Old navy doesn't have that big of sizes though. I wear guy clothes so I buy from a big and tall store called Casual Male. Or I just buy Dickies shorts.

Does Old Navy carry plus sizes??

As far as i know you can get up to a 24 easily there....but im not sure of anything any bigger. I know Oldnavy.com has more selection then the actual stores.

I haven't purchased any clothes in over a year, but prior to that, I bought most everything from Lane Bryant. It's the only store nearby GUARANTEED to have something that fit that I could buy and then get the heck out of the mall with all possible quickness.

Lane bryant and fashion bug tend to be the stores I frequent the most, though I got a bunch of stuff at marshal fields before it went away one time I was in chicago area. I also shop online. I haven't purchased anything from them yet, but I thought alight.com has some cute stuff and a wide variety. There is torrid for some more "normal" type clothes. Hottopic.com has a skull tank I want. Ebay. Oh the things I discover on ebay...

The catherines by me I don't like. There is also a new plus sized store in the mall that opened up, I can't remember the name. But it wasn't anything I like, plus the sales lady completely ignored me. I was the only person in the store too. Some stores I notice tend to have what I think of as middle aged comfy teacher wear. The sort of thing I remember a lot of my middle aged teachers wearing. Fine for them, but not what I want. There is one store in the mall that is supposed to offer sizes a little bigger, weather vane or vanity I think. Not as big as me but more like size 17 so when I get to that size I have to try that out. Sometimes gordmans or kohls. LOL now it sounds like I shop a lot. I really don't even have that many clothes. Less than DH, honest.

Ok not that many that fit. Rather few actually. I do have some clothes in storage bins that don't fit that i need to weed through and save for when I hit that size though.

I am a size 24/26 currently and 6'0. So, I only shop at Alloy for pants, and everywhere else for tops.

I am pretty loyal to the following:

www.alloy.com (All their shirts run WAAAY too small, 3x top didn't fit my xl size friend..their pants are pretty true to size and have 32-37" inseams)

www.torrid.com (plus size shop of Hot Topic- carries wide width shoes that are sexy-best I've ever found)

www.alight.com (BEST hippie kinda clothes I've ever found in plus-which I like. Price is a bit steep, but I splurge once in a while)

www.oldnavy.com (Yes, they have plus size and they fit really well.. definitely not too small, if anything I buy size down on some items)

www.newport-news.com (OldER women styles, this is where I get my business clothes.. my mom who is size 12/14 also shops here.. they are pricey but clothes are nice)

www.spiegel.com (Same info as newport-news)

Other places to mention:

I've also shopped at the following and still do once in a while-

www.roamans.com

www.fashionbug.com

And lastly, lane bryant's website. They're a little out of my price range though, so.. shrug.

*I've been online shopping since I was about 13 and they came out with 'cool' plus size clothes. Until then, I always wore out of men's big & tall.

I tend to shop at Lane Bryant, Torrid, The Avenue. However, I have so many clothes ranging from 26/28 at my largest which was right before banding, to size 16 which I didget down to in 2005 right before I traveled to back home to Ireland. Came back to California, dropped my low carb diet, and put on all the weight back plus some.

Cant wait to be down to a 16 again! God I love my band!

Our Old Navy does not have pls sizes either. I like Fashion Bug and Lane Bryant. I also sometimes find theings at Target and Walmart. But my favorite is deffinitly Lane Bryant. They are just really expensive.

I am going through sizes so i don't like to spend a lot for clothes right now so it is Walmart and fashion bug and occasionally kohls when the have a sale. I used to shop Romans and lanebryant catalogue almost all the time because I had to. I don't use the catalogues anymore. Catherines I agree has not got clothes i like and their prices are too high for short term wear.
