4'11" - can't find clothes anywhere.....help

flutatious1

Hi.
I'm a new mommy finally ready to loose the weight for good. I'm 4'11" and weigh 179. My biggest problem is that NOTHING fits me. I try on a large or XL or even an XXL and it's too long, huge everywhere, but is too tight around my belly - the biggest part of me right now. This has always been a problem for me, even before the baby. It seems to be worse since the c-section. I have not one thing in my closet that fits me correctly and after 2 days of shopping and finding nothing that I can make work, I'm about to just sit and cry. Where do short, overweight girls buy clothes that actually fit???? everything is so damn stretchy, tight, or 'slim fit'. I can't even find work out clothes!!!!!!!
HELP!!!!!!
thanks :-)

I only buy my jeans from Rue 21 I get them specifically in short. As for everything else I'm not sure what to tell you. I can't buy sports bras to fit me:frown:

Have you considered a dressmaker, or learning to sew?

I actually do own an sewing machine and the thought of making my own crossed my mind..... Actually having time to do that is another story.....

Two options I can think of .. 1. kids dept and 2. Asian stores. Where I live there are
complete stores devoted to the Asian community but they are smallish so would
that not work? The stuff in the windows are usually cute.
