Fashion for curvy girls

Good grief, Orbital, you have no idea... I finally bit the bullet and picked up some swimwear from Calzedonia for $117... which, let’s be honest, is a massive amount of money to drop... and the design? It was absolutely lifeless 😢

In that case, I’d definitely suggest "Small Bag, Big Freedom" by Sanja Pilic... 😍

I'll let you all know how the fit turns out once it arrives, just in case anyone is interested in the specifics. On another note, I checked out that shop over in New York, but they’re selling Panache, Freya, and Fantasie bras for nearly double what I can find on eBay; though, I suppose it’s a decent option if you ever need something in a real hurry.

I thought I should report back on how my eBay purchase turned out. I ordered a Panache bra in a size 34G, and since their sizing system follows that specific progression—moving through FF, G, GG, and H—I simply went with the size their own conversion charts suggested would fit me best. It turns out their math is actually spot on.

I am finding it impossible to locate a decent bra in any local shop lately. Every single option from Victoria's Secret is far too small, and even the Triumph line is a joke—those are somehow even more undersized than the Victoria's Secret stuff. As for Anita, while I could technically squeeze into a 75H, they have absolutely no structural integrity because the fabric stretches way too much around the band, so they offer zero actual support. That leaves me looking at a 70H, which is obviously far too tight to be wearable.

By the way, I’ve been browsing through some blogs lately, and if anyone actually cares about the specifics, it seems like the brands Freya and Fantsie tend to offer somewhat smaller selection sizes.

Thanks to everyone for the assistance.😍

Oh my gosh, I actually went out and bought a swimsuit yesterday at Target! It is absolutely stunning—bright red, with these cute little straps on the bottoms and then this band right under the bust that’s covered in glitter.. $30, size 50. My girls fit perfectly in the top part! 😁 And honestly, they have such amazing swimwear there, though most of it was already sold out, it's definitely worth a look.. I am seriously obsessed.. I only went in to grab some snacks for the beach trip, and I ended up walking out with a whole new swimsuit. This might actually be the first time I've ever bought a suit without all the usual agony, tears, and stress. 😁

Way to go, girl!
People always laugh when I tell them I found the best swimsuit of my entire life at GetMart.
It cost $17 and it was a classic bikini style where the top had adjustable cups that move along the band, and the bottoms tied at the sides.
Anyway, I've got plenty of cleavage to work with 😁 (an F cup) 😁
I think I'll have to make a run over to Kaufland soon.
Do they carry one-piece suits there?

I seriously couldn't believe it! I wanted to grab the black, the blue, and the purple ones, but they were all sold out...
They do have one-pieces—monokinis, basically... and they are gorgeous! There was this one purple one with these thick gold chain straps around the neck! It looked so good... and they had up to size 14, but only the size 8 was left...

Hey. I need some help... does anyone know where I can pick up size 46 braces? If they even make them in that size. Help!

Did you try looking at Lisa's place or maybe Anita's? If I were you, I'd definitely go check things out over there.🤔

Where else can I find more formal, larger-sized dresses besides Marina Rinaldi or Marks & Spencer? I need something urgently for a wedding in three weeks. Looking for midi or maxi lengths with a deeper neckline. Thanks 🙂

Maxy P? It’s been a minute—but I remember back in the day, they used to have two different types of stores right next to each other: one "fancy" boutique and one just for everyday stuff. I was never really much of a dress person myself, though I did once treat myself to this gorgeous skirt and blouse combo—absolutely stunning, very formal.

I saw some evening gowns at Macy's back in the winter—not sure if they still have them in stock, though. They weren't even that pricey.

So, I caught that massive sale over at Monsoon in downtown Chicago—it’s like 70% off right now. There are actually plenty of larger sizes left, too, which is rare—they usually cap things out at size 14. Dresses are going for as low as $133.

To all the ladies in Miami

I recently stopped by the Kotex department store, where there's a boutique called Kik located on the ground floor that carries a surprisingly decent selection bras in sizes larger than 36 and cups above an E. The prices hover around $33, so if anyone is looking, I’d suggest heading over there. I can't personally vouch for the quality since I don't own any, but they are contemporary styles rather than those outdated, dowdy designs, which is a relief since it's nice to have options available besides just Anita..

Hey there,
has anyone here ever ordered from OneStopPlus?
Do they ship out to our area?
I've got my eye on this one dress, though I'm not sure how it'll actually look on me.
The issue is, unlike some of you, I don't have any 🙂
On plus-size women, a large bust and a nice neckline can really
help camouflage things, but for me, it's just my stomach (or what I call my "muffin top")
that stands out...
Here’s the link to the dress ☕

I'm just curvy with zero cleavage!

Apparently, they don't even ship to the States anymore.

Oltrea is a thing of the past. 🙂

They shut it down! Now they’re going to open Teranova instead. 🙂

Everything is backwards and completely wrong!!!

Does anyone out there happen to know if there's an H&M department inside any of the malls around the Chicago area? Like, specifically looking for this section:
