Fashion for curvy girls

hollowtinker40 said:Maybe you grabbed a pair that’s a bit too loose, I mean, who knows? Personally, this one I have is super firm—like, I can move all over the place and nothing budges. I'm a size D/E.

Both were labeled as high impact.
They hold everything perfectly in place—until, of course, I actually need to move around.🤣

I actually managed to find one at a local Target that worked for me—though, naturally, they haven't stocked anything like it since...
I’ve heard nothing but glowing reviews for Shock Absorber, but I’ve yet to see them in a physical store where I could actually try them on—and frankly, I'm just not in the mood to gamble on sizing when they come at such a premium price point. Still, I told myself I’ll treat myself to a pair eventually. For reference, I'm an 85E or F.
There are a few different styles available over on ASOS.

If I’m allowed to post this here, I have a pair of jeans from the Mango Violet collection up for grabs. They still have the tags on them. My mom tried them on and they’re way too big for her, so I'm letting them go if anyone's interested (size 14, high-waisted denim).

dustycyclist72 said:Yeah, I suppose they don't—not exactly that solid, anyway. 😢

I haven't bothered looking at their athletic wear—usually, those standard cuts don't offer much more than a C cup anyway. So, what you're saying is—the actual sports bras actually provide better coverage?

That's too bad :/

I think selling stuff isn't allowed here. You should list them on Poshmark or something, like 🙂

Thanks for the heads-up. Hopefully the admin clears this thread soon since I'm done with it.

Just a quick little update on Kiku. I swung by yesterday, and man, those sports ones? They’re completely gone.
(I mean, that doesn't necessarily mean they aren't at some other Kiku location, but usually, their stock is pretty much the same across all the stores, no matter where you are in town).

I saw them on two separate occasions. It was also like this during the winter.

Look, I know they weren't really calling my name to begin with—I've actually stopped in there a few times lately—but I’ll still make a point to head to my local one just to check the shelves.

Not sure where to post this, but if anyone’s looking for a navy blue balloon top and a blue and white checkered shirt—size 20/22, brand new and never worn, Ulla Popken—maybe shoot me a DM? A friend of mine is selling them.

You could check out Anita bras (there's an "Anita" shop downtown)
They have something really similar to the Shock models. I was actually browsing their site just the other day.

Honestly, those Bonprix bras have been total lifesavers for me. Once I realized eKupi wasn't going to carry them anymore, I had to grab everything I could from their stock.
So, I actually just went ahead and ordered two more from the Austrian Bonprix site.
I’m getting them through this user, ruggedgardener37—I've used her service a few times now and she's been amazing, so I'd definitely recommend her to anyone. 👍
It’s just such a massive pain trying to find a decent bra that doesn't cost an absolute fortune.

coppertinker13, which bras are you getting? Got a link? Thanks.

I have a few different kinds, but honestly, these ones were the best for me https://www.bonprix.at/produkt/t-shi...94045816#image
They've got a high cotton content, and they hold everything in place—I'd go as far as saying they fit almost like sports bras, at least for my size. I usually float between a B and C cup, maybe a 40 depending on the cut, but I grabbed this one in a B because a C would probably be way too big. The band width seems pretty spot on for the size, though maybe a tiny bit tighter than other brands in that range. I don't know how larger cup sizes would work, but most items have reviews where you can pick your size and see how things fit others... you just gotta be able to read German, I guess. Just ordered some new ones, so if anyone's curious, I can compare them once they show up.😉

Hey there! Has anyone been to the H&M over at West Gate lately? Is it actually worth the trip, or is there anything decent in stock? Thanks for the help!

Yeah, I'm curious too.

they don't even have a plus size section, so honestly, it’s just the same old H&M vibe as everywhere else

I actually swung by the Westgate mall yesterday. They definitely still have the plus-size section; they just moved it right across from the registers. 🙂 It feels like the selection might be slightly better than when I checked a few months back. No major sales or anything, but it was worth the trip—I managed to snag a few things.

So, what’s the deal with finding plus-size pants lately?

So, did you guys notice? C&A started delivering here recently too, they even have their own dedicated .eu page now.
Also, might be worth swinging by NKD; they’ve got some plus-size stuff in stock. Usually, whatever they show online is available in the actual store—it's some Laura Torelli line, I think.

Ugh, yeah, last time I went I missed out completely—it felt like even their website search wasn't showing half the stuff they actually have in stock. So if they've restocked, that's awesome news! 👏🤔

Honestly, for a second there, I thought they were just clearing out remaining stock and closing shop because inventory seemed so low. But looking at it now, it feels like they actually had more than usual. Compared to what you find overseas, the selection is pretty thin, but I guess it's better than nothing
