I should know, because I have ‘em! I have an hourglass figure that most men seem to love and I kinda like. Until I walk into a fitting room. Why? Because my boobs (are great but) too big for most tops that fit the rest of my body. My hips are too big for pants that fit my butt (or wait, do I have that backwards? I dunno..just something is freakin’ off) and the only place I am ever able to find pants that fit is Maurices.

I’m 5′4 so I have to hem almost every pair of pants I buy….EVER! Tailoring is pricey and if the person messes up your garment you are double screwed. Plus I’m a procrastinator. I have two pairs of pants that I can’t wear till I take them in to the tailor and guess what…. it’s been over a month already!

I know I’m not the only person who has this problem. I suppose there are no standard sizes because well.. have you ever seen two women (aside from twins) who have the exact same shape? Even if you trade clothes with a friend.. you know that skirt looks better on one of you than it does on the other. Nothing seems to fit two different people the same. And it’s especially hard for women who are very curvy to find flattering and stylish clothes.

I found this blog post from Fattie Gossip (btw I abhor the other F word, but I suppose it’s okay in this case :P ) with links to tons of online stores for plus sized women. She even includes the price ranges for ya! Be sure to check out her blog & post if you are a plus sized lady looking to add some awesome items to your wardrobe.
