The elusive perfect pair of jeans.
So true!
The elusive perfect pair of jeans.
A bra with super wide "straps." I have permanent furrows in my shoulders after 40-something years of wearing a bra in which all of the weight is concentrated in an area that's less than an inch wide.
Not my day job, but I make costumes.Thank you for the information. The other dresses are sheaths, not A-line or fit and flare. If I size up for a sheath to feel comfortable around my hips, the top looks sloppy. I actually like the Tahari floral fit and flare but I don't do big florals. I used to make all my own dresses, skirts, etc. But I'm sort of past that now. I may have many of those patterns in my basement. Maybe I'll look for a seamstress.
Are you in the clothing design business? I'd love to know why petites and ladies of a certain age are practically ignored.
Have you tried the Magellan in-house brand from Academy Sports? I really like their outdoor clothes, which come in womens sizes up to 3X, and are nicely-priced as well. Like Columbia PFG, which also comes in plus sizes, these pieces are mostly marketed for fishing, but they are great for hiking, too. (After all, fishing often involves hiking out to your spot. Quick drying, lots of pockets, sun coverage with vents ... all the usual for outdoor time.)Good athletic/outdoors wear. I'm a larger woman who likes to hike and be in nature, and it is a constant irritation that outdoors brands are virtually all sized based on the assumption that fat people (or more specifically, fat women - men's stuff is usually available in more extended sizes) don't go outdoors.
https://www.eshakti.com -- good service, lots of selection (colors, fabrics, styles, sizes -- even petites!), etc. I've used them for swing dance clothes (modest dresses, skirts are not easy to find in petite sizes in dance styles) and been very happy with the results.A dressy dress with 3/4 sleeves, modest neckline (scoop or "v"), knee length, A-line or slight fit-and-flare. No glitter, jewels or lace. Solid color but not black. Sounds simple but does not exist.
