Are we catered for .....?

What would you like to see in the shops that you feel is not being stocked for you and your tastes .....................
For years I find looking for skirts a real chore

They are either pencil skirts or midi floaty things
All the skirts that I like which is A line and small check design, are all mini ! There are loads of them but nothing knee length.
Every shop - the same story, you would think 'one' store would be a bit more with it for our age group

Re: Are we catered for .....?

I don't have much problem with buying clothes. I have problem buying herbs & spices in decent quantities. Too many supermarkets only keep overpriced small jars. To buy good quantities means a trip to the Asian supermarket in a scruffy industrial estate (70mile round trip) or buying mail order and paying postage.

I hope you can get what you want eventually Patsy, ladies are a bit more choosy than us fellas, Phyllis would often go into town with the daughter, spend hours there and come home saying "They've nothing in the shops"
In the meantime I've just ordered a nice padded warm jacket from China at a terrific price of 22 euro's (was 80) I'm getting better at this online shopping, I got some lovely pullovers and shirts, and now that I've got me size right with them I find the whole experience good.

No good Gabi - long and floaty
Appreciate the link though - will be good for the future on other items I'm sure

that's a good deal Jem but be careful their sizes are much smaller than ours I recently bought an XL size jacket from China and when it came back it was two sizes too small they would except returns but it was £60 postage with tracking which they insist on......needless to say it went to a charity shop

Good advice - they do come up smaller
