If this turns into a sticky, make sure to include links to past posts about where to find good exercise clothing (most were posted in the Diet and exercise section, I think) There were some great ideas given and it would be good to have all this "fashion" stuff in one place. Some of the exercise clothing sites also have good undergarments that are really comfortable and still suitable for day wear. I'm doing the sticky dance, too!

[quote=tiggerlily5278;1887347943]I like the stuff at Roman's but their sizing chart didn't help me, and I'm not sure what size I'd be. Do they have stores you can try the stuff on?


Mmm not that I know of.

Thanks for the info.

I second that from pp, Avenue, Lane Bryant, Fashion Bug, they all offer some great clothes in different styles, just depending on what you're looking for. Price wise too Fashion Bug is generally the cheapest, then Avenue then Lane Bryant, but sometimes with sales or whatnot, they can come out to be about the same.

I am a fan of Lane Bryant, Fashion Bug, and Old Navy...i just hate that clothes are so darn expensive. I get coupons from Lane Bryant (by signing up for their mailing list) and have been able to save some money that way.

Hi! I know I search endlessly for attractive clothing that fits the PCOS build (aka the belly) and looks attractive. I have found some great items lately. I recommend:

Faded Glory classic jeans - Available at Walmart for $9.98!!!!!!!!! They have the attractive "in" denim look, have a button fly, and a waist that stretches! The fabric is 2% spandex so it moves with you. Comes in petite, average and tall sizes.

Sag Harbor moleskin jacket/blazer - available at JC Penney (online only) for around $40. Excellent cut that gives the look of a waist with a length that disguises the belly. Machine washable too! Excellent with the faded glory classic jeans and a t-shirt.

Anyway those are my latest finds. Hope this helps!

I was at Steve & Barry's the other day and just thought I'd take a peek at the new Venus Williams (eleven) and Sarah Jessica Parker (bitten) lines they have...and was shocked to see that the sizes went up to about 20 on average! I didn't try anything on, but was impressed that they included larger sizes nonetheless. I saw a pair of track pants by Venus Williams in a size XXL...the back looked too small for my caboose, but maybe they are "low rise" style? I dunno. I'll let y'all know how they fit when I go try them on... And of course there is nothing in the store more than $20...so it's nice and affordable.

Hope this helps someone stay 'stylish'...

I haven't looked at this whole thread, so forgive me if I am posting something that has already been posted before.

My favorite site for workout clothes and swim wear is junonia.com LOVE their work out clothes. Very nice quality.

Be warned their sizing is really big- I tend to buy things 2 sizes smaller than I typically wear.

Although i live in Canada i do shop in the states and i find that the only jeans that fit nicely as well as wash nicely for ps clothing is at Steve and Berrys Sarah Jessica Parkers line bitten.

Hi there! Not sure if anyone has posted this yet but I used to plus model and worked for (at the time) a small, start up in San Francisco called:
www.igigi.com

They have since blossomed and even had a gown worn by Mandese on American Idol a few seasons ago! They are high priced, but fantastic for the price you pay...and I remember working with the founders- terrific, motivated and highly interested women who want nothing but to make our curves look smashing!

PS- I don't think my pictures are on the site anymore. I lost some weight and they actually did not want to use me (a size 12) because I was not big enough. My kind of people!

Meelie, thanks for info about igigi. I really like their clothes, great basics, great special occasion dresses. You know what else I liked, pcos wise, it that the backs and arm openings aren't so low cut. I've got acne scars, and I hate having to expose so much skin in nice evening outfits. The igigi dresses, complete with shrugs and shawls, would be prefect for my less than perfect skin. I hope they expand this line...I'd wear these clothes no matter what size I was...

I would like to add target. Also has anyone bought maternity clothes that didn't look like maternity clothes? I just wanted to let people know who want something that isn't loose in the legs and but but not tight in the waste, that certain maternity pants that don't look like maternity pants are awesome. I wear a size 18-20 in the tummy but they are so loose in the but legs and womanly area I feel like I am wearing mens pants so I decided to buy a pair of maternity capris that don't have that big elastic belly band and no one can tell they are maternity. Its great.
