Is it just me or does it seem no matter what size you are in that they never have your size in the clothes you like??? Whenever i have been shopping for myself or with my mother it seems like they have every size BUT ours!! I thought being in a 22 i would have an easier time finding clothes cause they always had stuff in 22s when i was in 32s but now i find all kinds of 24s and 20s and 18s! My mom is in between a size 12 and 14 and she has the same problem. ITs just not fair.

Where are you shopping? I wear about the same size and I have lots of cute stuff from Old Navy, Torrid, Target, my mom's closet and garage sales.

all we really have in our area is walmart..and fashion bug but i see stuff i like but when i go to buy something they are alway out of my size! I find them in the next size up or down. Very rarley do i ever find something i like in my size.

i have the same problem. i never can find something i like in my size....... most of the time its in smaller sizes. and the stuff that is in my size looks like couch covers! i can't wait to be able to buy cute clothes again.

Have you tried shopping on-line for what you saw in the store?

Miss Chris

What i hate about clothes sizes is when they put the sizes together. 14/16, 18/20, 22/24. At my heavest I wore a 24.... once i started loosing it seemed like anything that i liked was in a double size and nothing fit right... everything was either a little to big or a little to snug... right now I am right between a 16 or an 18 depending on how things our made. very upsetting

i found a link (here actually) that had REALLY cute (hip and IN) plus sized clothes....... but everything is soooooo expensive. this one shirt i really liked was almost 40 bucks! that will be something i'll treat myself to when i hit 10% or so..... only 7 more pounds to go!

I do a lot of shopping online. And when I find something I love, I buy a couple of them in different colors.

When I was an overweight teenager, all the "fat lady" clothes were designed for older tastes. Or for "comfort" (meaning mumus, tent dresses, and big bright tropical prints). /shudder

No wonder I have no fashion sense, and I hide behind fairly plain clothing. I have six dresses that I wear to work, and just add a black cardigan sweater over the top during the colder season. I haven't worn pants in years. Finally, this past summer, I bought some shorts that didn't leave a permanent indentation around my middle.

I hate shopping for clothes. But as I lose the weight, it's one of the things I anticipate greatly. How's that for weird?

I'm lucky that a dear friend of mine lost weight last year so I'm enjoying all of her clothes that she can't wear...

Hey y'all...is there a clothes swap kind of thing on the boards anywhere? I think the mail list used to do that. I've got tons of size 22, 20 and 18 (16's coming soon!) nice church dresses and "teacher" clothes that I can't wear anymore. I've been giving them to my Gran's church's clothes closet, but you all are welcome to them.
