This is the wrong time of year to shop for warm clothes in England. Winter might be starting next week (weather-wise), but the shops have spring clothes. Bikinis and other summer wear should be on sale around the end of March (just as spring has officially started) if the time stuff goes on sale for Christmas, etc is anything to go by.
Larger sizes are stocked by Evans (a specialist outsize shop), but I at size 24 (22 US) buy my clothes at Bon Marche, who cater for all sizes up to 24. I think the clothes are good quality and very reasonably priced. Some of the stuff is very fashionable, but they also have the classic and everyday stuff, and everything's available in all sizes (although the bigger sizes sell out first). None of the "if you're over size 18, you're a frump and don't need anything with style so we don't stock it" attitude which is common with most of the major chains. Haven't been in Littlewoods (also reasonably priced) or Marks and Spencer lately, but they're both large chains which carry good quality clothing.
