NY girls...help me out...

[swanny 0]

Hi,

I'm taking a little trip state side this week...buffalo-amherst. And I need to know some good places to buy clothes...I'm not quite into the regular sizes yet (size 20). Any suggestions besides hitting Target and Walmart?

Any ideas would be most welcomed.

Swanny I'm a shopoholic My three favorites are Lane Bryant, Fashion Bug, and The Avenue they have great clothes in Plus sizes. Very stylish up to date stuff. Have fun

Dress Barn has some larger sizes and I love Catherines. If you can't find a store near you, you can shop online.

Thanks ..I checked out Avenue..and even found an online coupon...will have to check it out.

Also looked at the dress barn..I thought they only sold dresses..who knew.:nervous

Hopefully, will find some good deals, since I only plan on wearing them a short while till I get down to the next size.

Ever been to the outlets on Military Rd. Niagara Falls? Do you know if there are any plus stores in there?

[pebulz 135]

Im not sure about Niagara Falls I'm quite a distance from their so Ive only been their sightseeing never to buy clothes but I'm sure their are If you look alot of the stores are now selling Plus Size I know like Mandee and some other stores sell Plus Size but only in certain stores not everywhere. By me they dont but about an hour away they do so you never know I always look even if its not a Plus Siza store Have fun In Niagara Falls though thats one of my favorite places Ive ever been its breathtaking

I am also a shopaholic so I have a list! Since you're looking for something to wear a short while definately shop sales 'cause you'll probably be giving them away shortly. H&M in NYC has great clothes and nice prices, Old Navy goes up to a size 20, Torrid.com for funky wear, Zaftique.com......

Happy shopping!

Lots2Luv I forgot about Torrid, H&M and Old Navy But you reminded me about the Palisades Mall, they have several plus size stores and actually they had pretty good prices. I was surprised that I went to Palisades with one of my many "skinny" friends and she got annoyed because every thing she liked was only in Plus Sizes and so many of the "trendy" stores were for us Big Girls HAHAHAHAHA what a great feeling that was.

I bet that was a good feeling we need more Palisades!!!! I'm gonna make a trip out there just so I could feel like a majority and not a minority:p

I'm tellin you, it was such a good feeling, I also mentioned to my friend it looked like their were alot of "Big" people walkin around their too. I definitely felt good that day. Man this is makin me wanna shop I gotta stop reading this board HAHA Thanks Swanny look you got us shopaholics thinking LOL I'm trying to hold out on shopping for awhile I feel like it keeps me motivated because Im dying to shop. But I dont wanna buy clothes that wont last long so what I did is last week I went shopping with my cousin and said I wouldnt buy anything but then I ended up in The Avenue and they had a great sale on this cute cami and panty sets so I had to get it but I bought it 2 sizes too small So I felt good buying something but knew I will have to lose alot more to wear it

HEY...Our old navy stores here don't go to size 20! No fair.

Thanks for the tips..I'm going to have to keep reminding myself these clothes won't be my size for long so I won't buy much. Also getting stoppped by Canada Customs is no fun either.
