I'm still a "newbie", but could not believe it when I tried on a pair of jeans at Academy...and they actually fit! I haven't been able to buy clothes from there in YEARS because they don't carry women's sizes, so I definitely had to buy myself a pair. The added bonus? "Normal" size jeans sure cost a lot less than my regular Lane Bryant Right Fit brand!!!

Loving my band!

Congratulations,

I look forward to when I can by bottoms in the Ann Taylor store instead of online. They don't sell size 16 in their stores. Actually, I don't need to, I have plenty from the last time I was a size 10, 12, and 14. Actually I have organized my too small bottoms.

Funny, but this is my main goal. I will be so thrilled the first time I can buy clothes at a normal store and not in the "plus" section....seriously why do they make such ugly clothes for "women" sizes? Maybe it is to encourge us to lose weight lol.

A size 16 in the 'Normal" section will be amazing......my ultimate goal is to be a 10/12. I'm not looking for "skinny" and considering that a size 10 is considered a "PLUS SIZE" model in the modeling industry, I'll be happy with that.
