Do any of you lovely people know where I can purchase trendy clothes and shoes for the larger ladies, in Florida.

Many Thanks

Hi There

I think you will find that most outlets have clothes for the larger lady, they cater for them more readily in the USA than they do in the UK.

All the larger stores like Sears, Dillans and JCPenny have ranges for the larger lady.

when we went in December i couldnt find anything trendy that i liked i was a size 24, (now looking for 22) in my opinion those we did see were frumpy to me!

Try Capacity Woman (various locations) although most of the store chains have a larger size section. Most sell classic stuff rather than trendy as such but nevertheless good value and people never stop remarking about US purchased clothing in the UK because you can't get the same type of stuff here.

Don't forget you'll be one size smaller in the US too so if you're say, a 24 in the UK, you'll be a 22 in the US. Leisa, you'll be a 20 US size.

Bon Worth at Lake Buena Vista usually have clothes that I like. Give it a try I am sure you will not be disappointed.

I always go to 3 shops: Avenue (The Terrace at Florida Mall,behind Target), Lane Bryant (F Mall) and DressBarn for Women. All do sizes from 14/16 upto 30/32, being a size larger than the UK equiv.

They all do good accessories to go with the clothes, and prtty lingerie/nightwear. Wide range of clothes, from soft cotton T's in summer (zillions of colours) to glam evening wear for Xmas.

Well worth looking.

Also Walmart for very cheep/cheerful shorts and T.s.

Also in Belz there used to be a Liz Claiborne for Women ("Women" in the USA means large sizes), agains with nice clothes and bags/accessories.

Finally look in Macy's/JCPenney, they have "Womens" areas with not too bad stuff.

I could write a book on this subject, there is such a load oc choice compared with what we have at home!
