Never had an issue finding trendy clothes. My biggest issue is having to buy things online instead of in stores.

That's true.. I shopped at Lane Bryant for my clothes. I would occasionally shop at side stores such as rainbow and city trends, but most of the things from the side stores would just tear up within the first few times of me wearing them. As a plus size woman clothes are expensive. You get what you pay for. I'm spending $60+ for a pair of jeans.

I am a clothes horse as it is. I am dreading having more option for clothes because I know I will get out of control.

I think a lot of us will find new issues with clothes, like no matter what your size is, they are always out of that size.

Women who are plus sized think they are the only ones who have issues finding clothes but all women have issues.

When I am smaller I want to wear mostly designer clothing, right now I spend most of my money on bags and shoes, but when I can walk into Nordstrom and Neimans and get whatever I want, it is going to be a problem.

Yea I hate shopping online tho. I can find cute clothes it's just not as many stores for plus size women

I've always been a fashion gal. I shop everywhere; Macy's, Nordstroms, Lord & Taylor's Target, Lane Bryant, Ross, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Avenue, Ashley Stewart, H & M, Forever 21, Hot topic, Torrid, cheapie stores like Dot and Rainbow. I can also get things from the local India and African boutiques.

Online the possibilities are endless; ASOS, SimplyBe, Wet Seal, Torrid, Macy's, Nordstroms, Lord & Taylor's Target, Lane Bryant, Ross, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Avenue, Ashley Stewart, H & M, Forever 21, Hot Topic, Old Navy, FullBeauty, Jessica London, Woman Within, Marisota, Eloquii, Hanes, QVC, J. Jill, Ulla Popken, Anna Sholtz, etc.... I could go on and on.

I have never let myself be limited.

I hate shopping but I also hated it when I was in shape so I know nothing will really change.

Its even harder if lane bryant don't carry your size

Not a huge Lane Bryant fan. I suspect I may have an easier time shopping in brick and mortar stores, but since I am a bargain shopper, I will likely always shop online as well.

I too eagerly want to depart the plus size section. Living in a rural area the only places to get plus size clothes in an hour radius is Walmart, Shopko, and Mauries, and somewhat at Christopher Banks. Mauries is generally where I shop, but they're often out of what ever size I need.

Focusing first on departing the sizes in the 20s, then the countdown can really begin. Heck, I'll be excited to shop Old Navy in store again.
