine feel, and the flutter sleeves further compliment this look.

This is a good choice to smarten up a casual look, but it is still perhaps too casual for a night out/smart occasion.

This top will see you through to summer, and although the colour is dark, the beaded lace brightens it up, allowing you to wear it throughout the year.

The top is selling out quick, so if you like what you see grab it quick to avoid disappointment.

The sale also has hundreds of fleece casual basics that are perfect for keeping warm for the remainder of winter, or practical for active lifestyles.

My next favourite from the sale is this button boucle cardigan.

Cardigans are all the rage at the moment, especially the boyfriend style.

I like cardigans that have a unique, distinguishing feature to them, that don’t look generic, like every other cardigan.

This MandCo cardigan achieves just that, with the high collar and the one, large button detailing giving it a unique twist.

The two front pockets are large with subtle top detailing, adding to the simplicity of this piece.

This is now only £16, having been reduced from £32.

This item is selling out faster than the top above, which proves how popular it is with customers.

The MandCo (site: mandco.com) clothing sale has a vast number of items on sale, with a lot of the items receiving discounts of up to 50%.

It therefore becomes the perfect place to stock up on all your casual and comfortable wear.

Who said large clothes had to be boring? The following selection of stores selling large clothes are testament to the fact that large or plus size does definitely not mean a compromise on fashion.

The large clothes range from Evans has always been inspirational for plus size women with collections from some real Divas such as Chaka Khan and Beth Ditto.

The Black and White Pattern Blouse with dogtooth print will catch people’s eye as the black and grey print sways in front of your eyes! The top has pin tuck and ties at the neck and ¾ length sleeves. It will look great with black leggings or jeans.

Another impressive top is the Black Leopard Print T Shirt. The dramatic leopard print jumps out at you from the black t shirt. And of course animal prints and large prints are hot this season so you will look very up to the minute in them.

The Black Stud Batwing Top is further proof that large clothes do not have to be boring. This rock chic number would look great with leggings and studded wedge shoes. The top has studs lining either side of the jumper, a scoop neck, and ¾ length sleeves.

Dresses and Tunics look great with leggings or opaque tights and teemed with boots or heels at this time of year. A very impressive tunic from Evans is the Sequin Floral Tunic with floral print which is covered with sequins and a pretty satin black tie making this dress extra special for a night out.

Leggings have really evolved over the last ten years or so, becoming far more daring! Not to mention a wardrobe essential. The Gold Animal Foil Legging is a real wow; as acknowledged and highlighted in the Cosmopolitan magazine. These stricking leggings shine with gold and bronze animal print.

YoursClothing has an extraordinary range of large clothes that are definitely not boring! The Black Lace Bustier creates a really sexy look harnessing the curvier figure with lace and ribbon. This fantastic top is versatile as it would look great with trousers, jeans, or a skirt.

The Bandeau Paisley Print Dress available in pink and purple or black and purple is totally stunning. The Bandeau top creates a high waistband from where the handkerchief hem skirt falls.

The leggings from YoursClothing include some spectacular styles. The All over Black Sequins really add the WOW factor to an outfit.

Marks and Spencer is well known for their quality and over the years has increased their collections to provide up to the minute fashion for all ages and sizes. Their large clothes range includes some real sensations. The Circle Print Scoop Neck Top is very stylish and fashionable. The fabric is slightly gathered at the neck to create a flattering draped look.

The Open Neck Geometric Design Blouse has a real wow factor with fashionable geometric print creating a vibrant look.

Simply breathtaking from MandCo is the Satin Bow Dress in black with a sleeveless bodice and straight skirt falling above the knee. Also available in this seasons purple.

Another wow is the Black jeweled Shell Top with a satin look, short sleeves, and beaded detail at the scooped neck.

The Velvet Trim Tunic is stunning with country style purple paisley print and a frilly hem. The velvet trim at the neck and on the hem finishes the stylish look. This tunic would look great with jeans, leggings or tights and a pair of boots.
