Plus size clothing, plus size problem!!!?

You should pay a visit at Torrid! It for women in their teen's to early thirties. They even carry plus size juniors clothing the kind that is found in department stores but plus size and also clothes with their store brand. They even sell cute shoes! The Avenue is more grandmotherly looking than Lane Bryant! Their clothes is for people ages 35+

There is a seller on Ebay that I bought a jacket from who has some cute things that you make like. However, they are located in China, and it takes some time for the delivery. If you decide to use Lily, make sure to ask her if she can make your outfit according to your personal measurements; she did this for me, because she has a factory.

Be sure to take all of your measurements, including the sleeve length if it has a sleeve, and give her the measurements of the sleeve opening; you can measure this on one of your best fitting outfits.

I think that you will be able to use one of her cocktail dresses for your upcoming festivities. You can use the ebay address below, or here is her user names: lily0808168

I suggest you visit www.curvychick.com - it's a very active plus size community where you can find a lot of plus size fashion resources. Besides many shopping links, you'll find many women who are your exact size and build who can tell you where to shop, what they've found that works, what to avoid, etc. If you set up a profile and post photos, you'll really get a lot of out of the site.

It's also the home of Bombshell Magazine, the new fashion and style magazine for plus size women that is coming out soon.

Check it out - you might find some new friends and a lot of great dressing ideas.

As far as wedding dresses, look on Ebay. They have lots of brand new(or used) wedding gowns that can be made any size and are actually not too expensive. For everyday clothes, I agree with checking out Torrid, also Old Navy online has womens plus sizes up to 30!!

EDIT:

If height is an issue for you too(as it is for me too) Old Navy is nice because they have short inseams as well. Here is a link to a pair of jeans that I love! They fit my body just right!

TORID! OMG. I have the same issue. Torid is at the mall or anything it has wide shoes and plus size clothing that little sticks can wear from other stores

Torrid. Agree with you about Lane Bryant. I think Torrid does too, lol because they're the exact opposite.

www.avenue.com

I am a plus size woman myself.

Avenue has hip & non granny like clothing up to size 30 I think.

I just read a news article on Yahoo! about a new store - www.ishopplussize.com

Have you tried a Big And Tall Store they are good about fashion....
