> Hey , Don't know where you live, so there might not be one

near, but there is always the local renaissance faire where you can

achieve your fantasy. I worked the So. CAl. ren-faire for many years

and in fact own several hoops and gowns. I used to do a lot of

historical dance stuff, so I have n gear and an gear

and Regency stuff as well.

Okay, I am 5'2 " 188 and I wear a tight 14 jeans, but mostly 16's. Up top I can

wear anything from Med to Large and some XL's. This irks me to no end,

mainly because I can still wear some of my old large clothes. Why do they

have to make so many sizes different with different brands?

It was once explained to me that the more expensive a piece of

cloathing is, the larger the garment is for it's printed size.

So a size 6 dress that cost $400.00 is larger than a size 6 dress

that cost $49.95

And all this time I thought it was the opposite.

Fay,

Even after hernia repair and a pannus removal, I still have the same problem you

do--upper tummy sticks out further than my boobs. It is definitely a bummer and

a problem with clothes. Went shopping today and bought small pants and 2X top.

I started out in a tight 48DD bra and am now only down to a 46D after a 96 lbs

loss...go figure. Oh, and I'm only 5' tall to boot.

I was wearing a gorgeous size 16 dress yesterday trying to figure why 16's

are still a problem at 168 " . I have just gone through the before and after pics

on AMOS and I think the problem for me lies in the midriff. You know that

part between the waist and the boobs. My midriff sticks our further than my

tummy and boobs. This adds to my size problem.
