The most common problem is that suit jackets that fit my bust and shoulders hang several inches in front of my ribcage (like drapery, actually) and skirts are too long and make my legs look dumpy.

It ain't happenin'.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885804162029287370.post-69200913113553281562010-04-29T18:59:22.993-04:002010-04-29T18:59:22.993-04:00As someone who is probably older than most who com...As someone who is probably older than most who comment on blogs, I'd say the pickings are getting slimmer. Two of my favorite traditional professional plus bridge clothing makers, Ellen Tracy and Dana Buchman, are no longer in that market.<br /><br />Since ET/DB pieces are classics made generally with natural fibers (silk, wool, linen and cotton), I am still wearing the pieces I already have.Soigne1908https://www.blogger.com/profile/10350766807499883531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885804162029287370.post-11042711348653559732010-04-29T01:56:19.962-04:002010-04-29T01:56:19.962-04:00This is really interesting take on the concept.

Yes, you can find them, but they tend to be much more expensive then comparable straight size clothing and the choices tend to be low on creativity or current trends. Macys, Nordstrom Rack and Talbots outlet are my favorite but it is a bit annoying that there is no plus size equivalent of Banana Republic, Ann Taylor or even H&M.juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12733255480143901161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885804162029287370.post-19184846281145613472010-04-27T15:36:40.029-04:002010-04-27T15:36:40.029-04:00I'm the same way.
