Apart from my knickers, everything I'm wearing is second hand. Even my bra is one my daughter passed on to me as its too small for her
Most stuff comes from charity shops, odd items are passed one from friends. The stuff on these sites is lovely but too small!!! Fat people care about the planet too y'know!!!
The only new stuff, (apart from knickers & shoes,) I make from patchwork, the ultimate recycling hobby or knit. This goes for hubby's stuff too.

sainsbury's fair trade t shirts go up to a 26. i think!! i know they do a 22...
i know what you mean about them not catering for the larger persoinage though, i can often not find stuff in a size 18 so i have given up and do the same as you; keep to mostly second hand.
i am currently wearing next corduroy trousers (Scope)
a pink layer top (factory shop tiptree, will be passed to my sister if/whenn i get bored of it)
a vest top (Scope again)
my bras i have to buy new because you never find J cups in charity shops.
