Fashion for curvy girls

Justin Davis2 said:What numbers does Monsoon go up to? 😁

Man, I was just scrolling through and I gotta say, you seriously have some absolutely stunning models on here! Like, I mean, seriously, they are just gorgeous. It’s kind of wild how much quality you've got going on, I guess? Maybe it's just my taste, but wow. 👍

Justin Davis2 said:Can you post a picture of those pants? I’ve been hunting for good black cotton pants forever, but honestly, stuff at M&S always feels kind of small to me, I don't know... I’d probably need a US size 18 or whatever their 22 is.
One time I was looking at blouses and it said size 24, but there was no way that was actually a 24...
I’m not from around here, though—which mall has the M&S? I’ve only ever been to the one in the Westgate area.

My go-to pants are actually just M&S joggers $57. They come in black, navy, and gray, but they look like actual pants 🙂. As for sizing, I wear the same as you, but an 18 works for me there—though you really have to try them on. You can find M&S at the mall, Avenue Mall, or maybe the one near downtown.
Their cuts are generally roomy, especially the bootcut ones, and I think they go up to a 24.🙂
Yeah, regarding Monsoon, they only do L and XL, but those feel huge to me too. There was a dress I liked that looked massive in XL, but I didn't try it on so who knows. Still, I'm not exactly dropping cash 🙂 on stuff like that.

Take yours. Free delivery. 🙂

Does anyone know where I can find some skin-toned compression sleeves for weightlifting—maybe around 20 days worth of use—and some dumbbells in XL or XXL sizes? Looking in Chicago or somewhere online.
The cheaper, the better.🙂
As for the weights, I don't care about the aesthetics. They’re strictly for practical use, not for show.

I’m thinking about ordering this skirt:

Usually, I wear a US size 18 or 20. But according to their sizing chart, I’m looking at a 24 or 26🤷. Are these things just running super small? Because what even is a size 2—is that for a baby? 🙂

Has anyone here actually shopped on this site before?

One more thing—if anyone else is placing an order, I’d love to jump in on it. Or if someone wants to tag along on mine, let me know. There’s a minimum order requirement,$66 and this skirt is only $56.

They’re probably about the size of France—and those guys? They're smaller than our lot.

Mine definitely aren't. I know Italian sizing runs about four sizes smaller. In other words, this 54/56 would actually be a 50/52, which would fit me much better. Besides, I rarely wear a size 50, and it’s not like I suddenly gained weight and jumped to a 56 overnight. It's a good thing it didn't occur to me to order that skirt in a size 50.

Ugh, tell me about it—I need this too! 😍
Yours Truly has some stuff, but the stocking selection is tiny, and the garters and clips are way too "frilly" for my taste. Looking for something more low-key.

Can you drop a link?🙂

Heading down to the local hardware store today to see what they’ve got in stock. Honestly, their inventory has been pretty lackluster lately compared to our guys here, but they definitely hold an edge when it comes to those random household gadgets you don't know you need until you see them. 😁

Victoria, that skirt is fire.
Did you order her?
Feels like it's gonna take forever to get here... definitely let me know how it turns out.

And I can't... I just can't. If I did, I'd have to deal with more stuff on top of it. It’s too small an amount anyway, and I'm done spending money right now. So, I think I won't 😢.

Found some stuff that ships on its own—though honestly, shipping costs these days are just a total rip-off:

There’s more where that came from.

Some socks from Bonprix too:

Thinking about placing an order with Yours Clothing. If anyone in the NYC area wants to jump in so we can split the shipping—hit me up. I’ve also got a 15% off coupon for full-price items.

The Calzedonia outlet is definitely its own thing when it comes to $3.75. I haven't really looked at their dumbbells, though. Honestly, I’ve regretted buying standalone items before 😂. It's not their fault, though. It's just my own clumsy mistakes 🤣.

Hang in there, Lisa Myers! 🙂
How far does "stand alone" go? Since we're using Italian numbers here, do I need to subtract one or two?

They aren't sold in standard clothing sizes like regular apparel. They aren't any kind of socks either.

Some brands actually stick to standard sizing—like this, for example:
http://www.yoursclothing.co.uk/P/Nud...817900%29.aspx
But yeah, I’m with you—most of them just use those 3, 4, 5, 6 numbers... basically just weight brackets printed right on the bag. Not sure if Italian sizing hits those same weight ranges as the usual stuff, though.

She went to Kohl's today and picked up a vest for $10, a jacket for $30, and a shirt for about $6.75 from the queen-size section. Then she hit the petite department and found two absolutely gorgeous shirts. I was thrilled when I tried them on because they were three sizes too small—they’re oversized styles, but on me, they fit 😁 perfectly. I'll definitely be stopping by there more often. 😁

Hey, I've ordered from BonPrix a few times for you. About the sizing... I wouldn't say they run small, per se. It feels more like they use German sizing, kind of like how things fit at Kohl's or maybe similar to what Neckermann used to be like. Man, I miss when Neckermann was around; I used to score such good deals during their sales. If only they shipped directly to us like these German brands do.
Oh, and I think BonPrix offers a discount of $17 for new customers, or at least they used to. My packages usually took about three weeks to arrive—never faster—so maybe keep that in mind.

Does anyone have experience ordering from those UK sites like ASOS or New Look? How does their sizing compare to places like Kohl's or C&A?

There’s no way I’m like Kik. I’m a size 4 in Kik and a 4 in C&A most of the time, though occasionally a 6. That’s actually my first plus-size number! A 1XL would be massive on me, yet according to Bonprix, I’d be a 14?!

Honestly, I won't order anything. It's too much of a risk, and the prices aren't exactly cheap either... this thing for $17 requires spending more than a specific amount. It says so on their websites, I don't remember the exact figure, but it's pretty high.
