The one piece of clothing every plus size girl needs?

[HunnyBun 2]

We all have that one piece of clothing we can't do without. Some would say it's pantyhose, others say it's a thong.

What about you? What is the one piece of clothing you must have in your closet, and as soon as it's ruined you run to the store for another? Why do you love it so?

I say, have at least one great pair of sexy jeans. You can put it on with a nice jacket and head out to a fancy lunch. You can pair it with a flirty top and go clubbing. Looks great with heels too.

I'm with you on the jeans...and I would add a nice fitting pair of khakis, since I wear them to work most days...I teach, and have to look nice, but I want to be comfie, too. I don't like wearing dresses because of the panty hose! How about comfortable and cute underwear? Fun question! Cindy

On the outside, I would def go with the well fitting, slimming jeans. Essential for all those quick change occasions.

Under that, the right bra!!! Without it the girls just look funky, get squooshed, are too pointy, etc. Ya gotta have a good over shoulder boulder holder.

Good, fitting pair of jeans and some sexy underwear. Always a nice surprise under those jeans

White t-shirts! I have a ton of them! My Mom gets mad at me cause I am always buying them!

I am always on the lookout for comfy black pants. One of these days pants with a real waist band and zipper will be comfy to me, but I still want my elastic waist, black pants that can be dressed up with shoes and a nice shirt, untucked, of course. I'm NO fashion diva though. That is the one item I look to replace and buy several pair at a time. The right bra has made a big difference, too.

Hangers.... Every time I go in there I need more of them!!!

[HarleyNana 10]

I think a sweater/cardigan set, that will dress up either a pair of black pants, jeans, or a skirt. I have a couple with sequins on them and I can go from casual to dressy in a "flash".

As for hangers, every time I buy anything, I always ask them to leave them on the hanger. Sometimes you'll get a clerk that doesn't care and will give you the good ones, other times, they'll grab a flimsy hanger, then I just toss it when I get home. I don't use those 10 for $1.00 hangers they ruin your clothes.

Not to steal the thread, but I always hang my cotton shirts on two hangers, inside out, less chance for the mini muscles to show, then if they do, they're inverted.

the right bra!!!

Ditto. This is mine.

[HarleyNana 10]

I agree with the right bra, but I haven't found it yet. That's right up there with the ill fitting pair of shoes, that's why when I walk in the door off come the shoes, then the bra.

I can see it now.....Dear (says Pat's DH) this is Reverend Smith....! ROTFL

Jeans! I love my jeans! And of course a good fitting bra!

absolutely, a decent bra.. the wrong one can add pounds and unsightly globules.. the right one can take off pounds, add shape to your body and make you look much more decent in your clothing, no matter the size.

i've worn a custom fitted bra since the late 80's and although, expensive, they last for years and years and can make or break how i look in my clothes.

I vote for a comfortable bra that actually "lifts" without cutting into my shoulders. I tried "custom" bras but the underwires start bothering me so now I just wear an "18 Hour" bra. I use them for about two months then toss them since they start to break down from the weight of my "boobs." I have scaring under my breasts due to rashes, so I am always happy to not have any weird rashes.

I cannot believe I am talking about this!

It's all about the right bra! I had a place here in New Jersey that did fittings and they were true miracle workers. They were so good that my sister, mom and cousines would come up to vist just to go get a bra. This place was so awesome that when the New Jersey store closed in Oct., our hubbys got together and arranged for the "New York Bust Trip" as a Christmas gift to us. They will watch the kids and pay for gas, tolls, and lodgings in NYC so were can get good bra's. As my sisters hubby said, " it's cheaper than surgery and I like the outcome".
