Plus size shopping

[blondemoment123]

I have about $200 worth of clothes I need to return. I’m already feeling terrible about being the heaviest I’ve already been, but when I can’t find a single item that fits it really is a punch in the gut.

I’m a 2x in top and 14/16 on the bottom. All I wanted was a few work tops for Spring. I’ll happily take links and recs you have.

Macy's has a good plus size department

Torrid

Torrid is my go to. I'm an 18 bottom and 1x (14/16) top. I love their harper tops especially.

[verycontrary247]

I'm the same size, and recently signed up for stitch fix. I loved everything they sent me.

Aside from that, Torrid for tops. Universal Standard for jeans.

If you do stitch fix, make sure and find a $100 referral. You can always find one on Reddit. I only have a $25 referral right now.

I follow @onerealmomma on instagram for cute plus size outfit ideas at good prices (Target, Old Navy, Kohl’s, etc.).

ETA: I forgot to add I also joined stitch fix and kept everything in my box! I don’t have a good referral amount for you, though.

I mainly shop LOFT, J Crew Factory, and Stitch Fix.

I like Torrid for casual tops/sweaters and sometimes dresses. All my leggings are from there.

Lane Bryant has nice active wear, jeans, and work clothes. They can be very expensive but have a lot of sales and coupons.

Maurice’s for casual tops.

Old Navy for casual tops, jeans and dresses.

When we had a Macy’s and Bergners here I would find stuff there but they both left.

Kohl’s has some good stuff at times too

I love old navy. I can wear casual/casual dress at my office (nice tops and jeans) and wear a lot from there.

I'm 2x top and 18/20 bottom

I've found a few casual tops on Amazon that are comfy too I can link

Maurices is my go to.

[katfco]

I really like Chico's Off the Rack. www.chicosofftherack.com/store/category/tops/cat13869285/

[Poeticxpassion]

Torrid
Lane Bryant
Woman Within
Macy’s

I’ve purchased clothes from each place that I’ve liked.

[namasteak]

I really liked the plus size options at LOFT when I was a 14/16.

I recently discovered Maurices. One thing that impressed me with them is they have a lot of the exact same clothes in both women’s and plus sizes. I hate when plus size clothes are all frumpy and hideous patterns.

I just don’t understand why all of the clothes are so wide. It always seems like they make the clothes wider, not longer, so everything that isn’t a mumu is super boxy. I really just want a women’s XL long in most clothes. But that is so rare!

[bronxgirl]

I've had a lot of good luck recently at Norstrom Rack.

[pugz]

I love Stitch Fix.

I find a lot of things at TJMaxx/Marshalls

Maurices is another favorite.

[blondemoment123]

Thank you! I’ll be doing some browsing/shopping today!

[idahome]

I’ve found some dresses (casual, but can be made into business casual for work) and sweaters off Amazon’s (the Amazon Essentials line).

Walmart: cardigans and the occasional dress or layering piece.

Torrid: add me to the list of people living the Harper blouse and their blazers.

Lane Bryant: clearance dresses always do well for me and leggings.

Shoes is my bigger challenge (11W or 12) and I like DSW online (Journee line).

Avenue.com
Some tops, I can usually find dresses there. Granted some is skewed old lady-and I am old.

They sell the City Chic brand there, which I’ve had luck with for wedding guest dresses.

[thegan]

Loft and Maurice’s have been favorites lately. Kohls evri brand is good too. I really like their ankle pants.

[zarapipe]

For work my pants are all lane Bryant. My tops are almost all from stitch fix. Def get a $100 code for stitch fix.

Athleta! Great for casual, casual business, and athletic wear. I am a 16/18 or XL-XXL and wear a 1x.

Also Boden - I am a 16 or 18 if it’s fitted.

[keh2oblue]

Ditto the above recommendations. I also find a lot of basics like t-shirts, bathing suits, cardigans, etc at Lands End (but they do have a lot of hideous styles, too, so you have to dig a bit.

[samanthamkm]

I find stuff at JCP's. I like their Liz claiborne line.

[blondemoment123]

I ordered a bunch of tops from Maurices. Hopefully some will work out.

Apparently I signed up for Stitch Fix awhile back but never finished the process. So I finished that and my first order should be here Thursday.

I had to get DS some shorts at ON and did find one top that I like. I walked over to Marshals and got a few tops and a pair of jeans. I’ll try them on tomorrow and see what works out.

Thanks for all the suggestions!

You all got me on the Harper blouse from torrid, I have a bunch of different colors and patterns arriving this week 😂

I like that pullover/popover style, though, along with lots of flow, so I’m guessing these will be total winners.

Just a warning, I have a very short torso and if you also do you may need a safety pin if you don't want insane cleavage.
