Shopping for clothes online has always involved a bit of magical thinking. You squint at a dress on a size-8 model shot from a forgiving angle, click "add to basket," and silently negotiate a truce with reality. The result sometimes surprises you - in both directions. Lovedrobe, a UK-based plus-size fashion brand, claims it’s designed "to make you feel good." That’s not a lofty ambition, but neither is it a guarantee. Still, for shoppers in sizes 8 to 26 looking for reasonably stylish, reasonably affordable clothes without falling into the abyss of fast fashion's worst habits, Lovedrobe is, at the very least, a tolerable option. Occasionally, it's even kind of good.
First, the good news. Lovedrobe’s catalogue has grown up a little. Gone are the dizzying prints and party-polished plastics of mid-2010s high-street horror shows. Many of its recent drop-ins lean into flowing shapes, muted colours and fabrics that don’t scream. A few quietly attempt grown-up tailoring. It's not high fashion, obviously, but no one's pretending it is. Most items hover in the £35–£70 range - closer to mid-tier high street than ultra-budget - and honestly, that's fine.
A pink belted wrap dress manages to walk the increasingly fine line between romantic and office-safe. There are work-appropriate blouses with just enough detail to look like you’ve tried. And elastic is used sparingly - mercifully - rather than as a design solution to every fit challenge. What's notable is what's not on offer: trends that melt on impact, silhouettes that trip over themselves trying to "flatter." Instead, the vibe is thoughtful, if a little cautious.
New customers can get 10% off with the code FIRST10 at checkout - a small but welcome nod to the transactional nature of retail intimacy. If you’re not shopping on impulse, it’s worth signing up for Lovedrobe’s email list, which does spit out occasional discount codes and early-view access to sales. The site also offers free delivery on UK orders over £100, which isn’t hard to hit if you’re buying more than a single midi dress.
For the deal-hungry: while Lovedrobe rarely slashes prices just for the thrill of it, there’s a respectable (if understated) sale section where you’ll find pieces knocked down to under £30. These are the grab-it-and-go buys - fine for a quick summer holiday wardrobe refresh or an emergency outfit for that wedding invite you forgot to RSVP to.
Sizing runs from 8 to 26, and while Lovedrobe positions itself within the plus-size fashion market, it doesn't lean too hard into the language of body positivity as branding shorthand. Which is... actually refreshing. There’s a real size guide to check measurements, and most items seem engineered with actual bodies in mind. That said, double-check product descriptions - some of the fits are generous, others less so. User reviews, when present, are a better help than the impressive-but-vague model images.
Lovedrobe won’t change your life, and it likely won’t change the fashion industry, either. What it might do is offer a few decent go-tos: a wrap top that behaves itself in the wash, a jumpsuit that improbably fits in all the right places, a pair of trousers that isn’t just "trousers, but hopeful." And that’s something.
You’re not going to get couture, and you shouldn’t expect to. But if your goal is to look put-together without pouring cash into trend-churn or shipping times that feel geological, Lovedrobe makes a low-drama argument for its place in your wardrobe. Which, in a chaotic shopping landscape, might be the most quietly persuasive pitch of all.
Just don't expect fireworks. Expect clothes that fit, mostly. And that's probably enough.
