Elegant dresses, crisp cotton embroidered blouses and silhouette shaping shirts and trousers are available in a variety of styles.

Commenting on the launch of the new store, Niloufer Anverally – Managing Director, Cotton Collection stated, “Despite there being a greater acceptance in the fashion industry for the needs of plus size customers, there is still a huge void in the industry and many customers struggle to find trendy plus size clothing in the local market-place. Our new store caters specifically to men and women who are size 16 and above, and provides them with a fashionable and stylish range of attire. Catering to customers of all sizes is very important to us at Cotton Collection as we firmly believe that all of our customers should have access to fashionable clothing, regardless of their shape, build and size. We are proud to spearhead this initiative and we hope that this new store will aptly meet the fashion needs of our valued customers and provide them with a range of beautifully designed plus size clothing for all occasions. Through, Cotton Collection we want to give all individuals the opportunities, options, ideas and choices to experiment with and add value to their personality and individuality.”
