I see so many people ordering everything online these days, but personally, I just don't have the nerve for it. If I can't actually feel the fabric—not to mention check if the fit is right—I simply wouldn't dare. I used to shop with Neckermann occasionally, but really only because they were a local staple and offered free returns. I eventually realized their sizing ran much larger than our standard American sizes, so I ended up returning things quite frequently, which felt like such a waste of time. Honestly, I just don't trust international shipping or the return process; even with domestic brands, it feels like it takes forever, and I really don't have the patience for that.

I would love to hear some recommendations for spots in the city where one might find a decent piece of clothing in an XLL size... perhaps it would be a good idea to start a dedicated thread for online XXL clothing shopping as its own separate discussion...?

As for the Lady XXL boutique, there isn't much left in black... they have some cotton tees, maybe a few short-sleeved blazers, and mostly pants in the larger sizes, starting from a US 18 or 20 and up...

If anyone happens to be shopping at LadyXXL over in Chicago, or maybe if you're passing through somewhere like Indianapolis, I just heard that they're running a cash discount sale where you can save up to 40%. It might actually be worth making the trip if their specific styles happen to catch your eye. I guess you could say their selection is a little bit baggy and lacks a certain structure, but if that sort of fit works for you, then by all means, go ahead and take a stroll through the aisles...
