Any Plus Size girls here?? Where do you buy clothes??

I like Lane Bryant's bras, but their clothes seem too club-ish for me. THeir casual clothes don't really appeal to me either.

Need help!

TIA!

I do a lot of my shopping on line.

Jessica London has some nice stuff. And they also have petite sizes for people who are stout AND short... like MOI.

For retail I go to Kohl's and sometimes Macy's. Nordstrom's plus size shop is a nice choice also.

Mostly Lane Bryant when I actually do shop. I tend to stick to the traditional/simple stuff - slacks, jeans, sweaters and solid shirts. I've also gotten stuff from JCPenney, Target, and Old Navy.

For shirts, what about Macy's or Kohl's. I am not a plus size on top, just on the bottom Chat Icon

Usually Lane Bryant for casual. but I agree its too clubby for work, so I usually try Avenue for something 'business casual'.

There's also Catherines, which is the total opposite of Lane Bryant - very old ladyish. But I can find a nice pair of slacks there and a sweater for work.

I'm not plus size anymore (Chat Icon ), but I mainly went to Lane Bryant for more casual things and Nordstrom for work clothes.

I find a lot at Gap outlet and old navy. You would also be surprised what you find at Target. I can never find anything I like at Lane Bryant (although there is an outlet down here and I got a pair of Seven jeans for $50). Work stuff I stick to department stores, every once in a blue moon i can find something at dress barn (which i used to hate).

Re: Any Plus Size girls here?? Where do you buy clothes??

I get most of my stuff in GAP. I find the outlet prices great. For business suits, I found some in Avenue and Macys Women (which is great because I can get a regular sz 16/18 jacket and then a Womens 16W pants). Pain in the butt though. I personally find Lane Bryant very expensive.

I wouldn't consider NY & Co a plus size store. Yes, I fit into the pants there, but in tops, an XL runs small compared to an XL in lets say Ann Taylor or GAP.

I've found some good stuff at Avenue. I also get a lot of stuff online at WomanWithin.com (which used to be the Lane Bryant catalog site). Romans (online) sometimes has some nice clothes.

My big 3 are Lane Bryant (most of my stuff comes from there), Avenue and Old Navy. I also LOVE Torrid, which is in Sunrise Mall. Cute stuff with a bit more of a young feel.

Re: Any Plus Size girls here?? Where do you buy clothes??

Mostly Lane Bryant, Macy's, Bloomingdale's or occasionally Nordstroms or Talbot's woman. When I am looking for something really cheap JCPenney or Kohl's is good especially when there are sales. There is also this great store near me in Plainview called Alight which has a lot of trendier clothing. And I have also gotten things from land's end. I wish Ann Taylor would come out with a plus size store - it would do so well.

OldNavy.com has a plus sized section on their website, and sometimes has larger sizes in the Source Mall location

When I was plus size, I really loved Avenue. They had great stuff and their prices were always really great. They have sales all the time.
