Ok I'm finally down to an 18 in pants which I plan to continue to shop at old navy, lane Bryant, and target for those but I'm now wearing an xl or even large in some tops. I go to those three stores and that's fine but I want to venture out some for shirts. I don't want to go to a store though that runs small and look silly or feel sad trying and not fitting. So I would love some suggestions for places that have xl that runs regular or even a tad big. Any help from ppl who already have explored

New York & Co ...depending on style u try. I could wear their xl shirts & dresss @250lb (stretchy styles lol). Gap, AE, aero?

I did well at Kohl's.

I went to the mall and tried on a large at Gap... It was too big (in that particular shirt) I ended up with a medium top... From gap... A real store! Holy crap! I'm so excited!

Gap has been my store after surgery. Love it

I cannot wait until I can shop those stores! You may not get me out of the mall!
