clovermeg 2 Posted May 18, 2007 I tried doing a search for "clothes" but couldn't find anything...so...I'm finding I'm going down in size, but still woman's size...22/24 and I need some advice on websites where I can find stylish, yet affordable clothing. I don't like to bargain shop, so I don't want to go to an expensive website and then have to sift through the clearance and maybe find the size I need...instead I'd prefer an affordable online store. If you have any suggestions I'd greatly appreciate them!!! Thanks so much! Meg:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Northernsun 4 Posted May 18, 2007 Not sure about the stylish part but definately affordable- Roamans and Woman Within ( old lane bryant catalogue). Also Fashion bug online has some cute stuff and is affordable. As with most womans clothes, sizes vary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryrose 2 Posted May 18, 2007 I like JC Penney. They also have an outlet...they have a plus size juniors dept. too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
losingjusme 12 Posted May 18, 2007 try searching for a thread by Wheetsin - LB is pissing me off or something like that.. they give good alternatives.. in this case LB = lane bryant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paula78 0 Posted May 18, 2007 Fashion Bug online is good. They are always having sales so they are reasonable. I would be carefull about purchasing clothes online though since the sizes always do seem to vary, but I suppose you could return them if they didnt fit right! I hate it though I always see cute things in the ads (bermuda shorts) and than i try them on and they look like S#$T on me! Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clovermeg 2 Posted May 19, 2007 Thank you so much! I'm off to search for the thread on Lane Bryant That's the only store around here that's for larger women and they are too expensive and their clothes seem cheaply made to me, one of my biggest issues with them is that their shirts are really WIDE and really SHORT....which does me no good because I don't want my shirts to be like halter tops.

steinquilts 0 Posted May 20, 2007 I've been shopping at Walmart and they seem to have a few things that aren't overpriced Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
losingjusme 12 Posted May 20, 2007 i LOOOOOOVE the Avenue and actually just bought a really cute dress from Dress Barn on sale for $39 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Susan3343 0 Posted May 20, 2007 The Avenue is really great for those of us that have large feet. They start at size 9 and go up to I believe size 13. They carry wide width also. I think they are priced very reasonable. I love that store!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GayleTX 1 Posted May 20, 2007 I'm just now getting into 20/22's and am going inside real stores for the first time in years. I'm finding some cute things at JCPenney and Dress Barn and Cato's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sophrosyne 0 Posted May 20, 2007 Sarah Jessica Parker is coming out with a new line of clothing from size 2 to 22 and it's totally stylish/cute/sexy and so cheap it's almost free. It premieres June 7 at Steve and Barry stores. An entire outfit costs under $30. (And I think that even includes the shoes!). Jeans are $14. You can even get a winter coat for under $20. Her motto is that fashion isn't a privilege, it's a right. So it should be affordable for all women. The line is called "Bitten". Here's the website: BITTEN | Sarah Jessica Parker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
