I like Avenue and NY&Co. I really like Old Navy. Looking forward to having more options though.

Does NY & Co now carry plus sizes?

My main stores are Lane Bryant, Avenue, Maurices, and Target

Yes, the NY&C stores I go to have plus sizes. I thinking all of them carry plus sizes now. I sure hope so.

I am in a size 10 now (yay!) so now I love the juniors department at Macy's (not because the Starbuck's is right next to it either).

I could be wrong - BUT - I think the "plus sizes" at NY & CO aren't really plus sizes. For example, I think their 16 is cut differently than a 16W, and as a result, is a little smaller than the 16 you'd get at Lane Bryant or other clothing stores that sell "woman's" sizes.

My favorites are NY & Co, Macy's, Torrid, and Target (for workout clothes).

My favorite stores to shop at are:

JC Penny, Kohls, Target, The Limited(when they have a sale) NY& Company, occasionaly Macy's. But I'll check out any store that is having a great sale.

i love NY and CO, but I have a large chest...which makes it hard to wear many of their tops. I can do some of them...but not most.

I wear a size 14 in NY and Co, but yes... their clothes are cut different. It's not like something you'd get at LB.

I like Macy's, but again...I have a problem with the tops in most of their things. I'm in that weird size...can't really shop at Lane Bryant...but can't really shop anywhere else. haha

Buffalo Exchange! In Minneapolis we had another hip thrift store chain called Everyday People that I liked. They had really cool clothes in good condition and they weren't very expensive. Once in awhile some huge designer name brand would come through, like Diane von Furstenberg or Marc Jacobs and you could usually get it (if you liked it!) for under $40.

Otherwise Target. Clearance racks. Sometimes regular floor if I'm feeling RICH.

When I was in a size 12 I loved the cut of the clothes at NY & CO. Soon I'll be there again. Sitting at a 16 right now and mostly shopping at TJ Maxx or Target because that's what I can afford. Still wish we had a CATO up here.

Since I work in retail, I would have to say that my favorite store is the one that I work at: Elder-Beerman. It has 7 or 8 sister stores that you might know: Herbergers, Bon-Ton, Carson Prie Scott, Yonkers, and some others that I cant think of right at the moment.

I am the department manager of the plus sizes too, so I see all the new clothes coming in off the truck. (Not good for my budget ~ since I am a clothes horse)

I don't really shop anywhere else, we have a good selection and with my discount I don't really need to go other places.
