Dorothy Perkins has introduced a plus size range and it gets our vote.

The collection is a mix of both day and eveningwear - there's a great shimmering party dress, as well as classic white blouses, distressed jeans and knitwear. We're also fans of the longline sleeveless waistcoat, styled well with slouchy jeans and heels.

The black PU mini skirt will also serve as a strong day-to-night option, as party season approaches.

"Adding a considered, curve conscious collection through DP Curve means that Dorothy Perkins is a one stop shop for every woman on the British high street," said the brand's head of design, Mel Mercer. "The signature handwriting from our core collection can be seen in the product offer but we have used advanced design techniques throughout our fit process to design with a fuller silhouette in mind."

The collection launches in stores from 8 October. Sizes range from 18 to a 28.
