SpicedApple Nov 2013 11:49am, 22 Nov 2013 7,397 posts	0 SpicedApple Thank you all! Very helpful indeed. I've looked at your photos, More of a Tortoise - if that's you in a size 20, then my sister definitely isn't there yet and would need at least a 24. I think clothes sizes tend to vary - I gave her a top in a 22 which is way too tight for her still. (The reason I've asked for shops selling sizes 20/22+ was that I assumed they would have larger sizes than that, too, and she's hoping to get down to 20-ish at some point.) Santa, Primark only go up to 20 in regular (non-sports) clothes. Bit in a rush now, but I shall look at all your links later today - thanks a lot!
SpicedApple Nov 2013 3:52pm, 22 Nov 2013 7,398 posts	0 SpicedApple Thanks again for all your replies and links! Looks like Sweatshop and Sportsshoes.com only go up to women's XXL (which is definitely too small as it seems to be equivalent to 18, whereas I'm now looking for something around size 24). I'll go and check out Sports Direct next week. If anyone else has any suggestions, they'll be gratefully received.

Matalan has a plus size range and sometimes have capris etc that look like they're meant for exercise (as opposed to hoodies & joggy bottoms). Failing that the likes of Ambrose Wilson and simplybe for size 20+.
