Measurements all out of whack.. clothes suck!

I'm having serious issues. I keep looking frumpy, so I buy new sizes.. everything is either frumpy or too small. I took measurements and compared them to size charts last night.. and no wonder.

But now what?!

My Chest- 44"

Waist- 40"

Hips At largest- 41"

(Sample size chart did not format right, so here's the info compared to the size chart)

sizing guidelines

My chest is an 18, my waist is (not even on here) 24 maybe, and my hips are 12. I am finding this everywhere I go!!!! If the shirt fits my boobs & belly, it looks frumpy on my arms and shoulders. Argh. I've upset, I don't even know what to do with this info. I'm always going to look frumpy in clothes now? :wub:

There are some Jeans at Walmart , i SWEAR they are THE MOST Comfy jeans I have owned in my LIFE , and better yet only $19 !!!

Levi Strauss Signature - Women's Mid-Rise Boot-Cut Jeans, Juniper - Wal-Mart

they are the signature series they have several Rises and Lengths. They are "Stretch" But they fit around your hips and Butt and are fiited but not too fited around your legs. I cant explain it they fit PERFECT. The low rise or Med. Rise ones Cut my "fat" apron around my stomach in half so its not as apparent. Ya'll should give them a try , they are usually not hanging up they are on the stands !

I think we are the same height, LB has new sizing?

I get 100% of my pants from alloy.com .. long lengths, and they fit perfectly on me even as I transition. My whole problem is shirts.. I am a size 18-24?-12 going down my torso. I get tired of being asked if I'm pregnant in babydolls..

Laura,

Have you ever tried tall size shirts? Eddie Bauer sells all their stuff in tall sizes, maybe you should try one of their shirts. They are made for us tall girls. I really can't wear anything from a "normal" store. Tall size all the way.
