Holiday clothes?

I'm having trouble finding holiday clothes for Goa

I'm in desperate need of some more as the ones i got last year, and for this summer don't really fit me anymore as ive put a bit of weight on

Its ok for men and young boys, they only need to find sports shorts, and tops, which they can get from sports shops. But women need a lot more.
I know im not going for 10 weeks yet, but i always like to buy things before.
Really, i should have started to buy in summer.

I'm having this problem. Can't find any decent three quater's!

Try surf shops. I'm just going to look for board shorts and training vests etc.

While google searching I did see a lot of year round summer clothes shops for women. Try this

I know it can be a pain when it comes to sizes though.

Hope this helps

Try looking on ebay.

There are a lot of places that sell new items. I have bought swimming costumes on there and they are M&S or Next.

Good luck

Try Next, loads of vest tops for only £2.50 and they seem to have a variety of sizes. At that price you can't really go wrong.

Thanks for the replies.

Mardon - A few weeks ago i saw a lot of decent three quarters for men in Debenhams, you could try there.

I have tried Ebay, i bought a couple of new Denim shorts, and some sandals for my son.

Salford - I will have a look at Next, i usually buy my bikini's from there anyway,as thats the only place in winter that i can find any decent ones.

Ive gone up to a size 16 from 14 :oops:

, and im useless with diets, so it looks like im going to stay that way :shock:

I actually bought a bikini from Asda a few weeks ago in a size 18, as im very big on the top, i only bought it for the purpose of using the top, as ive got loads of bottoms. But the top didnt even fit me.
I think i will stick to Next and Debenhams, at least with Bikini's there they go off Bra size, and not size 14,16 etc.

Hi yummymummy, I know you said you like to get things early ( so do I), but what I did early this year (it was my only option as I had nothing at all!!) is hang on til just after Xmas and the spring/summer catalogues (also on line) for Next comes out!! Also another catalogue/website I use is La Redoute it has got some great cheap bits in there.

Ditch the washing line - take them to Snow-white Laundry.

Just opposite the market at the road junction.
Excellent service - and cheap too. :wink:

Check out the "Hallmark" card shop there too.
Cards at a fraction of the price we pay back home. :idea:

PRIMARK!!!! thats the only place I would suggest! Its where i'll be going before my trip to Goa, I've heard stories of the red dust and dont really want to be spending too much money on clothes if they are to get ruined and also if the weathers going to be as hot as i think it is then you want to be able to have the clothes to change twice a day if not more! So that would be my recommendation, it is also really good for bigger sizes and styles.
