IronDruggist 136 Posted January 17, 2015 I'm not quite there yet, but I'm getting down to the lower sizes at Torrid, Avenue, and Lane Bryant. Where did everyone shop for clothes at that in between stage, around size 12? I'm 34, so I need professional work apparel, but also fun age-appropriate stuff for non-work time. I know Maurice's carries a full size range, but honestly I've never shopped at "regular" clothing stores in my entire life. Advise? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MisforMimi 760 Posted January 17, 2015 Macy's and jcpenney clearance rack. Plus on the sale days there process are really comparable to places like tjmaxx for professional clothing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FitnFabfor2014 358 Posted January 17, 2015 Hi, Yes, Macy's has great clearance and sale items. I also spent a lot of time at TJMaxx and Marshall's (although I found I could get better deals on jeans at dept stores sometimes). I also found good deals at forever 21 (even though I'm way past that age). Also H&M. I like to dress fun and age appropriate too, so you can definitely find something there. Enjoy your journey!

Okiebon 61 Posted January 17, 2015 Do you have a Belks? Their regular prices are ok but clearance prices can't be beat. And they have really cute clothes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Djmohr 6,965 Posted January 18, 2015 Congratulations on your fantastic progress. Isn't this a great problem to have! For professional clothes I would look at Macy's as well as Boston Store if you have one. The have great prices on their clearance racks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
esskay77 785 Posted January 18, 2015 I have found a lot of great items at Macy's and JCPenney. Maybe the Dress Barn, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pepper123 320 Posted January 18, 2015 For sure Macy's and Amazon also... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
playlikeworldchamps 595 Posted January 18, 2015 I love Lord & Taylor. They had a great selection of plus size professional clothes and now that I am in regular sizes I am like a kid in a candy store! So much to choose from and great sales too! I try other dept stores but always come back. I guess I am sort of sentimental that they support the plus sizes with great selection so and staying loyal to them now that I've gone up the escalator in my local store.

esskay77 785 Posted January 18, 2015 I should also suggest the brand Alfani's in Macy's. They are in the plus sizes AND the regular sizes!! Although, it sounds like you could shop just about anywhere in the regular sizes. Have fun! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
