Fashion for curvy girls

Forgot to mention—if you're picking up one of those Pour Moi underwire bras, just go for a larger cup size. Trust me on this one.

Here’s the seller I used to grab a few of those thinner ones:

Brandon Nelson3 said:You can find Triumph$60 bras starting from size 70 on eBay UK. Obviously, we're talking brand new with tags here—they've got everything from tiny to huge. I managed to snag a Triumph Amourette for about 8 bucks, while back home they were going for 300 or $133, I can't remember the exact number. 😲 Since then, that's my go-to spot! 😍

Anita's bodysuits are way overpriced. If you want quality without the markup, check out Pour Moi on eBay—they're fantastic, and you won't pay more than $60 for a full set. 👍 Also, Panache is great, though their panty sizing runs pretty large, so I'd suggest sizing down. For the bras, though—especially the underwire ones—definitely grab a larger size.

Can you give me a concrete example of the size difference?
If you're rocking a Triumph 75E, you'd probably be looking at a 34D in Panache... just a guess—sizing can be such a headache between brands.

I picked up a Panache tankini in a 30G (65G)—normally I’m a solid 32F (70F) in Triumph bras—and while the band fits like a glove, the cups are just a hair too small. Honestly, fingers crossed they stretch out a bit from actual wear, because right now it's a tight squeeze.

I haven't actually tried Panache underwear yet—only Badiće.

Yeah, seriously—their underwear is way too big. You absolutely have to grab a size or even two smaller than what you usually wear.

I’m asking my fellow residents here in Seattle to point me toward somewhere I can actually find decent pants or a shirt in a reasonable size—specifically a US 18-20—because I am officially at my wit's end. I swung by Marks & Spencer, and frankly, I couldn't bring myself to spit $333 for a single pair of trousers and a blouse..
Huge thanks for closing down D. Perkins, too; now I don't even have a reliable spot for pants 😢 This city is honestly exhausting..

Wait, did D. Perkins carry larger sizes?
I usually grab my size 18 pants at M&S, and if they have an elastic waistband, I can even squeeze into a 16.

Hi 🙂
DP used to stock up to a UK 22, but since they shut down, finding anything at a decent price has become impossible.

I stopped by M&S and they have some lovely pieces—dresses, skirts, blouses—but I’m not about to drop $60$190 on a single skirt when I have baby diapers to buy.😁

The only place I haven't checked out is Gjuro XXL.🙄 Look, I know I've put on weight, but is there really nowhere in this entire city where you can buy clothes without getting robbed? UFF. I'm counting down the days until that new Western-style mall opens; maybe then we'll finally get a C&A or something similar.

Hey, have you maybe checked out downtown?
I bet that shop in San Diego has what you're looking for... they get new shipments in all the time, so if you dig around a bit, you'll definitely unearth something good.

Just browsing some vintage halinice pieces on eBay right now.
Does anyone here actually have a feel for how these run? Like, if I usually wear a size 52 in Italy, what should I be aiming for in UK sizing?

Ladies, moms, queens! 😁
I’m on the hunt for the perfect swimsuit again this summer... and I think I might have actually found the holy grail: http://www.simplybe.co.uk/shop/swimw...ts/show.action
Has anyone here ever ordered from this site before? Like, does anyone know what the shipping costs are? Thanks so much! 😁

That looks amazing! But there’s absolutely nothing mentioning if they ship to the US?! 🙂
Help a girl out!

No snow outside the States.

There's a shop like that near my place. I'll swing by again to see if they have anything worth grabbing.

thanks 😉

Hey, I see a lot of you guys picking up stuff on eBay, so I was hoping you could drop some seller recommendations for plus-size dresses. My mom needs one for a wedding this summer, and she’s honestly not exactly thrilled about hitting the malls. She’s looking for a US size 12-14.
Thanks!

Size 42 to 44 isn't even "plus size" 🙂

Not sure if I'm even asking this in the right spot 😁, but I’m heading over to Seiersberg soon. I remember there used to be a BiB section inside the H&M there, but I don't think I even spotted it last time... so now I'm wondering, does anyone actually know if that section is still there or if it's gone? 🤷

Where can I find some size 46/48 bras around $100 in the city?

Also, just wanted to toss another question into the mix regarding tankinis—specifically looking for ones with underwire (size 50 and E cups).
I checked out some stuff over at Ann Taylor, and honestly, they have a pretty decent selection, but everything is sitting at $70 or more, which is just way too steep for me. I’m trying to grab at least two of them, preferably those slimmer styles, you know? Not those baggy ones that look like little sundresses.
If anyone has any good eBay links or similar sites, please send them my way!😉
