I have an Angel Tree gift to get ... size 22 clothes for a 12 year old. Ouch! I'm looking for not-old-lady stuff for her. I want her to feel trendy and pretty, which leaves out the two best known plus size stores. Any suggestions - it'll probably be mail order.

    You could try old navy, they are usually pretty good about having larger sizes. Torrid also has some stuff (don't know if you have those in your mall or not). Otherwise online is usually the best place, although I've seen some pretty cute things at Lane Bryant too. I know she's only 12, but at that size you only have but so many options.

    I would most def go with Kohl's or Torrid. You could also try Fashion Bug. That's where I get a lot of my clothes.

    Stores in the mall like Torrid, Giti, and Rainbow all have a plus section that's still very stylish and trendy!

    Try Evans online. It's a uk and Ireland shop. I'm 25 and would wear some of the clothes or simplybe.co.uk has lovely trendy clothes too. They deliver worldwide

    i actually work for catocorp...they own versona, cato, and it's fashion/it's fashion metro...it's fashion is probably a good bet because caters to preteens, teens and early 20 somethings who want the latest trendy styles...not trying to sound spammy....just sayin....they have fun clothes up to a womens size 28

    Im going with the rest of the group. You want something fashionable. They have some xxl t-shirts in the junior plus dept of Walmart. They have really cute ones.

    Fashion Bug, Torrid, and some department stores.

    Also, I'm not sure what size that is in tops, but Delia's goes up to a junior's 2XL. They have Delia's at some malls, but I think the extended sizes are only available online.
