Size: 26/28 or 30/32 – depends on the cut, fabric and stretch
Favorite Brands to Shop: fullbeauty, Avenue, Walmart, Boutique+ at JC Penney and SmartGlamour
Why? My tried-and-true brands are Avenue for dresses as well as Woman Within and Roaman’s from fullbeauty.com for tops and petite pants. A couple of years ago, I started buying clothes from, of all places, Walmart. Their Faded Glory brand offers well-made dresses, pants and jeggings in sizes up to 26/28.
I’m also frequenting JCPenney’s website since they partnered with Ashley Nell Tipton on their Boutique+ brand. Hopefully, they’ll carry extended sizes in their stores and not just online.
I’ve also recently discovered the joy of made-to-measure clothes, thanks to brands like Smart Glamour. It’s a time saver to wear a dress right out of the package and not have to take to the local tailor for alterations. As more brands offer extended sizes, I’ll find more great outfits… like the cute skater dress that I just ordered from Society+ and can’t wait to wear.
