Aside from store reviews, I'd like to also bring to your attention other sources where you can easily find larger sizes but for whatever reason don't get a whole lot of press.
We all know how much of a hassle it can be to shop at brick and mortar stores, where everything seems to be made for sylphs and teenagers. It's even harder if you live in a small town or a rural community, where the nearest "nice" store can be a long road trip away.
Sure, you have the internet. But how do the clothes look on a real person as opposed to a skinny model? Not to mention the amount of time you have to spend looking around for stuff you actually like.
Home shopping t.v. can be your answer. Home Shopping Network (HSN) and QVC sell a LOT of clothes and accessories. They range from casual wear to the latest trends to lingerie to clothes for work. Not all of it is wonderful in my opinion, but people can find clothes to suit their taste, age, and lifestyle. Career wear can be among the trickiest and most expensive clothes to buy, but I've found plenty of stuff on QVC. Since they are selling things at high volume, the prices on home shopping t.v. are often pretty good if not downright cheap. A lot of the items are available on flex pay plans, meaning you can pay a small amount per month on the items instead of the full price. Best of all, most of the lines sold on both HSN and QVC go anywhere from 0 to 3X, maybe higher, with plenty available in between.
If you're hard to fit, you're taking almost as much of a chance with home shopping as you are with buying over the internet. But on t.v., they will often have models of different shapes and sizes wearing the clothes so you can get an idea of how it will look. And returning things to HSN and QVC is easy. The only other problem is whenever they have a very popular line, the items can go very fast and your only recourse is a long waiting list.
Who would've thought your remote control could point the way to clothes that fit and are frequently moderate in price? Check them out.
