I'll be needing new holiday clothes this year after losing almost 5 stone, hoping to get it up to 6 by August.
Just wondering where does everyone else buy their holiday clothes from? I'm going to look for primark mostly but also new look etc... any other amazing shops?

I'm a huge an of charity shops and have picked up some amazing bargains! Such as Laura Ashley, fat face, white stuff, next. The great thing is that you're going to find different things to what's in the shops at the moment. I've found people get rid of really good quality things! Imagine the item away from all the other clothes, think about it freshly laundered and think about the bargain price and the fact that you're helping a charity guilt free shopping! ;-)

I've found Asda and Tesco have some nice things in but there sizes seen to vary.

I do most if my holiday shopping at either M&S or John Lewis and Fenwicks (I should probably say most of my shopping in general really) however primark seem to do some nice tops with the built in bras which is handy.

Dorothy Perkins seem to have some nice things in however I'm looking for my holiday stuff at the moment and I can't find a pair of mid length denim shorts anywhere with a wide leg

Whilst I'm dieting I've been going to Charity shops to get a lot of new clothes as I've gone down from a 24 to a current 16 and it gets so expensive. Also gave all my too big clothes to the Cancer Research shop yesterday which felt great As the time approaches for my hols in August I'll probably wait till 2 weeks before as I'm hoping to drop one more size before I go then I'll get most of my stuff from Asda most likely as you get so much for your money there. The only thing I'll buy differently is the swimming cossies as I'll want something supportive in the boob/tum department so if anyone has any suggestions where to buy good ones from? I'm thinking M & S maybe.....

M&S do do done great swimming stuff, they currently have some of their swimwear in the sale (at least my local one does) so might be worth having a look to see if you can find a bargain

Got some gorgeous swimming cossies in Asda right now, around the £12 to £14 mark. Not sure whether to order them now incase they go out of stock or wait as I still have 7 weeks to go

For holiday clothes, I find that new look has one of the most extensive ranges.

I find that debenhams and M&S are the places most likely to have nice clothes in the upper size ranges (20+) so I tend to go there...I look forward to try some alternatives when I can walk into any shop and find something that fits!
