Where do you shop for clothes?

I live in a rural community so we do not have a Catherine's or Lane Bryant so I do most of my shopping online. What are your go to stores or websites for clothes buying. I know not fun at my weight but I am trying to change my attitude about myself and my self image starting now and not waiting for the weight to fall off. That will come with time and effort but I want my life to be full now so I am endeavoring to step outside the limitations I have imposed upon myself. So, where do you shop, what styles make you feel good about yourself?

i go to WomanWithin or Roamans when shopping online. All the shirts I have ever gotten from there have been great. I find they are comfortable, long enough if you go tunic length. They wear well. Mostly I have gotten t-shirts like stuff, cuz that is what I wear at work and it is easy to find the colors I need for dress code. Pants are tough, just because they are pants I guess. I have not found the perfect pants online yet.
Some stuff borders on the strange "fat clothes" kind of thing if you get my drift but if you are a little bo-ho stuff can work great. Live it up!0 -
I order online through "onestopplus" (I think that's what it's called). It covers a bunch of different shops and most of what I order through them comes from Woman Within and Just My Size. I tend to buy shapeless messes, but they have a lot of more tailored items.0

Avenue is where I get most of my work clothes, Lane Bryant, Target, and Walmart are where I get most of my casual clothes! And they all offer online shopping.0

A little bit more expensive…. but worth it to me. Very good especially if you need super-plus size. Or if you have a figure that's tricky to fit. (For instance, I'm so apple shaped, that the typical places like Woman Within won't fit me.) Good length on all the shirts… you don't have to get the tunics to get a good length. They also offer tall and petite sizes in pants.0 -
I'm trying to update my look right now too. Feeling good in my skin as I drop the weight. I like eShakti.com. They have shirts, skirts, and dress up to size 36. They also will make dresses and shirts to your measurements for a small extra charge. Well worth the money if you ask me.0

I do most of my shopping at Lane Bryant. I'm lucky to have two stores not too far away. I also order from them online though to save energy sometimes. I miss Fashion Bug, especially for their shoes. We also have an Avenue and Catherine's locally but I've never been to either.0

I miss Fashion Bug - that was my go-to store!0

Hi there, I FIRMLY BELIEVE that your clothes should express your personality and style, not just cover your body!!!!
Here is my list of plus size retailers who do online shopping. Maybe you can find some inspiration for your personal style, and some good finds
MY FAVES: "AdditionElle" and "Penningtons" are two great plus-size clothing stores that sell online. Also, "Torrid" has cool stuff. Also, for lingerie, you can try "Hips & Curves" (warning: adults only) That one will definitely bump up your self esteem!!

Wow! You have a lot of sites I had never heard of before, thank you for sharing.0
-
I really used to like shopping at Cato because they were really affordable for the quality. I do regular everyday shopping at Lane Bryant. I like Torrid for when I want to try something out of the box...and one day I will have enough gumption (and money) to order something from kiyonna - I hope anyway.0
-
Lane Bryant, Torrid and Maurices are where I shop most often and I get most of my workout clothes (shorts and capris) from Target.0
-
You ladies are so helpful! I never have heard of some of these stores. Definitely will be checking them out. Thanks!0
-
The best remains eshatki.com
Lots of customization and super cute clothes. They make to 5X-6X and if you want to add something like sleeves to a sleeveless dress you can. Modcloth for the plus-sized.0 -
Love this thread, thanks!0

I am thinking about trying gwynnie bee you can rent clothes and they go up to size 340

I typically shop a lot at avenue, and catherines, but I recently tried Yours Clothing from the UK and it was a great experience. I was skeptical as I am on the top end of the plus size range but it was a great experience0
-
JC Penney! They have a great selection and even better prices.0

Thanks Legion150. I will be checking out some of those sites that you listed0

The last city I lived in had a Plus Size women's clothing swap on facebook and I miss it! I could sell and buy from people used and it was great. I need to find a winter coat now and likely a 4X so I am probably going to have to go online. I looked at sears and oldnavy but haven't ordered yet. I should before they are all gone!0
