So, any advice on where to go to find cute clothes for plus sizes? I only really shop in the woman's section of JCPenny and have bought a couple of things from Torrid.com. I loved the summer dress I'd gotten for my trip to Portugal and got a couple of cute tops as well. Though the jeans I'd ordered hadn't fit me very well. Just ordered a winter coat from there and hoping it will come in time for Thanksgiving. :P Oh, and I also have the hardest time finding shoes in stores that fit me, since I'm generally a 10 - 10 1/2 wide.

I'm not a huge fan of buying clothes online cause of the hassle of returns, but I feel like I don't have many other options nearby. None that I know of, at least.

    Lane Bryant, Target has a plus size section, and also Maurices if there is one by you. Good luck!

    Zappos.com has free return shipping on everything! I buy shoes there because I'm a size 5 but I know they have a big range of sizes in shoes and clothes!

    CJ Banks, Macy's has a plus size section, Burlington Coat Factory (at least in Maine) has a plus size section, Dress Barn, and Sears. Of those my favorites are Dress Barn and Macy's. I wear a size 10 shoe as well and my favorite dress shoes are easy spirit and naturalizers. I also live near outlets so these aren't hard to find at a reasonable price, but you can also find them online which I agree is a pain because of returns.

    Avenue if you have one nearby. Dressbarn too despite it's unfortunate name.

    Everyone has really good ideas - Fashion Bug, Burlington Coat Factory, Sears, and Dress Barn are probably the most reasonably priced. Lane Bryant and Macy's have excellent clothing but will cost you more.

    And whoever said Naturalizer for shoes is right on the money!! I think those are the most comfortable.

    The Limited has a new plus-size collection called "eloquii." I haven't seen it in the stores, but you can order it online. The clothes are really cute, but, like The Limited's regular clothing, it's pricey.

    Old Navy is great online, and has a pretty good return policy. They go up to a size 20 in the store, but they have a whole Plus section online. I use them often when I know I will need something. Oh, and their sales are normally pretty good.

    Lane Bryant is good, but I recommend waiting for sales, because they can be pricey. But check out their new shoe section, they should be able to accomodate you pretty well.
