Plus Sized Gals

jcyahne

Where do you like to shop for clothes both casual and career?  I like Lane Bryant, but I'm tired of feeling limited to one store.

Old Navy, J Jill, Coldwater Creek and then sometimes I find some good cheap staple things on line at Silhouettes.com - the quality isn't always great, but it's cheap basics.  I actually find stuff at Target now and then too.

I usually don't have much luck at Lane Bryant and it's a little too spendy for me, except for their sales.  For quite a while, I've mostly shopped (when I have to -haha) at Macy's (again, during sales) and Fashion Bug.  I have a few pieces from Old Navy, also.

I'm really going to miss maternity pants b/c they have been the best fit ever, for me.  I have a larger waist, but really no hips or a$$.  I love being able to wear smaller pants that fit everywhere and a big stretchy waist. :-)

You go right ahead and confess it and I'll second you! :-)

Depends...I have varying amounts of luck at Old Navy, Target, JCPenney, Macy's, and Lane Bryant.

Ditto -- I don't have any luck with tops at Avenue because they all seem so damn boxy.  But if you also have large calves then Avenue is a great place for boots   Not sure on jeans/pants, haven't tried.

I find most of my stuff on sale at Macy's -- they have awesome sales! 

The plus size section at JCP in Bell Square is actually pretty decent.  NEVER pay full price for something at JCP, they always have a sale!

I also had luck with Macy's when I was shopping immediately post baby and needed non-maternity pants.  They had lots of different fits, especially on plus sized jeans.

I also found some cheap staples at Fred Meyer's, especially plus sized workout gear.

I mostly shop at Lane Bryant, but I get a lot of things from Old Navy & Macy's.  I've found a few cute things at Torrid as well (can't remember if they have stores in WA or not) though a lot of times they tend to be pretty trendy.

I'll just add to the list with the Gap, Kohl'sm and Avenue (West of Northgate, near the QFC and Greenwood).  The Macy's at Bellevue Square has a great selection vs. any of the other Macy's.  I've also found stuff at Land's End, particularly swimsuits.  They have good sales.
