Hi everyone!

We had a crisis at home today -- The 15 year old daughter is going off to her first day of HS, thoroughly demoralized because she couldn't find anything cute or that her father or I thought was appropriate and/or flattering.

She is 5'3" and size 18.

I want her to be confident at any size or body shape -- BUT . . .

Where can teenage girls get cute clothes, size 18? Most teen shops don't have size 18, or even XL -- when they do, it's a very SMALL size 18, kwim?

Thanks for your help!

We actually found a really nice place for cute teen clothes this weekend for plus size. I don't know if you have a Deb Department Store where you are located, but they also have an online store at http://www.debshops.com/home/index.jsp

They have junior plus clothing that my daughter just loves. We shopped there this weekend in Branson, Missouri and she was in heaven - finally clothes age appropriate and fashionable in a plus size!! Good luck!

I'm 19, 5 ft 3 and 18/20 and I wear jeans from lane bryant/ Old Navy and tops from Old Navy, Torrid, Target and Lane Bryant. I've been about the same size since 13, so I know these places have cute clothes for teens, however, the jeans at lane bryant, while super cute, are also kinda expensive, so i would hit them up during a sale. I really recomend torrid though!

I'm currently a size 18/XL and get ALL my clothes at either old navy, target, or TJMAXX/Ross. However, when I was in HS I LIVED for torrid. While slightly pricey, it was completely worth it because they had such variety of brands and styles. I got almost all of my school dance dresses there too. Also, www.alloy.com has some cute stuff as well. Best of luck!

In your whole life nobody has ever abused you more than you have abused yourself, and the limit of your self abuse is exactly the limit of abuse that you will tolerate from someone else.

My daughter probably has the same measurements :0)

She's 14 and in HS too. I buy my daughters clothes from either Torrid (www.torrid.com), Old Navy Online (www.oldnavy.com), Wet Seal (they have plus sizes online www.wetseal.com), and sometimes we just to New York & Co. and depending on what we are looking for LB. There's a lot of variety out there, just try it!
