WHY DON'T BIGGER PEOPLE GET CUTE CLOTHES?!?!
I need to vent.
I am down to one freaking pair of jeans that fit now because my others are wearing out in the seams. I have been trying to hold off buying new jeans since I am trying to lose weight. I went online to order some more and the bigger sizes have 1 option compared to 5 on smaller sizes. Why is this??
I am really down in the dumps right now about my size. I am tired of being big. I have accepted the fact that I will NEVER be "small". I feel like I have been trying really hard but I guess I am feeling discouraged. I'm just tired of being uncomfortable. :[

Torrid is so expensive! I mean, I know that bigger sizes require more fabric but not that much! LOL0 -
I loved Torrid, its just their prices were crazy! Fortunately I've found Old Navy offers a lot of things in bigger sizes so jeans are slightly more affordable... I hear your frustration though. its like if you want cute bigger clothes you ahve to pay an arm and a leg, otherwise you get stuck with dumpy clothes.0

If you have a Dots near you, they have super cute clothes for bigger girls. No funky crotch thing going on like Lane Bryant.0

if you like to wear dresses, www.holyclothing.com is the place to go. the majority of my wardrobe comes from them. they're super comfortable, pretty, and wash well. just don't put them in the dryer as they get a lot shorter!0

UMM HELLO!! FASHION BUG!!!
I started out as a size 28 W and I always have cute clothes
AND!! All their jeans are 15$ off right now. The Angels brand jeans are my favorite!0 -
Forever21 has a super cute plus size section! I was actually quite thrilled with it ... I have a hard time shopping for clothes because I tend to hover on the borderline of "regular" and plus sizes (regular is in quotations because I don't know what else to call it). Sometimes I can't find anything on either side and it gets frustrating...0

I love Old Navy, but I'm a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl.0

What about Cato or Maurices?0

I have felt your pain! At my biggest it seemed like nothing cute fit me, and if it did...it wasn't cute. I basically shopped at the Gap outlet because they had my size jeans and XXL shirts, and Target because they have a little plus size selection plus some XXL shirts. When I started losing more weight I rewarded myself with lots of more fashionable clothes from Torrid. Trust me, as you lose the weight it gets so much better. Stay focused and stay on track and you'll get there soon. Even if you don't become a "small" person, you'll have many options soon! Stick with it girl0

find anywhere that sells the MXM line of clothing... reitmans, penningtons, and addition-elle are three that used to carry it here... check online

i've gotten all sorts of cute stuff from them, at ridiculous clearance prices during boxing week and throughout the year.0 -
I forgot about Forever 21!! I used that store a bit during my weight loss because I could get jeans for $15. Excellent place to shopForever21 has a super cute plus size section!

I am sorry you feel frustrated. However, there are a lot of stores out there that cater to curvalicious women (Torrid, Dots, Lane Bryant, Old Navy). I don't think it is fair that stores cater to small people either, but I have to shop in certain stores, too. I am tall and got a booty like "what". Do you know how many jean companies assume people do not have a butt or hips???
Good luck on finding and buying some sexy clothes. You will need your confidence to give you strength to succeed in this weight loss journey.
GOOD LUCK!!!!0 -

I LIVE at Old Navy lol. Cheap and I find things that fit. They know me so well at Old Navy that they say I should apply for a job there lol.0 -
I hear ya! There are places to buy larger sizes but if you don't happen to live near one of them, good luck with ordering clothes online!!! I don't know how some people get by - oh no wait, I do know, they wear bad fitting plain boring stuff they had to settle for cuz they couldn't get to or afford decent clothes. Yes, I know there are places out there, but ordering stuff you can't try on is like playing russian roulette - about as much fun and with a lower success ratio. And usually an unfairly high price tag too.
I will add that I feel even worse for really tall gals, their selection is abysmal, with even fewer places to shop and higher price tags.0 -
This! It takes a bit more work for use bigger gals to stay fly, but it can be done.
Besides
Torrid there's's
Simply be
MonifaC
ASOS
Lane Bryant (obviously)
Faith21
Jessica London
IGIGI
Ashley Stewart
The Avenue
Silohuettes
Ulla Popken
to name just a few. I have always been the fashionable big gal so I spread my shopping around. I've never been stuck on a particular retailer or size. I also try to buy when I see items on sale so I'm not stuck needing something for a particular event.0 -
