old navy

Shannon,
Save your money Dots sells really cheap and sometimes guady clothes. Best bet Target, Gap, Kohl's, Marshall's and TJ Maxx. Huge fans of these retailers. I swear Kohl's gives away their clothes!! Good Luck with your retail therapy. Let me know if you want me to ever go shopping with you. I LOVE shopping:)

Target sizing is messed up... I wear a 20/22 and have to get a size 30 there... and now they have a "new" sizing system that is just as lame as Fashion Bug and retail Lane Bryant with their whole "fat girl" size 0, 1, 2, etc...

Can't get into Gap yet... Don't have a Kohl's near me... and Marshall's and TJ Maxx never have plus sizes in when I'm there...

With the "body" changes from Annabelle I don't really have much I can wear to work... and it is really depressing... only pants that fit are my preggo ones and it just messes with your head to where them when not pregnant and at pre preggo weight... what I really need is some pants that fit and don't hug my fat roll... When I was pregnant it stretched more and hangs more and lower... and can't and will no shell out 50 bucks for Spanks... can't do it... not when I don't plan on being this size forever...

I'm just frustrated with my stupid body and loose skin... lack of money for not having a paid mat leave... Lore is being a total pain in the ass, can't get Annabelle and my boobs for the life of me on the same routine... spent my 2 year surgerisity in the hospital having Annabelle in total pain because they wouldn't get my the right pain killers and I thought that at this point I would be at goal weight.. yes I got a baby... but it all just messes with your head... esp since I can't drop the stupid carbs & fat from my diet... so if I breastfeed for a year that means another year of not hitting goal weight... oh yeah haven't gotten to leave the house since Saturday because Lore won't listen and I have to time the trips between pumping/feeding... argh! I really can't wait to go back to work on Friday... ok vent off lol...

my personal experience is that they fit weird. I put a 14 on and they were loose and then ordered a 12 and they fit so odd and I bought a medium size top and they fit ****eyed my bra straps and part of my boobs showed I just think they are cut weird if you are going to go there try things on and I don't know if you know this but Gap is a "sister" to Old Navy so I would just have to go in person and try stuff on and get a feel for it.

I love Old Navy. I am a 20/22 in most stores and I wear the 2x plus size at old navy and the pants I wear a 22. You can return them to the store if you buy online and don't like the way they fit. I even fit most of the knit tops and such from the store in a XXL. Gap runst small. When I did fit I always went up a size.

If you're in Reading you might try the Vanity Fair outlets. They carry Lee jeans, which come in misses and women's sizes. I'm 5'4" and hovering around 150 and I'm wearing a size 10 in Lee jeans (petite, because I'm short). There are a whole bunch of other outlet stores up there, too. I think even the Hanes store carries pull on pants which might be good post-baby.

Good luck!

VF never has plus size... and lee's don't fit right... I have to go up 3 sizes to get things to fit... and cost as much as Lane Bryant...
