I'm size 16 & my Matalan haul left me with mixed opinions – but fashion fans are obsessed with a £27 co-ord I picked up | The Sun

A MIDSIZE fashion fan shared her Matalan clothing haul online – but was left with mixed opinions.

Leah Jane, who is a size 16, ordered a selection of spring/summer clothes from the her local Matalan store in preparation for the warmer weather.


First up, she slips into a 'red frill sleeveless top' which retails at £12.50 and coordinating £15 'red floral midi skirt.'

The sleeveless blouse is trimmed with flouncy frills and a high neckline for a demure finishing touch, while the timeless, floaty midi skirt features a red base-colour, making it easy to tie into your transitional wardrobe.

However, much to the shock of social media users, she isn't totally convinced and opts to return it.

Next, Leah tries on the 'blue tropical linen blend mini skirt' and matching 'blue palm print square neck top,' both £15.
