Lord Street, Southport, Merseyside, UK. Closing Dwon sale for Taking Shape. 5,000 shops are predicted to fail in the next three years with 20,000 in financial trouble, plus-size fashion brand "Taking Shape" was thought to be bucking the trend by opening a store every three weeks. With the motto "Celebrate your Curves" it now boasts 18 UK stores since it launched last year, and with more than half of British women wearing a size 16 or over, the savvy brand is cashing-in by catering for those who are size 14 to 26.
