I need help finding clothes that fit me. (Plus-sized fashion tips)?

March 9, 2010 · Posted in Plus Size FAQs · 12 Comments 

I'm 17 and over weight. Before, I never really cared about clothes. I cared about how I looked, but never the clothes themselves. I usually just wore baggy pants, and over sized Tshirts. But in the past year or so, I've been paying attention to how my body actually looks in clothes. Buying things that make me look thinner. Though, my style has improved....the clothes are basically all the same, just different colors. I want to have some variety in my wardrobe now that I am moving out and into the dorms at the college. So Tips would be great. A little about mysefl:

~I'm 5 foot 7 inches.
~a little over 200lbs
~My legs are a bit slim, compaired to my torso.
~Larger than average breast size...

Jeans are my big problem. Usually, I find jeans that fit well on my legs and thighs, but they are usually way to small in my hips and waist. When I get pants that fit well in my hips and waist, they are extreamly baggy and long in the leg.
TIPS ARE LOVED!

I shop at Lane byrant and Torrid occasionally. But they are so expensive for me. I can't afford to pay for a pair of jeans. So I was hoping for cheap alternatives?

Trouble is, I don't think she's plus size at all. Not skinny, but normal.
What do you think about her body?

I need to help my mother keep her business!?

My mother and I started a plus size womens clothing store in a small to medium sized town in Kansas. Its on Main st where lots of other retail businesses are. And tho we cater the clothes to plus size women we carry name brand purses, nice jewelry and scarfs and hats and gloves. And we carry sandals in the summer! lots of things other than plus size clothes. we thought it was a great idea because the only place in our town where you can buy plus size is walmart! Our prices are moderate, we dont even mark things up to there retail value! The first year was ok(it kept the bills paid) the second not so hot! and now we are dreading starting the third year! Please help this is my mothers life long dream! i dont want it to fail! We spend around 25% of our monthly income on adverising..we advertise with three newspapers...two radio stations and send out newsletters! and its still not bringing in the customers!Our target age group is 18-60 we carry every thing for every women thats why my mother and i started the business together...im 20 and shes 42 so we get a wide range of style difference from out age! And i dont think our clothes are frumpy i think we sell very nice things and we are small town so we wouldnt sell a thing that we wouldnt wear ourselves or that is damaged! Our customers that do come in are always saying what a great store we have and we have so many cute things but yet they dont buy!
