Bigger girls, where do you get your casual clothes?
I'm a size 16  and desperately need new clothes for summer. Last summer I wore my maternity stuff (ds was 1  ) and I can't do it again, I need to just get bigger clothes. I really don't want to spend a lot b/c I am making a serious effort to lose weight and hopefully won't need them for that long.
I was in Target & Kohls this week and the shirts were all clingy or have horizontal stripes. I don't want to show off my fat belly, and I don't need stripes to make me look even bigger than I am.
Can anyone please help?

I hear ya on horizontal stripes!
They are everywhere--I wish I could wear them.
I'm also a 16, but sometimes a 14, so I try to still shop in non-plus size stores.
Old Navy actually had 16s in the regular misses stuff--they have a plus size line, but on-line only. ATL has some 16s, but they can be a little expensive.

Every top I try on is either too tight around the middle or bust or it is too big with no shape!!! XL to 1x is what i'm talking about!

I agree it looks like junk all of it. Their kids stuff is still good, but the adults, JUNK. It gets those little holes in it. Plus it does not hold shape very good. one wash and it looks like you stole a bum's clothes. I really like penney's lately.
