Guest guest Posted May 27, 2001 Report Share Posted May 27, 2001 Stephane, Girl I SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO feel your pain!! I am also almost 28, and I wear a size 28-32 depending on the cut. Talk about hard to find. I know department stores are carrying more and more nice stuff for fat chicks but nothing over a 24. Sickening. Here is what I have found. Lane : Their clothes are more trendy but not always cut flatteringly for us big girls. However, they also have EXCELLENT sales. And very hip trendy clothing. Tip: Their pants run a bit small. They technically only go up to a 28 but most of their shirts fit me. They also have GREAT lengerie! Avenue: If you weed through the grandma stuff they also have some great trendy wear. These sizes go bigger and their clothes usually FIT better. You dont feel like as much of a sausage stuffed into the clothes. HOWEVER, they do tend to strech and sag in places if you don't have the big upper belly, or a generous cup size. I am only a C cup and a lot of thier tops are too big in the boob area. Those are really the only two places I shop. I will catalog shop some, but not much. If there isnt an Avenue in your neck of the woods try www.avenue.com I know you said you like to " feel " the fabric, I am the same way, but if you find you don't like the feel of something, send it back, I usually get two sizes too so I can try them both on and then I send the one that doesnt fit back. They are very good about it. Happy Hunting, and just remember, we are on this list so one day we wont have to find specific stores to shop at. Can you imagine going in to a Limited and buying whatever you want?

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2001 Report Share Posted May 28, 2001 I am 32 and have been dealing with the same delima for years. I love some stuff at the Avenue but I never seem to find the same sorts of things when I go back. They do have nice pants and I have been able to find the same style more than once in a season but the tops are always changing so drastically. This season everything seems to be short tops that are clingy. I dont look good like that. I have small boobs compaired to my hips and need something that evens things out. I loved the J.Jill catalog when I was in the size range. I look forward to shopping there again. I'm a 26-28 now but I am post op so I hope that I will be in a sixe 22 by fall when I plan on getting some work clothes. I know everyone tells you not to buy clothes post op because you cant wear them long. I just dont think I can resist.
