They have stores in some of the larger cities and on line. They atleast have decent looking clothing for all occassions http://www.lanebryant.com/index.jsp?sid=PS%3AYah%3Alane_bryant&mcid=PPC&utm_source=Yahoo&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Yahoo%2BPPC As for finding the right outfit, you seem to know what you like and what works for you. That means your a head of the game. other than that as a large person myself..avoid stripes going any direction and busy prints. Why is it when a woman who wears a size 4 jeans they are fine, but some how when its a size 14, or even a 24 designers seem to think that an obnoxious flower sewn on the back pocket is a good thing? Looks like a freaking bulls eye. Or when you go get a pair of shorts they fit at your waist but the crotch part is at your knees? So you have to pull them up further to fit and you look like your wearing 'old man pants'. An inch higher and you can cover your bra with it. The last thing on my designer complaint list....Bathing suits. Now I do not mind wearing a one piece. But why, for the love of Mike, do designers think putting a skirt on it will make me look better? I get in the pool to swim and exercise (not just lounge and lay about like a beached whale to be harpooned). I get in and I have this 'island' of fabric around me than makes me look 4 times as large...oh yes that really makes me feel attractive. Welcome to my world
