Question

hey i am 25yr old mom. I have been having trouble shopping lately, every time i go into a store my size is gone (14) and i cant fit into the cloths at big girl stores there too big, so basically I'm stuck in the middle.....where can i go shopping? I'm glad I'm too small for plus sizes but being on the bigger side of normal is tough, besides loose weight what can i do? I'm not obese or anything blood pressure and cholesterol are good .

Answer 1

Hey D, I know how you feel I have the same problem.  Last week I went shopping for some school clothes (I'm going back to college) and I found the best stuff at Kohl's on the Randolph/Stoughton line.  Also don't pay too much attention to actual size, different brands sizes run differently.  I'm a 14 in some, 12 in others, and I even fit into a couple 10s!  Good luck shopping!

Answer 2

i buy lots of clothes at old navy and i have trouble finding size 10 and 12, but i always see tons of size 14 stuff.

Answer 3

Maybe you should try shopping at some other stores, If your happy with weight dont try to loose any, always good to have curves!

Answer 4

My wife is a 14 and we have had luck at JC Penny - they have a section just for larger sizes. Khols has some things but I wonder about their quality. Good Luck!

Answer 5

I know how you  feel I'm in the same position but I shop at mervyns, jcpenny, and even walmart; yes walmart. I get most of my jeans there. All my friends half of time ask were did you get those jeans and I say walmart they can't believe it. So you have to look around, look around.

Answer 6

I really don't know what you should do. I've went through that stage before when no clothes would fit me. But you just have to wait to get clothes. I'm sure you'll grow out of it.

Answer 7

do you have a new york and company by you? they always have every size from 0 to 18! you can try them online www.newyorkandcompany.com

Answer 8

I know that it may take all of the "fun" out of shopping, but buying via the internet is wonderful.  If you find items you like locally, but they just don't have your size, hit the website.

Answer 9

I'm glad you have a good attitude about what is within the range of normal!  What stores are you shopping at?  Did you know that different stores size things differently so you might want to make note that at one store you are a 14 and at another you are a 12....I don't know what to tell you except keep on looking!  Oh and some of the bigger girl stores like Fashion Bug for instance---they have 14's on their bigger side and sometimes I wonder if people know that?

Answer 10

JC Penny and Macy's.

Answer 11

Answer 12

TJ Maxx always has a variety of sizes in bulk. Also...you could always just take the clothing to a dry cleaner and have them re-size it to fit you perfectly.

Answer 13

Go to Elle Plus. They're in Canada.

Answer 14

Try Walmart! They actually have some really good clothes there!
