Clothes....

though i said i wasnt shopping till i am done w/ surgery, i was just wondering peoples favorite plus size clothing stores? mine are Torrid and Lane Bryant... thanks!

Lane Bryant rocks but it's so damn expensive! The Avenue is good, too. You can find some good buys at Wal-Mart, if you can believe it!! I just had to go buy new clothes, one size smaller---from my 24/26s to 20/22!!!! Jessica

Not sure if they have Rich's/Macy's in your area but they always had really good sales on their plus size clothes. Also, JCPenny's junior department has some really CUTE plus size stuff! Kim

Well now, I should say that I like that Avenue becuase I currently hold a part time job there...lol I started working there about 4yrs ago, when I was a 30/32 and they were pretty much the only store that went up that high at the time plus I figured the employee discount would help since plus size clothes can be expensive. I've since become good friends with the manager so I haven't quit...(yet) lol. I now work 1 day a month if she needs me..lol I must say that they do have some nice clothes and some pretty good deals too. I love Lane Bryant for trendier styles, I hadn't been able to shop there for years.. I was so excited when I could start shopping there again. (they only go up to 26/28) But now that I've been losing weight, Walmart is my best friend! I figure, since their clothes are so inexpensive, if I "shrink" out of them, I haven't spent a fortune so it's not so bad. I haven't tried JC Penney or Macy's yet but now that I'm an 18/20 just about ready to go down to 14/16, I can pretty much shop anywhere. Vicky

Hello... I don't know if you have a Fashion Bug near you, but they have a lot of trendier styles for a really good price. It's hard to find "younger" looking plus size clothes near me because there are about a million senior developments out my back door. Wal-Mart here has a plus size section, but they cater to who lives around the store. Lane Bryant, Avenue, and sometimes clearance in Elisabeth (Liz Claiborne) are also good. I have to agree about Macy's too...good stuff! -Cheri
