- Good size and style choices moderately priced. 14w to 34w plus sizes, some
petite & tall
- Nice up-to-date plus size fashions including dressy women's clothes and
casual womenswear,
lots of pants and tops, working women's plus size dresses, shoes,
swim wear
 | Nice fit especially for the full hourglass figure*. In swimwear, I did need to buy one size up. |
 | More trendy, and youthful plus size fashions suitable for a wide age group including juniors. Unfortunately, they seem to show minimum plus size models - if that, in their catalog and some of the clothes hang too loosely on the models. |

Often offer discounts for plus size clothes in their women's print catalog |

Bauer - New Women's Collection

and dresses in petites and talls
- Women's casual clothes including swimsuits, skirts, tops, pants, dresses, shorts & more
| Don't pull the tape measure too tight when deciding what size to buy here. I have large upper arms, and in a shirt or two I tried, the sleeves were
not as comfortable as I would have liked. |
|
Conservative but stylish and classy plus size fashions |
| Great plus size pants options. They have proportioned womens pants and some with ease through hip and thigh, also women's petite and
tall pants, plus shorts. Avoid what they call capris as they really are otherwise known as cropped pants.(see page 1, The Apple) |

That's not all!
Other stores and companies selling plus size women's clothing and women's
clothes from size 14 and up that I have purchased from include Lane
Bryant, Junonia, Silhouettes, JMS - Just My Size, Ula Popken, and Lands End
Women for these, See page 1.
Soon, I'll add more clothing retailers I have tried - J.Jill, Appleseeds,
Bedford Fair and several others that offer clothes for plus size women. Hurray!
The market is quickly growing for us to shop for larger size women's clothes.
Plus, there are other new full-fashioned women's clothing companies just getting
started. I'll add more information and recommendations as I try new sources
for full-figured women's clothes for you - and me!
