Calling ALL Plus Size Ladies...

BetchySprout

Let it out...

 

 

What size do you wear? 

 

I wear an 18 top, 20/22 bottoms. I am pissed at Old Navy for taking their plus line out of stores. I lost 100 lbs in college, got down to a 12, ON adds the plus size line to stores, then I gain about 80 back (over 7 years) and now its gone. Dammit.

I am wearing a pair of maternity jeans right now because they are the only ones that I don't look shiiityy in at  this point.

I wear an 18 bottoms and XL or XXL on top

However -- my problem is in most "regular" stores the clothes are snug yet in "plus size" stores or sections its too big...

so what is one to do?? which is why I hate shopping.

I'm in 14 pants because I have no hips or butt.

But I'm in anywhere from a 14-16 to an 18-20 in tops, depending on where it's from.

I'm an apple shape and my midsection is my biggest part. It SUCKS.

i'm a 24 in bottoms and an xxl or 22/24 in tops. i have gigantor monster boobs, so i have to wear huge tops.

alicatt79

I'm a 12 bottom and a large top. 

I have no waist anymore, and all my pants look like "Mom Jeans".  I also have love handles that won't quit and a cat belly.

18/20 from Lane Bryant.  2X tops at JCP.  I have the spare tire middle.  I hate it, but I have no motivation!

Did you see my post earlier about plus size websites?? I listed a few good ones.

Anyway, I am 16/18 on the bottom, and a 16/18 on top. My boobies are huge, and I find that I need a XXL from ON and 16 or 18 pants from Gap/ON. I just took my measurements tonight.

34" inseam

42" hips

40" waist

44" bust

I am definitely bigger on top than I am on the bottom and I am very fortunate for my height!

Mrs.McLovin

XL tops and 16 pants. I still look about 4-5 months preg. Ugh.

xl tops because of my massive 36I (as in igloo) bewbies.

16 pants.  I'm almost....aaaaallllllmoooosssstttt in my size 14s again.  I wore a pair out to the bars last weekend because they make my but look fab.  I had a little bit of muffin top so I wore a flowy top.  Problem solved.  I was pretty proud of myself because I left the spanx at home too!

This is me, as well, though I am a card-carrying member of the IBTC, if you catch my drift.

However, I found it! And the Alloy jeans are SUPER CUTE!

14, with some 12's, but not enough for me to actually think I'm a 12.  I wear an XL top, and I avoid tops with numeric sizes like the plague because I have boobs bigger than Pluto and trying on tops like that make me want to use my spanx to catapult myself off a building.

J+O

I really don't know what the crap I am anymore. ?I buy sun dresses way too much because I get so frustrated. ?I'm too big for the normal sizes and too small for plus. ?I'm stuck in limbo... Ugh!?

I am C&P'ing for you, PPC! Here is my OP:

I have a girlfriend that is a stylist in NYC. I have had the hardest time finding inexpensive, trendy clothing that I love. (read: I am sick of Old Navy and Gap!)  I am also 6' tall so it's extra difficult to find pants that look and feel right. She has been helping me along and I just wanted to share some cool websites with all of you.

www.alloy.com  (I just got the cutest pair of jeans for $30!!)

www.torrid.com

www.alight.com

www.missphit.com

www.bluefly.com (they have extended sizing)

Some of this stuff is a little "younger" than I am, but nonetheless, these are options that I never knew existed. 

I just thought I would pass it along!

YES YES YES.  Me too   I'm barely in regular sizes, but still to small for plus.

XL tops and 16 bottoms.  I have gigantic boobs though so sometimes an XXL top that ends up looking like a tent as it hangs from the gigantic boobs.

I'm right there with you sister! Except I can sometimes wear Larges b/c my boobs are huge.

It really depends on the brand, but it is usually around a 24. The jeans I have now are way big though. I would love to get back down to a size 12 or 14 like I was when I started college. It all went downhill there.
