Fashion for curvy girls

Mind if I ask what size you are?

44/46, so that makes it their 18th. I grabbed 20, so I'll narrow it down. Not sure what the model is yet.

Are you going to be super mad if I say this looks like gift wrap from Target? 🤣

I’m really not a fan. It’s mostly the fabric—it looks "cheap" and honestly just like crinkly paper. Plus, I don't think a cut like that on the top (bare upper arms) works for "curvier" figures. But hey, I don't know what you look like, and obviously, the most important thing is that you love it. Never mind me 😉.

It’s not my first choice either, mostly because of the color. But I think if you throw something over your shoulders—like a cream-colored cardigan or something similar—it would look great. I have a few formal events coming up, so I'm hoping it isn't too pricey just in case I end up never wearing it. 🙂

So, what about those shoulder straps over at Macy's? Are they flimsy or actually sturdy?
I’ve got this feeling I’m gonna be missing at least 5cm of coverage myself. 😁 Right now, the only size that works for me is at Anita. But man, those prices are insane... totally ridiculous! I already paid double for two of them before. $267 🙄

Dana, you should check out Triumph bras on eBay. You can find all sizes there for around $33!
I've been ordering that way for years—I wear a 34G, which you basically can't find around here without paying an insane amount. My last pair was this pale pink Triumph lace one for about $17.

If you need help with links or figuring out how to order, just shoot me a DM and I'll send over my list of trusted sellers I always use.

Brandon Nelson3, thanks for the heads-up.. I'll definitely get back to you 😉
Those prices sound absolutely killer!

No worries at all—I know firsthand how much of a nightmare it is trying to find a bra in non-standard sizes.😉

Does anyone know where in the States I can actually find a decent women's coat in sizes 52, 54, or 56?

I’m looking for something truly high-quality, with a budget of around $467.

Every time I try searching online for "plus size coats," the results are nothing more than cheap, shapeless rags that look like they were salvaged from a thrift store bin.

🤷

NAME.

much appreciated 🙂

If anyone is looking for affordable plus-size clothing, send me a DM.

Hey, I need some girl advice here... does anyone know where I can pick up some maxi skirts around town without totally breaking the bank?

thanks 🙂

Actually, the dress isn't even that material at all—not what it looked like in the photo. It’s not some stiff, sparkly fabric for grandmas; it’s actually really soft and smooth to the touch. And the shimmer? You only really see it when you get up close. It doesn't have that constant glittery look.

I'm glad you're happy with it.

Lisa Myers said:A little more about bras 🤣 - I found size 105 D at the flea market and had plenty of options, so I grabbed three. Price: $12/each. The style is roughly like this:

Thick straps, sturdy yet soft—though this specific one from Victoria's Secret actually isn't very soft and feels a bit "scratchy." I'm super happy with them, though. Usually, a Victoria's Secret bra like this goes for $60.

They aren't fancy, but now I can save my better ones with the pretty lace for "special" occasions and use these for lounging around the house and everyday wear. They have several styles, all similar to this. I'm talking about the local flea market here, but I bet you can find stuff like this anywhere in the States. That is, if you don't mind buying second-hand goods.

this is literally my favorite bra in the whole world 🙂

also, do those flea market ones hold you up well enough?

Anyone got any fresh links for gear? Specifically looking for sporty stuff—like tracksuits, leggings, zip-up tees, whatever...

Triumph bras for $33????

Oh my gosh, please send me a link.
I am honestly so over not being able to buy a bra for less than $50 🙂

Believe it or not—yes! I'm beyond happy with it. My only regret is they didn't have black in this size... I might have to talk my "aunt" into ordering one🤣.

In case anyone cares, I was at Target today and saw they actually have jeans up to size 22! And the fit is killer—they're bootcut. $100.

Hang on, there are some higher numbers in here too...
