debralebel LANE BRYANT Jan 22, 2010 10:56 AM I have had lots of luck over the years shopping at Lane Bryant (over 20 years, omg)  One thing I can always find there are great bras. They have so many different fits and styles in every size imaginable.  Including sexy, lacy, bras and mathcing panties that actually have support!  I just purchased 4 bras for around $70. It was Buy 2 Get 2 free. They are well worth the price because they last a long time. I also looked for jeans while I was there. I usually like Seven brand but have been dissapointed in their selection this past year. Sometimes they get a little too trendy. I don't think acid washed or destroyed jeans are appropriate for a 37 year old and I didn't see anyone under 20 shopping there.  I'm also not crazy about their Venezia brand jeans. They either have too much lycra, make my but look funny, or look old after a couple of washes. I think this is due to using ramie in the fabric content. Ramie is good for sweaters but not jeans! I can always find a cute top or sweatshirt here. They have tons too choose from. Just purchased a dark blue, Seven brand , long sleeve hooded tissue shirt with a few black beads along the bottom. Can be worn casual or night out. I'm sure it will become my favorite. I'll check out Lane Bryant again in a couple of weeks. They are constantly getting new things in.
debralebel Alloy.com Jan 22, 2010 10:42 AM Alloy.com My most recent finds were from Alloy. My teenage daughter started getting this catalog after she ordered something from their sister company, Delia's. I was so excited when I found out alloy has Juniors style clothing in up to 3x! Not all of their clothes are available in plus but the quality makes up for the lack of quantity. I purchased 2 long cardigans (grey and black). They fit perfectly and are so soft. Great for fall or spring days or chilly offices. I also got a funky layered tank in grey with a silver metal mesh pocket. Super cute and long enough to cover my fat tummy (thanks to having 3 kids). The third item was a pair of Decree jeans. Too big in the waist and too much spandex for my taste. They bag out when they have too much spandex. They were the perfect length, though. Alloy has a huge selection of jeans- Truck, Decree, Vigoss. Most are available up to size 25 and all come in 3 different lengths. I'm 5'8 and have a hard time finding jeans long enough to wear with boots or heels. The 33" inseam was perfect. I will definetly shop at Alloy. com again. Wish they had a store in Fresno!  
debralebel Big Girls Shop Too! Jan 22, 2010 10:27 AM So glad I found this group! I'm constantly on the search for a great fitting pair of jeans, or great fitting anything! I'm excited to try some of your recommendations, although I've shopped at most of the places already.  I'm 37 years old and a size 20. I love fashion and don't think I should have to dress like a granny to find something that fits. The fashion industry is slow in catering to the needs of plus sized women. You'd think they'd be all over it, considering how much $$$ we spend on our clothes!  I think I'll spend my day off posting my opinion on my fashion finds instead of actually shopping today. It will probably be more satisfying.
POPSUGAR Fashion The OverBra Provides Ultimate Lift and Support Jan 21, 2010 9:00 AM The OverBra is the new shapewear idea that shapes your bust and accentuates your cleavage. Think of it as a vest for your bra — only it's not meant to be seen. It comes in four styles — original, midriff, longline, slip — and each does a slightly different task. The original, pictured below, is mainly to flatten back bulges and enhance cleavage. The midriff takes care of tummy creases, the longline is good for tummy and hip coverage, and the slip is perfect for under dresses. Since it's a brand-new concept, it's slightly confusing; check out the how to wear it section then see where to buy it . Intrigued or insane?
