Fashion for curvy girls

Zachary Smith44 said:So, what’s the deal with finding plus-size pants lately?

Personally, I can never get anything to fit right because the thighs are always too tight. Unless I'm wearing something way more oversized than what I actually need to stay proportional, it’s a struggle. A few years back, I found a pair of jeans that were perfect—super comfortable and durable. This time, I finally managed to track down some decent denim after two years of searching. Honestly, if you're under a US size 22, you can find plenty of options. My issue is that I hit that size 22 mark, and once you go above that, the selection vanishes. If they actually fit the thighs, the waist area usually ends up being a realistic size.

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.

Have you checked Next or ASOS?
Boohoo?
Maybe something like Kik?

So, I finally pulled the trigger and ordered some pants from Yours Clothing the other day... we'll see how they turn out, specifically regarding the fit and—more importantly—the actual sizing. Honestly, I was pretty heated when I ordered a shirt there recently; I followed their size chart to a T, but when it showed up, instead of being a 50, it was more like a 44 in real life. Total nightmare.

Look, with Yours, there isn't any of that shady business regarding sizing. In my opinion, it’s easily the best site in the US for women who aren't exactly walking skeletons—plus, they actually include customer reviews right next to the items. It’s a very reliable site.

For those of you who’ve ordered from Yours before, what’s the shipping like?

Also, how does the sizing work—would a UK 26 be our 54?

Shipping to America is officially listed at 8 pounds, but...😁 there’s this little trick where you can basically cut it in half to about 4 pounds—you just have to play it smart. Once everything is processed, you go straight to PayPal and select delivery to your PayPal account instead of using the email address you used to log in.😁 I do this every single time and the items arrive without any issues whatsoever.😁

That’s pretty much the gist of it, provided you take precautions—just make sure you double-check your measurements first. If they look right, they look right. Don't go grabbing higher numbers unless a user specifically mentions that it's actually working with smaller ones.

Nice, thanks for the tip.

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.

So, I went ahead and ordered these pants a size too big. Like, way bigger than what I actually wear. We'll see how it goes, I guess. It’s always pretty easy enough to take them in, but trying to make stuff bigger? That’s a whole different headache. Anyway, since it's my first time ordering from here, I'll just have to wait and see how the quality and sizing actually shake out before I know for next time.

I decided to see what it would cost to order from Macy's here in the States, and I was floored when the total popped up. For one single shirt, I’d be paying an extra 60% just to cover shipping.
Absolutely ridiculous.

Well, that's just how it goes.😁 Personally, I get all my coats and jackets exclusively from Torrid. It’s not that I can’t find clothes elsewhere, it’s just that their stuff is incredible—they actually have these pop-art collections with licenses for things like Sony and other brands. We're talking Outlander, Doctor Who, Once Upon a Time, Star Wars... you name it. They seriously know how to make cool gear.😁 My closet is packed with them; sometimes I spend an hour just staring at them trying to decide which one to wear. 🤣😍

I love Yours, they have great pieces, but their outerwear? Honestly, it’s all so bland and basic.

Shipping from Torrid can be pricey—say, $50 or $60 if you're buying a bunch—but there are a few times a year when those fees get cut in half during sales or short promo windows and coupon runs, so it ends up being worth it. At least until you hit Platinum status, then the shipping stays pretty much constant. (By the way, Hot Topic is owned by the same company).

Anyway, I'm off to go admire my jacket collection for a bit.😍 Torrid😍

For yours...

I can't figure out if it comes by mail or via delivery...

Check this lady out,
if you happen to be hunting for a solid tracksuit—give her a shout... she’s got all the sizes and it's all locally made right here in the States.

How long does it usually take for Yours to arrive? I guess it depends—maybe?

They say write three to five days. It lasted three weeks for me. I don't know...

I tried to pick something up for my mom, went onto PayPal, but it's still showing $8 for shipping... does your little workaround actually still work?
Thanks!

Hey ladies—looking for a long formal dress, cinched waist, A-line style, size 16. Any good shops in the city you’d actually recommend?

Hey,

which H&M in NYC carries the H&M + line?
