I’m a size 18 with big boobs and Matalan’s £20 gingham midi dress is perfect for bustier women – it’s so comfy
SHOPPING for summer clothes can be a challenge at the best of times – but if you’re anything over a size 14, it can feel downright impossible.
Well if you feel like every shop you walk into only has super frumpy frocks in their plus-size section, then you might want to get down to your local Matalan ASAP.

Earlier this month, fashion blogger Lauren Dungey – who boasts almost 30,000 followers on Instagram – filmed a video of herself trying on three items from the shop’s gorgeous new collection.
She captioned the clip: “Popped into my local Matalan today to see what’s new in for Summer!”
First up, the mum – who fluctuates between a size 16 and 18 – chose a stunning floral midi skirt with a pretty drop hem and elasticated waist.
However, the black-and-white gingham midi dress she tried on next was what really stole her heart.

Along with the floaty tiered hem, the sleeveless dress also has trendy frill detail around the bust.
Not to mention the ruched bodice which is super comfy and accommodates all bust sizes.

Next, Lauren gave a stretchy silk-effect floral mini dress a go – but she couldn’t get the gingham frock out of her head.
In a follow-up post, the mum explained how she didn’t have to think twice about snapping up the £20 dress.
She wrote: “I still can’t get over how cute this @shopmatalan dress is.
“I 100% was not leaving it in store.
“Fuller bust friendly? Cute details? A perfect summer dress.”
“Love this dress,” one fan replied. “Ordered it because it looked great on you!”
