I’ve decided against the black, so I picked up a deep purple from Ulla Yoursclothing instead. It’s actually a fantastic shop, but I think I might have messed up my sizing. I ordered this gorgeous black and gold blouse along with a lovely dress, but both turned out way too big. If anyone is interested, let me know... they are either a size 26 or 54. I thought I had the measurements down, but I actually wear a 52. Even my dress from Evans is much too large. I suppose if the fabric has any stretch to it, you really should order a smaller size, though I didn't realize that until everything finally arrived.

Ladies, I am losing my mind. I am looking for a basic black skirt, size 12, made of viscose or wool (or cotton)—I have searched everywhere from Aldi to Amazon... every single shop in the US. No one has it. eBay was a complete disappointment; I ordered a dress on March 19th that hasn't even arrived yet. Now I’ll probably have to deal with the headache of requesting a refund. If anyone knows where I can find a skirt made of natural materials in a larger size, maybe even with an elastic waistband, please let me know.
For those of you searching for plus sizes, I would suggest checking out Evans or Yours Clothing; also, I found a stunning ULLA POPKEN tunic on Amazon US at a much better price than what they offer here (where the prices are just outrageous). I managed to snag a one-day sale. It arrived via express shipping, and it's actually quite roomy.
I also had my eye on a jacket.
I ended up ordering a bodysuit from C&A in Europe as well. I'm still waiting on it. They have great sales right now, though.
As for ULLA POPKEN in Europe: they are charging $16.90 plus tax, which feels like way too much. Honestly, Amazon US is the way to go.

Hey, I’ve also got some completely new items for sale—sizes 48, 50, and 52. I have shirts, blouses, you name it... plus, I have this stunning deep red satin dress and jacket set. They've never been worn because I mismeasured myself; they were custom-made locally and were quite expensive, so I’d be willing to let the whole set go for $300. If anyone is looking for a gorgeous formal outfit, especially perfect for a New Year's Eve party, sizes 50-52, please reach out to me at 099 7677774. Thanks, bye, and Happy New Year to everyone.

Dear ladies of this forum, I’ve been lurking here for quite some time now, and I find myself facing one major hurdle: I am carrying a significant amount of extra weight. I’ve tried the various fad diets, but the pounds always seem to find their way back. I actually spent a year seeing Professor Bekavca-Bešlin previously, but I ended up doing absolutely nothing because our consultations left me feeling so intimidated. In the meantime, my husband fell ill, and I simply didn't have the mental capacity to focus on myself. Now that he has recovered, I suppose I am finally ready to think about it. I’ve read extensively about gastric bypass, and frankly, I don't know if I'm prepared for such a restrictive lifestyle, the surgeries, the pain, or the potential health complications—not to mention the idea of having an open "port" or needing skin removal surgery later on. It all truly terrifies me. Since I’m no fearless hero, I just can't seem to make a decision. Once you cross that line, there's no turning back. I saw photos of abdominal scarring on one patient, and it was deeply unsettling. Is there any way to overcome this fear? I would be so grateful if those of you who have gone through this could tell me: does life really mean eating mush forever? Does everyone suffer from post-op health issues? Where, how, and how many skin surgeries are typically required? And most importantly: HOW DO I OVERCOME THIS FEAR?
I have already scheduled an appointment with Dr. Mirošević, but I haven't taken any further steps. I spent a whole day crying, feeling overwhelmed by how much weight I've gained during various crises in my life, and wondering if I've let myself go too far. My biggest dread is that I will end up being a permanent invalid after the surgery. Constant checkups, endless blood work... and that port—will I just have a raw, open wound right under my breasts?
